Question for you on the Mike Fink shoot from a first time shooter.  This is similar to the postal matches where each member of the team shoots their own target and sends it in individually.  Is that right?

It is an honor to team up with Mad Jack, and would be equally honorable to represent the great state of West Virginia...'cept that I'm from New York! ;)

That be so, Jack...especially since I haven't fired any of my [ML] rifles since early January!

Btw, I'm at the other end of NYS, about 90 - 100 miles above NYC on the west shore of the Hudson River.

That's real ranger country. :wave  Mighta had one them thar metal detector thingies. Go prospecting fer goodies. I found a red clay pipe bowl by luck onetime (14 yo). I was playing baseball in the Hannastown, PA area, and found it in the river loom infield dirt brought there from Monessen, PA where 'twas dredge up from the Monongahela River. On of our members in the Rangers of the Ohio Company is an Archeologist by profession. He checked it out and pronounce it, "Now, that's a pipe!" 250-275 years ripe.
  Here's a pic of it ( red one in center without a stem):
