Unless someone else already has something in mind, I thought we might get started now for May.
I will post directions for forwarding results if there is any interest
I thought to use the same three stages as usual to begin. Offhand and pistol at 25 yds and 50 yard bench. Keep in mind that the scoring is from the center of the hole due to the many calibers in play.

If there is enough interest we will dig around for a novelty target or two.

After more than a year without firing a shot...sounds like a good way to get back to making Smoke...

Change of plans.  Surgery yesterday and again today.  don't think I'll be shooting anytime soon.  Have to miss at least a month and more likely 2 to three.  Life just keeps happening.  Carry on guys!!!!                      this typing with only part of one hand really sucks.

I'm in, but I'll be lucky to even hit the target at 25 yards with a pistol.  It will be fun and someone has to be last.

I don't have a lot of time these days, broke ground on an 18 unit condominium, but I will try to get some shots fired.

Its going to be a fairly busy summer for me but I will plan to shoot whatever targets you choose.
Feel free to bounce any novelty target ideas my way and if I come up with any suggestions I will send them your way. 

I'm in.

I'll try but we're moving in three weeks, only about 2 blocks but it's an older home, plaster & lath walls and built sometime prior to 1900. My honey do list is pretty full and between my cancer treatment side effects (my adrenal glands have shut down and I have to take hydrocortisone for the rest of my life,) weight gain from the steroids, shortness of breath, maybe steroids maybe COPD, muscle weakness,  osteoporosis, digestive problems, etc. and all the work that needs done, I'm not sure how much time I can get for fun. However, I figure that any time I have above ground is a bonus so I'll try to fit in any fun I can. My wife set up reservations so that we can go to Dixon's little doings this year and I plan to hit the Trinity while I'm in the area.

Brian,
Tried to run the target off but they won't come up. Any prizes wanted or just for bragging rights?

You and I are having a contest for that last place, russell.  So far I'm the forum king of last place!
