Greetings,

Merle,
If your talking about the Milsurps comp/shoot then its not on this year As the interest had dropped and only a handful of members were taking part, we (myself and Badger) may revive next year but need feedback from all involved for the best way to run it....... I thought adding the .22 may of brought a few more out of the woodwork ...... I contacted Badger at the beginning of the year and we both decided to give it a miss this year to see if there was still interest, your the only one to mention it so far...........
OK, that was the match I was referring to. Thanks for the feedback. :ugh:
No worries, you can still get out and shoot and post your range reports........ the shoot/comp was more of a comparison of different milsurps and what can be done etc, folks commitments can change that often (mine did) so didn't get the range time I normally had, one of the other reasons to stick the .22 comp in but that just fell flat on its face.....
OK, that still sounds like fun. Thanks! :beerchug:
Hopefully my health & transportation problems will be resolved & I can get out more often.
Just for the hell of it, I'll follow the rules of last years - just in case someone else wants to compare results.
I'll take you up on the offer Merle. Game on!!!!...:beer chug:
PM sent
well then, OK !!! :lol:
FYI... for anyone who wishes to partake. The target dimensions mentioned in the rules are the exact same as the common TQ-4 NRA 100yd small bore rifle target. If no one objects that's the target I'll be using.
Merle, I didn't measure prior to my PM, hope you don't mind I'm going with the TQ-4.

That was the idea...... If anyone else is using the target that WP mentions then post the results........Quote:

Looks like it will be an all Pennsylvania event anyway! - i just got a new house to play with so will get back to shooting cardboard when there is nothing left to paint, or there is no more paint ;)

I would find the NRA target rather easier to use, myself. But have not done much rifle shooting lately, and even less off the bench. messed up my neck and shoulder whilst out squirreling late Feb, and have had a hard time since shooting handguns, much less long guns. But just threw money at a reasonably correct Winchester Garand, so hoping the chiropractor finishes up before too much longer! New experience, that.
