2023 TMA Postal Shoots??

[Uncle Russ]

Nessmuk seez; ............"Yes, I'm the fool who volunteered to run the 2023 Postal Match. Traditionally, we have the Matches from April  to October, no change this year."

Well, this is just a personal observation so take it for what it's worth.....

I "Personally" think the TMA could use a whole big truckload of "Fools" much like this guy Nessmuk!
After all, he is one of those guys who will take the Bull by the Horn and get the job done.
He's one of those everyday folks who say there's a job to be done, and I will take it on.
He ain't afraid to get his hands dirty, put in a little extra time, or afraid he's going to hurt someone else's feelings because it didn't happen the way they wanted it to...the way they would've, could've, should've ....you get the message!

Personally, I like all my "Fools" to be just like this guy Nessmuk, and I think you will too.
He's got this! Turn him loose, let him run, and you and I run with him!

Flintlock and Caplock Shooters possess one undeniable trait. They are a part of a Brotherhood that numbers in the thousands. They are a part of a Team, a team that works together and plays together, for the future of our sport. Nothing could be better, IMHO.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. It is important that we realize these things.

Uncle Russ said it all. But I would like to say this. I know Nessmuk  will do a fine job. I think he has two very large pairs of shoes to fill . I've shot under two great NMDs. That would be Ohio Joe and Biliff. All the rest were great and very much appreciated. I corresponded with Joe and Bill quite a bit and hope to do likewise with Nessmuk. Go get em Nussmuk.


I'm almost sure Biliff did it for 4 or 5 years, but Joe ,you will have to tell me how many years you were NMD.

[Ohio Joe]

Thanks for the kind words, Tom. 

You know, I really don't know for sure how long I did the NMD duties, but it was my pleasure to do it. I know that many members (like yourself) looked (and look) forward to them, so I always tried to make them interesting (as have the other NMD's).

I do look forward to Nessmuk's shooting program. I like his take on the kind of targets that will be used. After all, who doesn't like a good Novelty target! With this said, I can't say for certain I'll be able to take part in the Matches, as I don't know what targets will be used? (my printer gave up years ago and I have no plans to replace it). However, if it's one of our TMA target that I might still have a copy of, I'm in... 

Anyway, I hope we can all support Nessmuk's efforts as best we can.

NMD?  Forgive me, but what is that?

NATIONAL MATCH DIRECTOR     Without them we probably we would not have a postal match.

Billif, now theres a blast from the past!

[Winter Hawk]

Ah, I see.  No guarantee that it will be fixed in my memory banks when next encountered, though!

Mark I know you're not posting any April results until the end of the month. But could you tell us if anyone has even attempted it yet ?

[Nessmuk]

No one has posted a Target yet. however, several have printed targets.

 When I get back I promise I will mow the lawn.

This old boy is planning on it in the near future (this month), but have been waiting for the wind to die down to less than 25mph so I can adjust sights on two rifles for this fun.  A new flinter that I have been working on the lock, but never shot and my old standby caplock.  Both are Lyman GPR,

Thanks for supplying the opportunity for some fun.

23 days to go in April and I'm hoping everybody's weather improves (mine included).!!  Positive Thoughts, gentlemen, Rascals, Scalawags,etc al.

[Ohio Joe]

Nessmuk, we're getting closer to the mud stage of this weather here, so there's always hope! Snow is still melting...
