Congratulations Russ, Rob. WOW, Say that fast five times. The shooting was easier. Nice targets guys.

Thanks guys!

 :Doh! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

The Mike Fink shoot has always been a really fun thing for all of us, but it is a lot more fun when you can get to practice a little beforehand.
On this particular shoot, I was "on" more than I was off at the instant the shot broke, and normally that turns out pretty fair for me....I can still call a missed shot from a mile away, once the shot breaks and if it looks like it's going to miss, it will.

Uncle Russ...
It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

Most Excellent shooting!  :bow  I had a little problem discerning one of Uncle Russ's tens and one of the eights, until I saw that they were blending in with the white background.  :o  Hopefully I can learn to shoot that well one of these years!  :pray: :laffing

uncle russ had an Amazing target - just look at that smoothbore group!  wow!  superb shooting, indeed!   :bow

me?  heck, just look at that mess!  all over the place and lucky by a cat's whisker on more than a few holes.  what a mess.  phooey.

the cool thing about these personal postal "local" matches is that you can get pumped up to just do Better.  let's face it, it's a one-on-one game, with each of us being the "one".  i know i can do better, and that means more range time - with a purpose!  :bl th up
