2018 "March" Monthly Postal Match Results

[blackpowderbill]

Joe, Do I have to pay extra for the monthly shoots?   If so I can pay via PP...

AND I printed out a whole stack of targets are all for matches or are some for fun/practice?

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes, the monthly postal matches are separate from the TMA Silhouette Match, and yes you can pay through Pay Pal.

I have a schedule posted for Monthly Matches at this link;

http://tradmla.org/tmaf/index.php?topic=22428.0

It also includes the info on entry fee and the targets we'll use each month. 

[blackpowderbill]

Ah ok I sent in the buff target but no cash with it. I'll toss 10$ on the pp tomorrow. 

Joe, can not locate the PayPal button to pay 10$. All I get is the 9$ fee.. I'll send the money next target I send in.

[Ohio Joe]

Thanks Bill. I received your targets today and have your scores posted. By the way, you had some nice groupings on several of those silhouette targets. 

I want to shoot at least one more monthly postal match before I start on my TMA Silhouettes. The chickens scare the h-ll out'a of me. That's a tough target! 

[blackpowderbill]

That's for the compliment.
Man those chickens I saw them clearly but that old pull through a running target didn't work every time.
 It was a nice day here so I decided to shoot them to get them out of the way.

Chickens?  Why down here in FL (and in Maine as well), there called "no see ums" (also spelled no see ems)!   They're not easy to hit either.

Bill, them little ol' Chickens ain't got no meat on 'em anyway......Turkeys ain't much better!
I'd starve to death if my score on Chickens required hits....but they do make pretty nice "warm-up" shots.

I like Bacon, and Ram meat fairly well...there's more to 'em, and they're a whole lot easier to see.
Like Maven was saying, those "no-see-'ums" are tough to hit, I like see-'em-good much better, but that's just me.

Don't forget guys, as it says on the silhouette targets;

"You may shade the center of each target with a black felt marker for a better sight picture. However - Do Not Shade Outside The Silhouette's Outer Line"

Now I don't know if it helps with a person's sight picture, but it is allowed.

The second day of Spring and we have had snow coming down for the past couple of hours!

Of course, some of our guys back on the East Coast have it pretty bad right now.

Nothing bad, and nothing sticking, but that temperature sure is dropping fast.
Three weeks ago, for a couple of days, we had temperatures in the mid 50's....old dummy me just knew it was going to get better.
The Weatherman even said so, but if anything it has gotten progressively worse ever since!

When I grow up I want to be a Weatherman, seems to me you don't need to know a whole lot, and you can say pretty much what you want to say. No matter how it turns out you can always say, "Well, that's Mother Nature for you"....

6" snowstorm nor'easter yesterday, mostly cleared up today.  can't remember when last we such bad feb/march weather into spring, and it ain't over yet.  doubt there'll be any dayze this month for planning a range visit.  bummed.

[Ohio Joe]

Russ, Rob,,, you guy's need to move more towards the middle of the country where Rondo and I live. The weather man has promised me 50's and 60's this week, and I don't know how he pulled it off, but low and behold he's been right. Who'd-a-thunk-it....

Yeah, "Who'd-ever-thunk-it".   Still yet, one out of many will actually get it right, but so does that blind Squirrel... on occasion.

My advise Joe, never bet good money on that Weatherman!

From what I've been seeing on TV, Rob and thousands of others along the Coast are getting a real beating with this weather.
Haven't heard from Hank, or Al, but I would imagine they're getting it to.

You're absolutely right, Russ... See, I plan on going shooting tomorrow and we know what that means - yes, the weather will turn foul. No way around it. 

[Hank in WV]

We lucked out here with 3". Over in Pgh, they got 6". I have a shoot this Sun and its' looking like about 40 and sunny. Yay.

Good on you Hank!
Glad to hear you're going make a little smoke! 

Help me out with that Pgh....
Hereabouts everybody says CDA for Couer d'Alene, but Pgh got me a bit bumfuzzled.
