Hello all,

Hey Jacob
Don't know if there's a problem with your form or it's just me.

I tried to register and fill out the form and towards the end of the form...I tried to hit "continue" ...it's not doing anything.

MORE SHOTS !!!!!

60 per day would be far more appealing due to the 650+ mile round trip !!

I'm trying to convince Jacob to let the Hunter class shoot two shots per target on 13 lanes day one and 12 lanes on day two, while the WFTF classes and Open if they want, (they could shoot two shots with Hunter class), will shoot one shot per target on the 25 lane course both days.

So, if you want to lobby Jacob you could shoot 60 shots both days in Hunter class by shooting lanes 1-15 day one and 11-25 day two, while WFTF class shoots one shot on 25 lanes both days....

This might complicate the GP scoring, but it can be done with their current formula. They will just have to calculate the Hunter class separately.

I'll be there doing hunter. I'd like to shoot 60 per day like we did at your place. I bought a gun for pistol, but I'm not sure I'll be ready for that in time.

I have changed the pistol to 60 shots.
The rifle will still be 100 shots one shot per.

Intended to host last year this way. This is supposed to be a worlds practice match,
and follows with my idea of how hunting and field style target shooting should be.
Have never been a fan of two shots per target in field style competition.

Any good shooter should make a follow up shot if they get a read on a first errant shot.
The greats will hit it first try and harvest the kill or point. ;)

We can have fun little side shoots the whole afternoon if you guys are itching to pull the trigger more?

Side shoots?

This brings back memories. Tacoma Rifle and Revolver club used to have a side shoot. The Quigley bucket side shoot.

it was $1 a shot at a Quigley size (scaled down...I think it was 1.75 inches) bucket at 55 yards. Off hand only, winner takes all the money.

The bucket target was just a modified FT target with no face plate.

Can't remember if they allowed scopes or open sights.

The only Quigley I know starred Tom Selleck. I'll look it up. Should be fun, whatever it is.

Here's a Quigley bucket shoot at a field target shoot?. ...Hope they allow scopes in Oregon...cos open sight with a Crosman challenger is gonna to be hard.

I was thinking we should use our field target rigs offhand at 55 yards. Maybe 10 shots for $10 or 20 shots for $20. Most hits wins 50% of the match fees, plus a $100 gift certificate, second 25% of match fees. 25% of match fee goes to the range fund. What do you think? We do have a peep sight Challenger we could all take turns with if everyone prefers. If we use that, then maybe the targets are set closer like 30 yards.

We have only had a few "smokey" days in the last month.

But, a fire started last Wed. on the freeway at the upper edge of our property. We saw the smoke and Randy and my Brother in law took off in the S10 little fire truck we put together and stopped it at our site in range and pistol course. But it it burned about 7 acres of our neighbors property by the time the fire dept and 3 helicopters got it out. Crews are still "mopping up" this morning.

We now have a nice fire break on the south side of the property and know the fire dept knows our property and our water sources for really quick defense of our property. I feel a lot better now. The real fire drill worked great:)

The weather today is switching to a low pressure and cooler days in the high 70s for the next week. Even rain next Wed.

Hopefully that will continue on into an early fall.

See you soon..

Wayne
