'Course, nothing looks like it did that long ago....... :wink:

Ya' know, you wouldn't even recognize Viet Nam nowadays. It's actually a nice travel destination now.

Still no target arrived down in Aus - someone must have shot the carrier pigeon - hope I get it in time to perforate it and get it back! Today is a perfect autumn day - 23 Celsius and absolutely no wind - have been out on the tractor spraying weeds prior to seeding some pasture.

Cheers

ok - I finally got the target - now that the winter rains have started - we need the rain anyway so will find a break sometime to have a go

plenty of lambs hitting the ground so the fox population will also be suffering over the next few weeks

This coming Wednesday's weather forecast looks promising. I think I'll shoot for that day. Pun intended. :lol:

Well...Shot my target for score this past Friday, not my greatest precision shooting! My local range finally dried out enough to make the road usable but there were fairly large puddles to negotiate between the shooting benches and the target stands. The extended weather forecast has rain in it nearly every other day & I had concerns that the range would close again due to high water. The winds were fairly light and variable but I was able to take my shots between the puffs of breeze. I've shot in similar conditions in the past but haven't had a target look this "bad" :eek: . I kept thinking that I could shrink the groups on the next target, not. The winds between my ears must have been much worse than those on the range! At any rate, Skipper has gone through all the trouble to get the target to me, the least I can do is return the favor. I hope you all have some great shooting & kick my butt. :oops:

glad you made it out and took a little pressure off the rest of us. I've been doing 58 hour work weeks should be able to make to the range in a few weeks so I can show you what a bad target really looks like

My target is in the mail. I am pleased with 2 of the 3 targets although I know it is no way close to the top score. Thanks to Skipper for handling this competition.

My target should go out in the mail either today or tomorrow, depends on postal efficiency. Skipper, thanks for taking care of the competition again this year! Hopefully everyone that received a target will get them back to you. Please try not to laugh out loud when you score my target! :lol:
