I am interested in doing this next spring. Are the targets the same as or enough similar to some NRA targets that could be bought at a sporting goods store? I don't have a printer - although I would get one if needed. I'm not very computer literate and I'm not sure if I would know how to take a picture of the target after I put 5 (I hope) holes in it either.
I know it's sort of early to be talking about this, just wishing spring was here I guess. Thanks

Jim, I believe Nessmuk was willing to mail print copies of the targets to those folks who can't print them out themselves. By the same token, I think he would accept getting the shot targets mailed to him although he does disappear into the hinterlands at times during the summer. The pony express may not find him in time....
Otherwise I will help by mailing them to you and scanning them in after you shoot them and return same to me.

Thanks, I might have to take you up on that - but I'll work on getting a printer and learning more about this kind of thing. I have sort of resisted all this computer related stuff - I'm fighting a loosing battle and slowly realizing it.
That contest sounds like fun and would give me a reason to mess around with my guns. I have a dirt hill in the back yard and can set up at 25 or 50 yards easy enough.

Yes, Jim, I will mail you targets if you PM me the address.

Yes, unfortunately the world has long gone digital and those left in its wake struggle almost daily. I can commiserate!
Worse yet is the fast approaching "world of AI" - that's already becoming a nightmare!
Anyhoo, I think you'll enjoy the TMA Postal Shoot and good on the folks offering target printing assistance!
