    Hello from Oregon

    Hi. Another PA welcome to you, Calvary Joe. You're doing it right. Start at the current level of firearm development and work back to the beginning. At this level there is a curve to learning you figure out how to navigate it. Then, you wonder why you just didn't start here, and call it home...

    Traditional Pennsylvania hunt in the late season - anyone?

    First 2 pics are bird hunts in PA in February at Warriors Mark hunting Preserve with my friend Phil Urban and his put-them-upper pal Bella, I believe. Any PA ML hunt other than the Late ML season requires Flo Orange to be worn at all times. The below pic is a 1990's (Approx) Late ML season...

    September Online Postal Match

    Thanks for the comments Mav and Ames. I seem to let the age creep in and handicap me. I was stacking 40ct, 16 oz drinking water cases in the garage on Oct 6th. I was heaving the 7th case up when the right hand end strap broke and twisted the left side. I sprained the left wrist well enough that...

    April 2022 Postal Match

    Most of my shots are low and/or left. I must be pulling the for-end back to the shoulder. Now that I'm going to be getting to the range (Hopefully) a bit more.

    I finally got it shot @ 5:20PM on 4-29-22. Teenage grandkids take more time raising than their parents did, but just as enjoyable. It makes finding my free time harder to find.

    Well, after about a 2 year MIA period, I got the shoulders, wrist and hip (somewhat OK) squared to acceptable use (OK by Docs), Family situations back in normal mode and decently sailing along; i'm feeling like " I'M BACK".
