Nessmuk, is it 5 shots, one per circle?
Looks like fun.
I’m gonna miss shooting your target during the mild winter weather here in south Texas.
My favorite time of the year. Guess I’ll practice for next year.
Thanks Nessmuk for keeping this going. I do enjoy your challenging targets.

Thanks, Salty. I love doing this. In answer to your question, just 1 shot per circle. 5 per would be just too hard to score!!
I've got all winter to come up with new and Improved  old targets.

Just so I don't forget to do this later on, I'd like to thank Mark for having these shoots. Salty was right, it will be difficult to quit going to the range to shoot the postals. But when the temps here in PA. are in the teens or less, it will make it a little easier.

I noticed that the latest member is mountainman. And I have a sneaking suspicion that with a little encouragement, he might be convinced to become a postal shoot participant. And I'll try to help him any way I can, to try and make that happen. I know for a fact, that he builds some nice rifles and he knows how to shoot them well.

Well looks like I won't get a chance to shoot with y'all this month.
 It's been a doozy.
 Lost my older brother ( by 3 yrs) on Oct 12th , sudden illness, he lived with me for close to 20 yrs and spent his last few years here in Coeur d alene at a local nursing home.
  I was diagnosed with a blood cancer at the beginning of the month.
 So lotsa doctor appointments, 3 this week alone.
 I'm doing fine , on some new meds. 
 So as you can see my plate is full this month..
 Thanks in advance for the prayers, I know there coming.

It's very difficult to find the right words to say at a time like this. But we must try. I'm terribly sorry for your loss, and you're right about prayers going out for your family. Will be praying for your healing and strength to get through this difficult time.  :pray:

Very sorry to hear the news, Kevin. While it's easy to say, but hard to do, keep in mind that his suffering is ended. Knowing that makes the grieving a little bit easier.

I was hoping to turn in a better score but this is it. Once again, NoPowder Tom is a hard act to follow.
