Thanks for the critique Joe. The Chicken was three good solids but the Ram was chest and butt. Can't explain it, 'ceptin' maybe got over confident. That other target had those forgiving thick outlines that sure helped the count.This winter I was doing some rehab on my left elbow from the re-positioning of the Ulner Nerve bundle due to an auto accident I was the unfortunate by-standing participant of, everything is feeling better. But, NOW that crazy bone is in a different spot and I have to learn not to use the elbow at that specific spot. I hunted in PA with my flinter since I could rest it when I needed to. Never had a good shot present itself.  Looking forward to June. These shoots are a good excuse to load and make smoke. I still can't believe all the guys on a lot of sites that still say they can't get to a range. I don't have that problem. I'm retired but Coach the throw events at Point Park University in Pittsburgh PA. We just lost a great young man (19) to a drowning accident in AL at the National Championships. He will be missed greatly. He wasn't just an exceptional athlete but a developing fantastic individual. I'm also a Site Acquisition Specialist (part time) for Echo Tech Resources, a Cellular Communications Systems Development Company started 4 years ago by my daughter. She teases me saying she had to find a way to keep Mom and Dad moving. Nice to have extra cash now and then.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

You do stay busy MIJ, that's for sure. Sorry to hear of the young man lost to a drowning accident. Sad, very sad.

I hope everyone who shoots in our TMA matches are enjoying themselves. It's a good way to stay in the game/sport we all love so much. I think it just takes a bit of time for word of mouth of these Silhouette postal matches to get around, and once it does I think we'll have some pretty full boards with lots of scores posted on them. Keep up the good shooting and take care of that elbow MIJ.  :shake

No Powder, I have posted your May score. Very nice shooting my friend. Those were some good targets you turned in for sure.  :bl th up

Your score is posted.  :)
