Friends, I apologize for my absence. I've been travelling to my cabin in the Adirondack mountains. it took 3 days by car from Oklahoma, I only drive 8 hours a day, daylight only. I've found the internet service up here in the mountains has gone from poor to sketchy.

Salty asked if shooters could post their targets rather than email them, PLEASE POST YOUR OWN Targets!!!!!!

Wonderful idea, Salty, Thanks much.
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Dedicated to the TMA.

Glad you got home safely. Hope you have many more safe trips. I sent you an e-mail concerning a possible scoring issue. Did you by any chance receive it? If you did, ok. If not disregard it.

Could be better. Those little buggers were hard to see.

Now that's what I'm talking about. They were harder to see than I thought they would be. What gun did you use?

 Ginger , My .54 kibler.
 Maybe I should get the ol TC out and see what she'll do .
 Can't explain it but I'm just more drawn to shooting that flinter.
 Side note, I tried shooting my .62 Fowler again with 60-75 grs and still get smacked in the face.  Time to sell her me thinks.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED!!!!  Was going to start a new thread, but it has to do with postal shoots. Go to page 6 on the postal shoot thread . That was before I knew about this high tech crap. Look at the fun these guys were having chewing the fat about their shooting. Whether it was good ,bad, or otherwise. I really liked the one from Two Steps wearing floaties and fins while shooting  (June comments about our June 2017 sillywet targets). Great stuff. If history repeats itself, as far as the postal shoots, when is it gonna happen? Sorry for ramping and raving. I'm through now.

Looks like a 50-3X to me!  Nice shooting, wish i could do something like that.   :toast  :bow  :toast

I hope to get out this week, maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky, and shoot my targets for June....

Well in true fashion for me I imagine these won't count, but here they are anyways..
 I had big plans for us to go shoot after I got off work, then it rained all day so I didn't print targets at work. Then I got home and it let up, so we loaded up some guns.. I ran downstairs to print targets, and the printer wouldn't work. I remember seeing some tma targets in the stuff I had bought of Marty's, so I dig around really quick and found these.. They aren't this years, but we headed out anyways.
The kids ran steel with 22s for a while then momma and I busted out the muzzleloader.
Lo and behold here comes ole reliable Nebraska wind.
My cold bore shot was the the revolutionary challenge and I was quite a ways high... Then her and I each shot our 5 shots for the targets..
I was pretty pleased with how it went.. I had her load her own shots so she'll be in better practice for club meets as well.
Anyhow, here's our targets. Count or not, up to yall. I may have to wait until July to try again. This month is a lot of baseball and swim meets ahead of us.

RedOneFive, looks like a 46-2X to me, if the target will be accepted!  Sounds like a great afternoon anyway.  :yessir:

I see no issues with those targets.
 It's a fun shoot after all.
