Hey DD, why don't you post your targets, so I'll have an idea of what I've got to better. :) ;D :D

I ordered a bunch of fuse from"CannonFuse" Tues., so I should be getting it this coming week. That's the first time that I've ordered from them, I figured I'd give the 'Montana Boys' home state some business. Anyway, to the point: On the last page, when you're finishing up on your order, there's a box that asks where you heard about their company, and one of the choices is "Graybeard", so anyone ordering from this outfit should remember to let them know where we're coming from.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

Here is the Cut  Bank Sportsman's association  Blog.  It opens with  video of use shooting  the SAMCC Postal shoot.

I talked to Southpaw a little bit ago.  I am headed up to his place next weekend to shoot my postal.

Southpaw is having surgery this week, and will have his arm in a sling and I will entertain him.

How about extending the postmark date to the eighth instead of the first?

Done!!!

It was 95 degrees in Cut Bank yesterday perfect cannon shooting weather, since the snow isn't flying  no reason to not shoot cannons.

Keith and  Cannoneer-John get  busy...Rocklock and Tracy, you didn't turn you target in at the Cannon shoot get them in the mail..how about the rest of you get them in the mall....Dom you proved that little Dalghren can shoot.  Wanna sell some guns, get your targets in.


Deadline Extended!!!


NOTE:  Shoot starts March 1 and ends midnight Sunday September 25, 2011 October 8.  Postmark no later than October 1, 2011 October 15th, 2011.

That's great, now I'll be able to get to the range next weekend, instead of having to rush there after work on a weekday. It never fails, I got rained out yesterday, and then again today.

      Double D.,  Mike's name was on the two targets he fired at the Montana Shoot.  We had one cannon that met the criteria, so you will not find a separate entry for me or Gary.  I am far too busy lately to do anything extra, so you will not see anything in the mail from me.  I just got a call from Gary and he says the same goes for him.  We sure had fun at the shoot, though and we frequently discuss ways to do in the Fort.

Tracy
Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

From the poem  Screw-Guns  by Rudyard Kipling

Tracy

Tracy all you had to do was get two shots on each target in the scoring rings and with your  handicap from last year you would have been the champion!
