Ah Tom, as an old party chief of mine said, many years ago, "it's a poor workman who blames his tool...."

Of course we were discussing something entirely different but still.   ;D ;D ;D

Don't ask what the topic was, this is a family oriented website!

Tried again today Kees, using the same gun. Failed miserably. Still think I need to change guns.

Glad to see some of us are still poking away at it
 I think I'll head over to the dollar store in the next day or two and pick up some poster board for this year's competition.
Might need one of them fancy deer targets too, I like that idea!

You got me thinking about that target Kevin. I've had that for years. I'm gonna have to find out what a new one would cost these days. That gives me a reason to go to the sport shop. That's not good.

Tom, see if they have a poster of the broad side of a barn. Maybe I can hit that.
