This is gonna be interesting for sure. I might actually be able to hit the paper a couple times come August... :laffing :pray:

We've also got another target in our TMA Target download area that might make a good one to take some shots at in the future. It's the TMA-XB-1B...

We'll save this one for our second match.

I shot my Mike Fink target today. I am trying to decide if the sun got in my eyes, it was too windy, too hot, too cold, I haven't shot that rifle enough or some other excuse I haven't thought of yet. I think I will wait until August to shoot the smoothbore match.  Maybe I will have recovered from this experience by then.  :Doh!

amm1851, I shot my Fink target July 1st or 2nd (can't remember for sure), and have been searching the book of Two Steps for my best explanation of how I shot... Scary stuff.... :lol sign

Mighty nice of you, Al... :shake

I'm leaning towards the floaties, but I don't think anyone's gonna believe me since it's pretty dry out my way. I'm gonna have to come up with somethin' big to sell it... :pray:  :)
