A Little Guessing Game

[Semisane]

I had a short shooting session with my H&A Minuteman two weeks ago. Here's the gun.

I haven't shot this gun in the last three years. So, I set the first target out at 35-yards to check the sights, and took five shots. Here's that target.

I picked up the patches after each shot. Can you guess which one was shot #3?

Umm. Top left??

 

[Semisane]

Umm. Top left??

Oh man Harleysboss - - - - so close.

Any idea why that one patch blew out so badly?

 

[Semisane]

I lubed five patches before shooting and set them on the shooting table. For some dumb reason I grabbed a dry patch instead of one of the lubed ones. Didn't realize it until I wacked it with the short starter, then it was too late.

You should know better than to whack your short starter without checking for proper ball protection!

Yeah, I know bronko. But you know how carried away you can get when whacking your short starter.
