TMA Postal Shoots / Re: Postal Shoot questions

Thanks, I might have to take you up on that - but I'll work on getting a printer and learning more about this kind of thing. I have sort of resisted all this computer related stuff - I'm fighting a loosing battle and slowly realizing it.
That contest sounds like fun and would give me a reason to mess around with my guns. I have a dirt hill in the back yard and can set up at 25 or 50 yards easy enough.

Yes, unfortunately the world has long gone digital and those left in its wake struggle almost daily.  I can commiserate! 

Worse yet is the fast approaching "world of AI" - that's already becoming a nightmare!

Anyhoo, I think you'll enjoy the TMA Postal Shoot and good on the folks offering target printing assistance!

My "horn rehab project" is complete: I found a buyer for the horn without re-working it!!!    :toast  It will be nice to be out in the shop this weekend without wondering what to do with it.

Did you want a safe way?  Because there isn't one. . . which is a bummer, because it would make our supply issues so much easier to resolve. 

About the best you can do is to sell the range lead and buy what you want (or trade the range lead directly for what you want).  There's no safe way to remove the tin/antimony/etc at home.
