Hello again, is anyone interested in Shooting Postals this season?

[pilgrim]

      Did the target download???

[flintboomer]

i got it but my printer quit!

[Hanshi]

The target still doesn't come up.  I'll see if I have a couple left from a while back and get some zeroxed.

Hey guys, I have downloaded these on my computer and my wife's Mac. The link goes straight to downloads so check your documents file and look for the latest download and it should be there.

[Red Badger]

I will participate and if anyone wants to donate prizes they can send their submission to me as a pm and we will notify you of who to send the prize too upon completion of the event. 

This will allow us to determine the ranking of prizes.  the first place prize will be the one receive a pm notifying me of it first the 2nd place will be the one I am told of next etc...

Of course this is predicated upon the fact that someone donates a prize...

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.

Sorry to hear you are also in the battle with big 'C'  keep up the fight. Doug

I am attaching the target to this post

I finally made the target download!  I did it by ignoring every instruction and all obvious steps and trashing anything the computer said to do.  I'm beginning to think I live in an alternate world unlike everyone else.

Hanshi, you're no the only one to have problems w/computers. My preacher wife says that there's a reason every computer comes w/ a cursor.

I find that judicious applications of a framing hammer will help immensely. While it won't fix the computer, it WILL make you feel better.

I went out today and fired the 25yd rifle target and the 25yd pistol target.  There was a time when I shot like an "Andy" Oakly; but no more.  Nowadays I shoot more like Don Knots.  But the good news is I kept all shots on the paper; bad news is that they didn't hit where i wanted them to - is there such a thing as "negative" scores??  If I get a chance I'll shoot them again along with the bench target.

I used that little heavy barrel .45 capgun I got from Mongrel.  I mostly used it in the past for postal shoots; but it developed trigger problems that I can no longer fix with duct tape and Gorilla Glue.  I suppose i'll just set it aside until I can get another trigger for it.  The little sucker is so darn accurate.  I'll bring one of my flintlocks to the target range for the foreseeable (stupid, I know cause how much of the future can one actually see) future instead.  But if I have to send in todays targets, I'll be almost impossible to beat for last place.

Well, Hanshi, I've still got you beat for last on the pistol.  I did the 25 yard rifle and pistol this morning.  The rifle wasn't too bad (not good) but I only hit the target paper 3 times with my Remington.  I'll mail the rifle but I'll try to do better with the pistol.  Planning on a range trip to do the 50 yard tomorrow.  Good thing there's no entry fees or prizes for this.

Question: Does the pistol for the shoot have to be a single-shot pistol or are revolvers allowed too?

[russell shaffer]

My revolver shooting is on a par with a good derringer.  Don't know if it's the gun or me, but I'm leaning toward blaming the shooter.  I missed the entire target paper twice.
