Announcement!!

Due to a computer/Email problem start of the Postal has been delayed.

My Email provider decided to sell-off/Pawn-off his Email service to another provider on 1 april, needless to say it hasn't worked so far.

I should have everything back up by COB today,

when it rains, it pours!!

Apologies to all!

I would guess that COB means close of business.  :bigsmile:

To me COB, as in "on the ... " means one way to enjoy corn.

Hey Mark. When we shot this target last year, shots outside of the x were -5 points. Is it the same this year?

Raining here most of last week.
 Working three days then off to Libby Montana for rendezvous.
 I'll shoot my targets next week.
