Default Twoonie Club

The idea of a twoonie club came,Gongs and targets are fine--1000m hits excellant.A twoonie measures1.101 in, well thats a fairly big target.The centre measures .652. To become a club member you have to take the centre out at 100 m.The rules simple 100m distance for a shot--rifles any cal.I dont expect a big membership.Talk is cheap--Let you rifle do the talking.get your name on what I expect to be a very short list.Just duct tape a twoonie to a piece of plywood,and bang away.Then we can move to a loonie elite club--200m---300m.

Defacing legal currency is illegal I thought?

And it’s been done before......

But, this poster wasn’t counselling illegal acts.

X2, i don’t think advertising a contest to further destroy more currency is too smart. Maybe get yourself some big washers, masking tape, and a felt marker would be a better idea?

A friend of mine has a saying, “There’s no sense in being a fool if you can’t show it”, it just keeps playing over and over again when I read this thread.

My rifle knows better than to talk when it’s not time, once you get something set up for a 1000yd shoot you’ll hear my rifle talk.

I doubt you’ll have much to worry about.... you have to actually hit it in order to destroy it.

Events like Leffingwell, and BR shoots highlight such feats....... there’s zero point in shooting coins to prove, what?

You should come to shoots like Leffingwell, you’ll get a huge dose of humble pie.

To be legal just photocopy a toonie.... something pretty well all shooters can do and shoot at their local spot whereas it is unlikely they will travel to a match. Just a fun activity to focus on accuracy.

If you can hit a 10 ring or an X on a BR target, I’m pretty sure a loonie wouldn’t stand a chance.
That’s what the match attendance is about.

Stage fright or what ever is the lamest excuse I’ve heard. Toe the line, or sit out, just do one or the other.

ahhh 260 rem--For sure has the edge on my 6,5cm--At 100m you could be the 1st one in.
