Thank you again skipper for hosting this competition. It was nice to have some friendly competition. I will more than likely be participating in the monthly shoots as well.

Would you be able to provide a copy of the target that we used? I was a big fan of it.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this Skipper! I'm glad you had a decent number of targets returned. I've run matches at our local club that didn't include all of the mailing of targets & I know what it takes to do something like this. Congratulations to 204Nut on your tiny group, nice shooting! I was amazed at the size of my group, all the stars must have been lined up just perfectly, not too bad for an old guy with a box stock Savage model 12.
Shoot straight & often.

I wanted to thank everyone for their generosity, kind words, and for the level of sportsmanship you exhibited. I intend to host another Challenge next year for those who are interested in a postal, snail mail, shoot. Until then, I am going to go shoot some monthly, no rules, groups to practice. See you at the range!

Thanks Skipper, It was fun to drag my old rifle out of its cage. About 4 years since I've shot it and the ammo was 25.8 gr of benchmark in Norma cases under 39gr Sierra BKs, that I loaded in 2013.
Stay high and dry!

Dialing it in for the competition!
