Well, I scored it myself for an 89. Not too sure if it was 89 or 90 so went with the lower number and you guys can figure
out if that was right or not. Thanks,

Haven't done a challenge yet, but I got farther this time. Actually printed out the turkey targets. Here's to hoping I can do some shooting over Thanksgiving break.
Good luck! We will be shootin our tragets at about the same time then. Think I'll be back round Monday, go shootin' on Tuesday.

'About' is the key word. I don't think we've ever both been in state at the same time, lol. For supposed PA residents, neither of us spends a hell of a lot of time there. We'll get there Wednesday and leave early Sunday.
We should link up this spring/summer. Wanna do an Appleseed shoot or something? Maybe @GOYABEAN would like to come too? And there is another couple of us too, never can remember who they are and I apologize for that.

So i procrastinated so long now it is hunting season and the ranges are all closed. I am a dumbass!
Went out today and finished the challenge
Official entry all required data is on the targets
PCC 74 points. Somehow I only shot 9 shots at the PCC target. (need to get better at counting bullets when putting them in the magazines I guess). There are only 2 eights on the target.
100 yard rifle 31 points cannot believe I missed the blueberry.

Today was a great day at the range, clear cold and crisp. After shooting the challenge I let a couple of teenager club members that were there shoot "Anubus" (my '06) out at 400 yards. Nothing like a couple of hours at the range on a cold day, poking holes in targets.
Finally got my printer working! Why do I need color ink when I'm printing in B/W? Will make copies at work tomorrow for the long weekend coming up.

Ha haha. That is why i use laser printers now.
10 more days to get your targets in.
I got a 4 day weekend! plenty of shooting planned!!
Next month I am doing a Snowman and Christmas cookies for targets.

Welp. No shooting for me. Starter in the Grand Cherokee died, which means we're not going out to PA because that's the only car that holds the kids, dogs, band instruments and other crap we drag with us. The only gun I have in NJ is the 1911, and I don't belong to any ranges here. Hubby is perfectly capable of replacing the starter, but all our tools are in PA. Grrr. I guess he'll take the Wrangler out on Friday, pick up his tools and jacks, then come back to NJ.
While he’s capable of doing the job, time is money. Calculating time for the trip out and back to pick up tools, gas etc may be worth just having it replaced locally.

We're still waiting to hear whether he's out of a job. We may have way more time than money coming up! Figure $60 for the gas and $50 for the part. He says something else needs to be moved (sorry, don't know what) before he can get to the starter. Not sure we could get it done here in Jersey for even close to $110. You can barely get an oil change for that, lol. (OK, ok - exaggerating, but you get the idea.) He may decide he'd rather take it in. Just bummed that I'll miss the challenge yet again.
This, my friends, is a good old fashion Podmonkey range day in the making. Headed out first thing tomorrow. Weather is sunny and mild.

So is this the new official “i suck so bad i missed the 8.5x11 paper target altogether” montra?
It could be that but, if you have to make an excuse why not go with one that is plausible. Another thing that sucked that day was my ability to see. After each shot I peeked at the target with my spotting scope and I failed to notice there were only 9holes in it because I was double counting one of the 9s as an 8.So is this the new official “i suck so bad i missed the 8.5x11 paper target altogether” montra?
That is a lot of ammo, you must be counting on a Turkey uprising.
Go big or go home: 1,000 rounds 223, 500 9mm + 100 rounds of left over Winchester white box 9mm. I printed off 60 turkey targets and I have 50+ of the SR1 targets.
My range days are just that, all day.
I usually only go through 150-500 rounds a range day (depending on what I bring). Spending 6-8 hours at a time on the range is great therapy.
If I were home for more than 3-5 days a month I'd pace myself more. I'd do pistols one trip, long guns another. I'd prefer that actually. As it is I have very limited opportunity to shoot and I really, really, really like shooting so I take all day. In fact, sending rounds down range is my second favorite thing to do of all.
