Well I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud...but ........would that be fair for those that got out and shot and sent them in on time? I mean what's the point of setting a deadline if noone wants to follow it?

Stiill...with the parie dog shoot coming up. and all the preperation a lot of you guys have been going thru.....I can understand the time restraints...so even though I voted no...what the heck...why not just make it by the 4th of July...

I say end this one as it was set up. And get the next one going for October 1st deadline.
  If you wait on procrastinators, then you will be one.

 Remember, time is what you take. Not make.

 Good luck to all the shooters. It would be nice for more to get in on the PM's and find out how much it helps you to be a good shot for those critical times in the field.

I don't intend on entering this match, just posted the poll because Varminter, Igall and Mitchell brought it up in another thread, I thought it only fair to allow everyone to voice their opinion on the matter.

I don't have a problem with it...heck... the vacation season...the prarie dog shoot...family commitments...crappy weather...or waiting to get your equipment in...all are good reasons for the delay...and it will give mitchell more time to score the cards...if it is delayed...I might even get a chance to send in a card for my 243...so...it's up to you all...

I voted "yes".  I had every intention of participating in the match, but the weather has been very poor all spring.  That's not to say that it will get better, but extending the match may give me and others an opportunity to participate.  

Examples of targets that some guys have posted are pretty darn impressive.  If I had the opportunity to submit a target I don't know if it would be very competetive, but it would be fun to give it a try.

I also like mag41vance's suggestion of begining another one.  It could  start after the extention ended, if not to much trouble.

If the date stands and a second match is not conducted, then there's always next year.

Thank you
