i can't believe what i just did ...

[RobD]

... i've finally attained the height of stupidity as i review today's target faces ...

early a.m. today and no sign of rain, so i carved out a few hours to head to the range.  great.  i can do both rounds, the mike fink and the smoothbore, while testing out the guns.  long drive to the range, traffic, 95f and 99% humidity ... but  heck, i'm goin' SHOOTIN'!  yeah!

i bring along three guns -  the .62 smoothie, an unfired GPR .50, and a just returned .36 jack garner skwerl gun.  after a few shots with each gun to quickly suss them out, i put up the two TMA target faces and decide to shoot the .36 along with the smoothie.  dang, i filled mike's face with holes and totally missed the cup.  well, crud.  but i had some hits on the bullseye face.  ok, that's good. 

pack it up, long drive back to the ranch, clean the guns, shower, get some good grub, go to review the targets.  took me a few minutes to realize what i done, and failed to do ... momma said there'd be dayze like this, momma said.

Mike with the smoothie,  other with the rifle?  I say you should get a mulligan!

I think that's mulligan worthy, Rob. Do'er again.   

I do commend you on facing down 'ol Mike Fink with a smoothie. I don't believe I ever saw that done before...

Yes, (and I'm sure all will agree) do a do over. 

[Roaddog]

I'm glad you took O'l Spiffy the 36 to the dance.Yep I think ya should shoot it again'

[Maven]

Pretty good shooting' at Ole Mike with a smoothie, though, Rob.

[greyhunter]

Thanks for the reminder! Now it's time for me to maul old Mike, going to wait a few days, hotter than Hades in Pa.

[RobD]

finally got to the range yesterday and used the .36 skwerl flinter on the mike fink.  this is about as good as it's gonna get for me offhand, and i'll take it!



unfortunately, ignition issues are still bugging the jackie brown .62 smoothbore so i couldn't put holes in that TMA smoothie target face.

[Ohio Joe]

That's a good target Rob. Looks like it's gonna score a 40.

You shaved a little hair off the top of ol' Mike Finks head, but not enough (as it appears to me) to hurt your score.

I gotta get out there and make smoke!
We only got 3 more Physical Therapies and then we graduate....soon as she can walk a 2# ball up the wall, over her head, with her right arm / shoulder we'll be all done with PT.

Pretty soon,  ya just wait!

Uncle Russ...

[RobD]

family first, russ - all in good time ... but we do miss ya!  heck, with my crummy shootin', *I* miss ya most! 

[Ohio Joe]

Thank's Rob. 

I have a few idea's for next year that I'm bouncing around that just may add more fun.

Just a clarification on scoring.
Is it 10 points per hit on the cup

OR

is it indicated score?

Just wondering.  Would seem that 10 points per hit would tend to produce a lot of tied scores?

I MAY even shoot in the next one, depending on the weather and how I'm feeling then.
