That is a cool picture!  :bl th up

Russ my friend,,, I have to admit you got me laughing when I read this in your post above;

Quote
"I wanna get out there and shoot" but that ain't going to happen today. The Range is most likely open, but with these temps in the 20's, and that wind blowing......., I keep thinking about that old scene where a kid had his tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole... :P

First thing came to mind was,,, "why would you stick your tongue on your rifle barrel"  :laffing :laffing :laffing and I'm still laughing  :laffing :laffing :laffing

Okay, I couldn't let that go by.  :toast :bow :shake

You made my day!  :hairy

Uncle Russ may be one of those old reprobates who likes to blow down the barrel after a shot, like me.  :laffing

Me too... :)

And for the life of me I didn't even think about that.  All I could think of was maybe he licked his thumb and ran it over the front sight - then I thought - no,,, he said tongue... Then I thought, "unless he gives his front sight a lick" and about that time I was laughing so hard (like I am now) I couldn't think straight!!!  :laffing :laffing :laffing

Oh brother,,,  :Doh!  :pray:

That does make a larger black since the outer ring is heavy, than what I find in the practice targets, which will be good for aging eyes.  I don't think I could even see that little, bitty one inch circle from 25 yards!   :laughing

The intent was to use some of those new Targets that were included in the Silhouette Packets in the Monthly Shoots. However they print off with a grayish background, and at the time I thought the new targets would save some expensive ink for our members when printing our new targets.

However, grayish background targets will not save ink, therefore we will revert to the use of the old pdf posted TMA Target downloads which print with a white background.

I will change the required "Monthly" targets to be used for our Monthly Shoots so that we'll be using the old pdf white background targets. So far I've changed April and May and will do the rest tonight.

We're still having our Monthly Shoots - not to worry on that order...  :bl th up :bl th up
