In the mail soon, boys.

 

[Tracy]

Sent you a pm.

 

[Skychief]

Jethro and all, Jess and I are throwing ourselves into this fray.

He's on the smoothy and I'll be shootin' a rifle-gun. :hmm:

We intend to take no prisoners, ain't that right Jess? :haha:

Best regards, Skychief

 

[jethro224]

Awesome! Now we just need to get eggwelder set up with another Canadian shooter and it'll be an International match. :thumbsup:

Yep. Brit and I have buried the 200 year old hatchet. Got his target today, mailing them both to Jethro in the morning.

 

[jethro224]

B.

Oh, yeah. I forgot. :redface:
:idunno: I'm gettin' old.

 

[Britsmoothy]

[Ames]

I'm sure he has a yardstick. :haha: :rotf:

 

[jethro224]

Heck, I've got a tape measure. :wink:

 

[MDK_WV]

I think I figured out my problem, the new patches were causing the round balls to have an allergic reaction to the center of the target. :grin:

 

[jethro224]

:haha: Just when I thought I'd heard every excuse in the book... you add a chapter. :haha:

March and April are bad months for me. I'm the Throw Events Track & Field coach for Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. :v Practice every day until dark, Rain or shine. Track meets EVERY Saturday, and with the family having some difficult times, my Sundays and other free time is no longer my free time. :cursing: So, I'm sitting out this months shoot for sure and maybe April. :surrender: Hopefully I can get the smooth rifle finished and ready in April. :idunno: Have fun guys.

 

[jethro224]

I'm picturing the Track team throwing hawks and knives.

Jethro, is an aiming spot allowed or are we to shoot at an unmarked sheet?

Aiming spots are allowed.

Wouldn't the aiming spot be the formed X? If you're saying someone could superimpose a 2" square block or round bullseye at the center of the X ... that should have been the rule from Day 1 ... just saying ...

 

[Maven]

Jethro has always allowed "aiming spots," but you either just pasted them on your paper (a fait accompli) or asked in advance. In either case, as long as they were perfectly centered, there was no problem that I've encountered.*


*Given the poor/odd lighting at our range, the corner to corner X is almost impossible to see. Blue painter's tape helped some, but a 1" day glow orange dot works much better although it's by no means a slam dunk.

 

[Ames]

Come to think of it, you could stick the aiming spot 12" to the left if you think it would help you. Depends how bad the wind is blowin. Whatever works.
