What a great compilation. The community grows and the CFC just keeps getting better and better. Great to see lots of historical shooting too! Congratulations to all the winners!
You're a giant big part of that. Thank you for choosing this community. Shooting is cool and something we can all do safely. You demonstrate that with every movement and safety procedure. Thanks to people like you CFC is experiencing a black powder resurgence. Thank you! Maple Leaf 🍁 Up
@@Riflechair no no. Thank you. Next year we will do our best to represent our local club, add a few more shooters, maybe a couple from the next generation so they can begin to chart their progress. We will hopefully up our video quality also. See if we can fit a few more swear words into the banter. This event is incredibly fun for us and helps to keep the rust from building up before highpower and/or Appleseed season. Who knew Bloke was such a badass with that .22? Omg.
@@arl0xen551 oh yes definitely. BoTR is the real deal. I'm glad he decided to support the match by entering. Same with 'The Chap' both super interesting human beings.
Great stuff. If only I had a place to shoot near by that can accommodate all the positions. My local range requires different height target stand between standing an prone, hence why I didn't get to enter even the rimfire division. Great efforts folks!
Only 176.1 days to go! This sounds really interesting and hope you will update us on this project. You no doubt have a vision for this rifle and plan to achieve it.
Firstly: Holy Moly! I can't believe I did as good as I did! It's going to be tough for me to work on continuous improvement and doing better next year with a 2nd place score like that. Second: Thanks again to all the hosts, volunteers, and participants. This thing is a blast to shoot Third: For RC's question in the summary about Div4 lacking competitors; I would for sure enter if I owned a single shot. Heck, even if I owned a rifle with a magazine cut-off I'd see if that qualified, but currently I don't have access to one. I'm eventually going to be in the market for a Martini-Henry, but there is a couple other rifles further up the list I'm looking at first hopefully
Many thanks to all the volunteers who made this possible and to Ethan from @ilovemuzzleloading where I saw this challenge for the first time. I will be back next year in at least the muzzleloader division if not Division 2 & 3 as well. Division 4... It would be my guess that there are very few of these guns around (at least not in my gun safe). I will spread the word about this challenge in hopes of bringing in a few more shooters. All puns intended, I had a BLAST! De Oppresso Liber.
I was going to submit an entry, but the weekend I was going down to the range it snowed six inches and was absolutely freezing cold. I stayed home, as clearly winter hadn't quite finished with us yet.
I can say that I don´t shoot DIV 4 cause I don´t have a single shot rifle. Still it´s always great to see entries in that division, keep it. I could maybe shoot it with my combination gun next time, will see later. It´s also great to see other shooters how they perform in CFC, it´s about testing yourself and not taking it too seriously. Good practice to hone your basic rifleman skills. CFC is usually the start of my shooting/practicing season. I shoot excessively in spring, summer and autumn but less in winter. One reason being that my range is practically closed in winter because of too much snow. Time to time I go to nearest city for open range but shooting isn´t much fun in cold(=below -15°C) temperatures and snow is another fun challenge. Fun living in north Finland... Anyway, I´m little bit "rust" in CFC time with changing positions, shooting generally but I try to use the opportunity to do a cold, not practiced run to see where I´m at the moment. CFC is great cause it tests four different shooting positions with a time limit.
Well done everyone. The top 5 Score for WW2 data - doubt if the variation can be separated from random. Even if you have 30 -40 entries for each. Just a feeling.
hiya just subbed recently i have/had not shot anything for at least 25 years my guns sat for a long while not doing a thing not even gathering rust(they looked just same as when i put them away) TODAY though was different i recently picked up a 30-30 and an second 303 brit and shot them both,,,,,, OMFG why did i wait for my eyes to to to shit before going out? ill fix the eyes thing and tighten my groups right up as for now both guns hit the paper and even better than just paper at 100Y,,,,, im soooooo friggin happy today was a good day,,,,, now to clean up!!!! not me the guns
@@shockwave326 I think prescription safety glasses might work. Pretty scratch resistent and robust. Just an idea. Thats what I use in case of a head case separation. I believe most rifle ranger require eye protection.
@@Riflechair lol i do have eye protection and good clear yellow glasses that are about 25 years old they still work but i was thinking in terms of prescription advice single focus(on the target) bi focal(dont know if that would work having to shift a persons head up),,,, and btw i did have one round when i saw the target at 100 and the sights were also clear i think i broke a vein doing that,,,, i tried but could not replicate it it was weird that even happened it was like i was 25 again for just a second lolololololo PS,, i guess bi focal might do the trick if i can learn to shift to the other focal lens without raising or lowing the front or rear sight in the sight picture
@@Riflechair Thank you sir! I would say early Chinese Type 56's are on par with the SKS-45, but would rather have the original Russian instead. Hoping to add one in my collection in the future!! :)
@@HangInThereCat so, I have tested a few norinco SKS rifles with various factory ammo types. The best groups I have seen out of one of those is 5 moa. After working the action and bedding the rifle, I have seen 4 moa. Legend tells of people getting them to 3 moa. Yours looks pretty unaltered. That’s a 5 moa rifle at an 8 moa target with an AK sight picture. You really smashed it.
Not got access top as suitable range😪. Had a go at 25 yards using 2" centre targets. Defiantly a challenge, defiantly would not have won even if it counted.

This was my 1st year doing this challenge, but it won’t be the last! Had a blast! I’ll be entering in more divisions as well
Thank you for including my reaction when I realized Nick shot a better score with my rifle, cold. We had a good laugh watching the awards video live.
I had fun on editing that, wanted to share it for the rest of us 😁
I got a good chuckle out of that one too :). I love range banter!
You both shot extremely well. It could have gone either way. The process of discovery is amazing. You guys rock. Thank you

Thanks for putting this together and looking forward to next year’s competition!
Great job Chuck!!! Making that Lever Action look good!
Congratulations to all division winners and all participants. And thank you division leaders. I'll be waiting for next year to participate CFC 2024.

Those black powder shooters razzing each other are so much fun. Love it.
All of the Blackpowder shooters I ever shot with were like that. I miss the banter terribly.
I am currently building the lock for next year's cabin fever challenge gun for the muzzleloader portion.
Is it January yet? Lol

Those Henry's, not doing too bad
I was good to see a bunch of lever guns this year.

Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. Glad to hear that you caught a piece of it. The refamiliarization and education starts today.
@@Riflechair any advice for shooting with these old eyes what type of glasses should i use

Can't wait until next year. Had a blast! Thanks to RC and the Division Leaders! Awesome to see everyone's submissions. - HITC
You did exceptionally well. Who made the better SKS? THE Chinese Type 56 or the Russian SKS-45?
I have never ever seen anyone run an SKS that accurately. Awesome.
@@Riflechair Thank you sir! I would say early Chinese Type 56's are on par with the SKS-45, but would rather have the original Russian instead. Hoping to add one in my collection in the future!! :)
