Sorry to hear of your medical situation, Paul. Best wishes in 2022.

Well then, congratulations, Alacran. We (here in the much frozen North) hope to be able to "make" the January shoot.

Ok, I won this match by default. Hard to lose when no one else competes.
I have been giving it some thought. Those living above the 49th parallel, and those close below it have a hard time just living.
Shooting time becomes a luxury. I propose we hold January's match in conjunction with February.
Considering how little participation December's match garnered this proposal will give more flexibility, for those wanting to shoot.
So, if I do not get a howling negative response, this will be the format.
I will decide on a target by tomorrow.

I'm not following what "in conjunction" matches would accomplish. It's not like we're gathering annual points totals. Being firmly in the temperate zone I have no idea which month will bring the rains or the ice-storm/frigidity that would ruin my weekend opportunities to shoot. With DST there's just no light at the end of our work days for any chance of evening shooting.

But I'm not in opposition to any sort of attempt to increase participation. I'm afraid that those folks who have local shoots with regularity won't be shooting "postal" matches when their local matches start back up. I don't have such luxury.  I may even get a printer.

Alacran: it don't matter much to me either way but it looks like me and you, Wade and Daryl. Let's see if we can get one or two more and make it a January shoot. But hey you're the match director this month do what strikes your fancy.

Long range forecast has some mild weather starting 10th January. Not sure we can trust that, but whatever "works", works for us too.

no no, no one bother to mail me targets.  It was simply a complication because I didn't think ahead to get them printed out at work during the week and then ONE day presented itself I and I just couldn't bring myself to drive to work and bother the boss on the off day for targets. That would have consumed way too much of the shooting light.  Thanks for thinkin' of me all the same.
