Just received Roger's entry at noon today - 1/2 hour ago = postmarked 13 June. Guess that's why they call it Snail-Mail. That's 4 entries but the prizes will be smal without more entries. The cash sent in is sent back to the first 3 plus the closest to the centre, same as last year. Com-on guys - send in the entries.

Yes, Barbara's sister lives in Gracefield Quebec and says the mail service there is awful!~

Daryl,
No doubt your poor turnout is due to the fact that most people do not shoot chunks, they blow them. Well, with the exception of the heavy beer drinkers who often shoot them thru their nose.

Daryl,
The end of August works for me. The Doc scheduled me for cataract surgery the 28th of July and the 3rd of August just today. With a little luck I'll be able to get a few shots in before the end of the month.

If ya don't mind go ahead and send the targets out. I never know for sure when I can get a weekend to shoot and would hate to miss a chance.

Daryl · « **Reply #54 on:** July 03, 2009, 02:39:52 PM »

Yes - I can send out the match targets this week to cover just such a situation. They are the same as last year, merely a download from targetz.com to make practise easy.

TOF - chunk guns are not allowed as per the rules - hunting/trail rifles only. Last year we had a good turnout. 16 entries.

Daryl · « **Reply #55 on:** July 17, 2009, 05:52:17 PM »

Mark H. & Brian J. - received your entries. I'll try to get all targets out for those entered, today.

Dave B · « **Reply #56 on:** July 24, 2009, 09:08:45 AM »

Daryl,
I just got my targets in the mail today. Thanks for putting this on for us few determined "chunk wanna bee's". Actually that sounds like one of those critters that hops around with stuff in a front pouch.

I am going to get to practicing this week end. Good luck to you guy's.

Brian Jordan · « **Reply #57 on:** July 25, 2009, 05:09:41 AM »

I received my targets this week also, Thanks Daryl!

Scott Bumpus · « **Reply #58 on:** July 25, 2009, 10:42:55 PM »

The targets came today. thanks daryl

Colonial Riflesmith · « **Reply #59 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:07:49 PM »

Perhaps I missed it when I read the posts. When and where is the shoot?
Or, did I miss that too.

Daryl · « **Reply #60 on:** August 09, 2009, 03:57:25 PM »

CR - it's a bit late now. Go back to the start of this thread - should be some answers there. Hopefully, there will be more interest next year. If you want to mail me some $ - I'll send your targets out this week. You can download the scoring target, along with a spotter you can see well, and practise if you want in the meantime.

Dave Marsh · « **Reply #61 on:** August 10, 2009, 10:22:27 PM »

Daryl, my targets are on the way. Not a stellar performance again but fun to try. I did not get much practice in due to work -- I need to retire as this work stuff really messes up the fun part of life.......

Colonial Riflesmith · « **Reply #62 on:** August 11, 2009, 10:31:26 AM »

DM, ain't that the truth. As I always say, "a bad day shootin' is better than a good day at work".

smokinbuck · « **Reply #63 on:** August 15, 2009, 11:53:35 PM »

Daryl,
My targets will be in the mail Monday. Got out today and shot the first shots for record since last year's ALR chunk shoot. Had back surgery in February and cataract surgery , on both eyes, 3 weeks ago. Don't have my new glasses yet but gave it a try. Not as good as last year but just as much fun.
Mark

Daryl · « **Reply #64 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:18:30 PM »

tks, guys - have Roger's and Mark's targets in hand. No coments yet.

smokinbuck · « **Reply #65 on:** August 20, 2009, 12:11:59 AM »

Daryl,
Just wondering if the snail mail arrived yet?
Mark

Daryl · « **Reply #66 on:** August 20, 2009, 05:10:21 PM »

Dave's and Roger's only.

Brian Jordan · « **Reply #67 on:** August 28, 2009, 03:20:48 AM »

I didn't think I was going to make this shoot this time, but I got to the range today and shoot my targets. I hope they get to you in time Daryl!! I will put them in the mail in the morning. This was alot of fun...alot of getting up, and down, and a lot of walking, but I had a blast doing it. Not sure where I will score, but I had fun!!

Daryl · « **Reply #68 on:** September 08, 2009, 08:14:44 PM »

got your targets, melsdad - I'll get them all scored this week.

Sounds good. How many folks are entered so far?

VtBlackdog · « **Reply #70 on:** September 09, 2009, 07:22:04 AM »

probably a dumb question....

what would be a good (average) sized group for this?

(new to the sport

)

Brian Jordan · « **Reply #71 on:** September 09, 2009, 07:50:49 AM »

Not a dumb question, but I would say 2 holes touching each other as close to the bull as possible.

VtBlackdog · « **Reply #72 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:01:04 PM »

how about for a half-blind old fat guy?

If a modern deer rifle is should shoot inside four inches at 100, how about a BP gun at 50 shot chunk style? How big a group is really awful?

Gotta be under an inch average or your in serious trouble at 50 yds
