Thanks for the post Haz... I missed it last year due to not having a friggin' dime to spare, but I'm hoping to show you all one, single 45 hole with 4 little chips out of the edges. Then you will know the wrath of Bluebone.

I didnt get to do this last time,
Thinking I might give it a go.
If your up for some competition from down under that is 


What say you Philw, time to put up!

As self-proclaimed Grand Master Class of the Gunman1911 Postal Match - and overall pompous booty, I hear-by throw down the gauntlet.  If all goes well, I should start my competition today with class 4A and 4B.

TARGET WILL BE POSTED, so I can brag and you can droll.   Keyboard replacements are NOT provided.





Seriously folks, what other forum do you know that raises money for good causes by hosting a match among members?  Even if you don't want to shoot, or can't or whatever, drop a couple dollars bills in an envelope to Teresa for the Gunman1911 charity fund.

+10 on that, Alf.


And in the words of Ranger Capt. Augustus McCrae: "You boys get ready to shed a tear, too."
