Altho we are two weeks away from the end of this one and its starting out kinda slow, any suggested changes for next months ?

right Now I'm going to do a random drawing from all the entries for a $20 gift cert to the shooting supply store of the winners choosing.
Thinking next month changing that a little, more if we have a certain number of participants,or carrying it to the next month if we don't
Maybe adding a 200 yd .22 category.

Ideas ??

If I should ever get the top of the leader board no prize is necessary for me. It's just a fun shoot for me to keep me from walking the floor window to window looking at the snow flakes. I went to the range yesterday again and set up with my little Missy the .40-65 but I could not get a clear shot through the snow flakes. I could not hold the 9 ring on a SR target with a 2" orange paster in the center.

The 200 yard .22 match I would like. I think I can get that much in my yard with out scaring the Geeeeewizzzz out my new neighbors shooting the powder rifles. :lol:

I like the idea of a .22 200 yards category! That would get interesting and maybe draw a few more shooters.

My plan was to shoot a second target tomorrow but it was only 15 degrees out there today and I about froze my toes while working. Tomorrow is not supposed to be as "warm" as today was and I'm thinking 12 degree might be just more (or less) than I can do. Still I am thinking about it. I'm not sure what that says for my sanity? :roll:

At least with a .22 match I wouldn't have my wiping solution and patches freezing up on me! :shock:

Yahoo on the 22 idea! I bet I can make that happen....as soon as I get over the flu.

I too like the .22 / 200 yard match. Next day that it's dry, I'll get one done.

Jim, I can't figure out why my puter does this. I only hit submit once.

I'm trying to figure out how to get this done. Squirrel season is still on, so a guy has to deal with priorities. Don't change anything.

Except maybe a little heat would be nice.
