Did it cool down any for you to shoot those targets? I sure hope so.

No not really.
 Still hitting 90+ all week.
 Wind was blowing today, sand getting kicked up.
 Things were going good until I got stung on my right hip by what felt like a hornet. I know what that feels like
 I was just pulling the trigger when the sucker struck.
 Anyway if not for the bees I would have stayed and shot my pistol.

My problem is rain.  One to two inches coming today so the revolutionary challenge may be out for me as our 100-yard target is on the other side of the creek which is roaring and impossible to get across.  Will take a number of days for it to get low enough to cross again.  Years ago, we blew the engine in a jeep pickup crossing it and dunking it too deep.  We'll see.

Is driving through it the only way you have to cross over?

Yep.  Only way across.  We made a foot bridge once and that survived in the creek for about a year or so.  Usually it is easily passable with a 4-wheeler however so far this year has not been usual.

Don't know.  I am about 150 miles SE of Lowville.  I am on the Penciltuckey border.

My bad, Dave, I thought you were from OSwego not Owego.

No problem.  Happens all the time.  Once when I was coming back through customs into the US on a business trip from Toronto they argued with me that it was Oswego and not Owego and that my license was wrong.  That was interesting. :lol sign

That's some good shooting, fellows!  :bow  I've been getting some of the yard & household chores out of the way here so haven't had the chance this month to get out to the range - yet.  We'll see how next week works out.   :hairy

Now how did you shoot that in July, before the target was even posted by Nessmuk?   :o   :bigsmile:

Haha, I can't believe I did that.  And I did the same thing on the bullseye target.🤔 I'm not sure Kees, but I'm thinking it's tied in with this GOLDEN YEARS stuff. Both targets were shot the same day, I think, pretty sure, oh brother.
