Thanks. It's interesting to see any coverage of this stuff!

I see that the long range muzzle loading guys use a weird system of marking targets. The marker discs are in different places than we place them in BPTR. That would be confusing to me

That video was shot a number of years ago. That was the scoring system we used in all target rifle matches until the advent of our current system that keeps your hands lower on the target when marking and scoring. I hadn't seen the video in a while. Sorry to say several of those shooters have passed on. Atterbury is a difficult range for BPTR to shoot, but the only long range available for our game in Indiana. It faces South and there is no berm behind the targets to show bullet impact. The berms in front of the target are green and moist, and absorb the bullet impact with zero indication. If you don't have good sight settings, it can be difficult to get on paper. I've shot well there, but don't anymore, because of the way the matches have been run.
