Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

It might be a few days before all the targets make their way back home. When I'm sure there has been adequate time for targets postdated September 1st to make it back I'll make an official announcement with member's scores. We have international competitors so we have to give time for those targets ...

Re: Texas Bird Hunting Begins Soon

Went dove hunting yesterday but only killed one bird that flew into the front of the truck on the way to the field. Go figure :roll: At least I got to take my son in law and his dog Bear.

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

That would be mine. I wasn't aware that we needed to put our names on the targets but now that I think about it I probably should have. I'm fairly certain I put my return address on the envelope but maybe I didn't. I've already PM'd skipper. I keep a spreadsheet with all the information I have on e...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

:eek: :eek: :eek: Oh My God :eek: :eek: :eek: I got a padded envelope in my mailbox and one of my eyebrows raised when I spotted it. Why would someone put their target in a padded mailing envelope??? Could it be... I raced home and carefully opened the envelope. There was no name on the target (some...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

Looks like I'm going to have to go Thursday, if at all. This storm has really messed up my plans.

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I'm fine. My family is spread all around Houston and luckily they are all high and dry. My only close call was with a Texas Twister that dropped down very close to my house. Everywhere around Houston is flooded and I have many neighbors that have lost everything. My father is 95 years old and still ...

Re: New to the 204 world, happy with my first one so far!

Nice looking AR. Thanks for sharing the picture. We have quite a few members with ARs. I'm sure they will offer some suggestions. Sorry, but my AR is a Sig in 223 so I don't have any loads that I can share with you.

Re: Kimber Revolvers, anyone have one?

I have been a fan of Kimber firearms for years. I just haven't been exposed to Kimber revolvers. I probably would have bought the one I had in my hands if it had the single action option. I'm not a big fan of double action only. I love the feel of a Smith and Wesson revolver when I can pull the trig...

Kimber Revolvers, anyone have one?

I had the pleasure of handling one of these gems yesterday at Cabela's. My first impression was bewilderment. I've never even imagined Kimber producing revolvers, yet here it was. The trigger pull was firm yet smooth and the actual break was really very nice. The retail price is on par with the Smit...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I made that target with Microsoft Power Point. You could actually reproduce it pretty easily. I was going to offer it to JaxTeller to use for the monthly competitions. I will post it after the Challenge is over.

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I haven't received a target in the mail yet. This will be my last weekend to do it so I may have to hold on to it for next years challenge when it finally arrives. Thanks for the effort all the same Skipper. Nobodies fault but the mailman. I sure hope it reaches you in time. Remember, it just has t...

Re: 2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

I knew my group was terrible but Skipper spent the time and effort to mail them out so the least I could do is mail my target back. Thanks, looking forward to next year. You are more than welcome. It is my pleasure to serve this forum. It's not going to hurt my feelings if targets do not get return...
