Geeze. I decided it was time to break the drought and shoot a little yesterday. Got all set up and discovered I'd left the targets back home. Set up something else to shoot. Discovered I'd grabbed an empty powder horn. Filled that from a spare can in the shooting box and discovered I'd grabbed a bag of .490 balls for my 58 caliber. Threw up my arms and went home to vacuum like my wife asked.

Is keyboard shooting allowed in this match? :rotf:

Oh god, hope thats not contagious! :shocked2:

You can expect to receive my target right before the deadline, as I'm going to use my daughter's new rifle, which isn't quite done yet. I figure while I'm sighting it in, I might as well use it for the competition. I think it's way too short for me to shoot off hand, but I think I can shoot it from a bench rest position. Using a rest is acceptable for this competition, right? Bill
