Post by: dmarsh on May 01, 2025, 03:31:02 PM: Not sure if I will be shooting anytime soon. A couple weeks back I had an arthritis event I will call it in my right arm and hand. Right-handed no less. Anyway, I can't even bend my fingers or hold much of anything in my right hand. In addition, my oldest daughter (51) has to have emergency back surgery next week, so we get the grandson and become soccer moms as he plays on two travel teams. They own a wine shop. Getting good employees is a nightmare so he can't cover a lot of the goings on as he needs to take care of the shop. Oh, and her surgery is in NYC which is 3 hours from here so we trying to plan this mess out. Sorry for the long tail of woe. Would have been loner but I type left only right now. ;banghead; :pray:

Post by: No Powder on May 01, 2025, 08:15:11 PM: Sorry to hear of those unfortunate things happening to you and your family. Hoping thoughts and prayers will help in figuring everything out and a healing to your condition . Along with successful surgery for your daughter. :pray:

Post by: No Powder on May 01, 2025, 10:05:30 PM: Now you've got me cornfused. I thought mine was alright.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Winter Hawk on May 03, 2025, 10:15:58 PM: Well Dave, I'm getting there with pain in the right hand. Not incapacitating, but it's there so opening screw top jars and bottles is getting challenging. Not sure if it's old Arthur sneaking up on me, or if it's Carpel Tunnel Syndrome from all the texting I seem to be doing on my flip phone. Hang in there pal. Think of yourself as being a survivor!

Getting old ain't for sissies as my old man used to say....

Post by: KDubs on May 07, 2025, 06:24:01 AM: I guess I'll say it here, due to my extended trip back east and RDV at the end of the month, I don't think I'll be able to shoot the may targets.
I know never say never.

Post by: No Powder on May 07, 2025, 08:35:47 AM: Will you be flying again this year? I need to find out so I know whether to look up for you or not. And will miss you shooting the postals. Just like Dave and anybody who can't participate.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Salty on May 08, 2025, 07:07:02 AM: Not as good as last month but not too bad either. Shooters fault. Gonna need to have a talk with him.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: KDubs on May 08, 2025, 07:45:26 AM: Well Tom there ain't no way I'm flying this year, crazy up there.( Down there too)
No the misses and I are driving.
19 days to get from Coeur D' Alene to Windom Minnesota, Detroit Michigan, then buffalo and Syracuse NY.
That should leave me one, yes one day back home in Idaho before I pack up and run to Cyr Montana for RDV
Taking 2 days each leg with a day or so at each port.
Hoping to see some sights on the way.
Avoiding I-90 as much as possible.
I'm sure it'll be an experience but it beats working.

Post by: Paulk on May 16, 2025, 10:59:45 AM: Nessmuk, I shot my target with my .62 cal Fusil De Chasse smoothbore, 25 yds, offhand. Always seems to be one that gets away. [ Invalid Attachment ]
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: No Powder on May 16, 2025, 11:20:16 AM: Nice shooting buddy. I bet you felt a whole lot better about your target than I did about mine.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Paulk on May 16, 2025, 11:50:27 AM: Thanks. I haven’t shot the smoothbore in quite a while so I was pleased with how it went. Looks like you got me beat though.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: No Powder on May 16, 2025, 05:34:54 PM: Well Paulk, I could live with my bullseye target. But that fun target had me disappointed pretty badly. Especially those last 2 shots at the bottom of the target. I shot about 6 shots before shooting that one, and I think I was weakening. I think I cold use a little spinach. But I can't rule out putting some down the barrel of the Renegade too. And I didn't even shoot the long range target, trying to preserve a little strength.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Paulk on May 16, 2025, 05:58:32 PM: No Powder, I haven’t tried that. I’ll have to dust off a rifled gun and give it a shot. Are you shooting at the 100 yd scaled down target?
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: No Powder on May 16, 2025, 06:12:27 PM: Yes I am. That's the long range target I was referring to in my post. I hit it on the 6th of this month and posted a picture on the forum. Used the same Renegade that I shot this months targets. Try it you'll like it. (If you hit it.) :bigsmile:

Post by: Winter Hawk on May 23, 2025, 09:54:47 PM: No Powder the 2nd here....

It was lovely weather this morning with the threat of rain in the afternoon. I grabbed the Shenandoah rifle, targets, cardboard backer, spotting scope and shooting bag, left a note for my Sweetie that I was going to shoot my May targets and headed out the door. I drove the half hour to the range. Got signed in and put up the Bravo flag. Stuck a square of black Duck Tape on a paper plate and stapled that to the belting where targets are supposed to. Took the rifle out of its sheath and prepared to load.

"What, no powder horn?" ;banghead;

Yes indeedy, I had everything except powder! I may have to change my handle from Winter Hawk to No Powder 2! :luff: :laffing :lol sign

And that was the end of my shooting for today.

Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: No Powder on May 24, 2025, 06:32:25 AM: Well Kees, I've been looking for your targets. Especially with a low turnout this month. So I'm sorry for your misfortune but, look at it this way, my post on the 16th was the last post. So you created several more posts on this thread. I sincerely hope you'll have another opportunity before the end of the month. Our poor NMD (Nessmuk) may soon be headed to the Bureau of Unemployment Security.

Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Winter Hawk on May 29, 2025, 04:53:39 PM: Went out this morning and got 'er done, using the Traditions Shenandoah rifle. First time ever I have shot it, took three sighter shots off the bench at 25 yards and was very satisfied; two were in one hole, and the last was an inch & a half high. Then I stood on my hind legs and did this:

Post by: RedOneFive on May 31, 2025, 02:38:18 PM: I didn't get out in April, so I shot it with my May target (I forgot to grab the fun target off the printer so it's just the bullseye for May for me)... I posted those in the April thread its fine that they don't count, I just wanted to get caught up.
Here's my May target though!

Post by: No Powder on May 31, 2025, 03:45:52 PM: Another great target. Was that offhand or supported Joe?
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: RedOneFive on May 31, 2025, 06:33:54 PM: This was all offhand today. This little 45 that I bought of Marty's goes exactly where you point it. 50gr ffg and prb!
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: No Powder on May 31, 2025, 07:08:13 PM: Joe always turned in good scores in the postal and silhouette matches. More than likely he used that particular smokepole to shoot some of those. I think it found a good home.

Post by: Winter Hawk on June 01, 2025, 02:59:40 PM: Another lovely target! :hairy
Way to squeak in under the wire; I thought I was the only one to do that. :lol sign

Post by: No Powder on June 01, 2025, 04:39:20 PM: Kees, I thought for sure you were going to have the highest score for May. Good show ole chap. Do that again this month and see what happens.
Title: Re: 2025 April Match results and May Targets
Post by: Winter Hawk on June 02, 2025, 09:28:17 PM: I'll try! I may take a little more off the comb of the Shenandoah, towards the front. It do whack my cheek when shooting off the bench.
