It likes to be semi dirty. I will probably clean it good and shoot a practice group, let it cool off then cuss at skipper for this @@$@ing target and let it fly.

I am a little nervous to shoot against this group of people, we got some shooters here. I know I am good enough for angle of coyote. Anything beyond that is gravy

Hello Skipper, I've been "out of action" for a while due to a catastrophic injury to my left thumb and index finger, fortunately I shoot right handed. Unfortunately I've missed the deadline for having a target sent to me. If it's at all possible, could you send me a target? If not I understand as rules are rules. I was really looking forward to shooting the challenge this year but the fates had other plans. Anyway, I wish all of the competitors luck and fair weather to shoot in! Aim small, miss small.

Wes
Shoot straight & often.

Okay, I'm back now. WesF, I'm very sorry but that would tend to go against the tules. I wished you could have competed though.

I checked my P.O. box today and found the following envelopes:

I haven't opened them yet but will get around to it sometime today. Too many things to catch up on after being gone for a week.

So I just got my new pad and bench completed on the range. I think my first session will be to shoot at Skippers invisible rat...

After these pictures were taken it rained cats and dogs, I imagine that dirt got washed away. More back fill is needed but for now this will have to do. A good project but one that was hard on an old man...

Today I fired my first shots on the new range. My target is in the mail Skipper. I had a hard time of it.

Thanks. I hope you dont show it to anyone. The good news is that poor performance made me spend some money and get a scope upgrade.
