I assume there is a bowling pin matching tonight.

Guys, the last time we all discussed this match in person it was agreed on "any rifle or pistol, any optic, seated, kneeling, standing, or prone as long as it is .22LR, 10-rounds per load (magazine) maximum, and it is 50 yards." I added in consultation with JD, that the pin tops will be on a railroad crosstie and they need to fall over, not be knocked completely off the tie.

I don't remember the any position discussion. I thought we were discussing standing offhand. Thats why I said it earlier. If you go any other position - will you allow rests, bipods, lead sleds, other fixed and or gyroscopicially stablized mounts? Are you going to match up pistols against rifles? My view on this (your mileage will vary) was that we were going to test the skill of the shooter not the expense of the equipment. There is nothing like shooting offhand to test your metal. It is the great equalizer since few people practice it. Jim

I still vote for all positions but no lead sleds, etc. standing kneeling sitting and prone.

Jim, you missed the following weeks discussion.

The attempt was to make it more inclusive. You know some of the old farts shake like a leaf (including me).

It was my personal thought that the time lost moving rests, restabilizing gyroscopes, from pin top to pin top would more than likely offset any advantage in using them to compete against a shooter who chose an unsupported standing position (or the like).

But - and I really mean this - it don't matter to me if I personally like the match or not. This is all about you guys. Like I said earlier; you guys workout an alternative complete plan and I'll run it that way.

. . and enjoy the seemingly inevitable fistfight you all get into during the process.

Me and Doc already got a side match . . . . for the side match.

Hopefully I'll have time to sight my shit at 200 prior to the match. However I'll damn sure show and shoot sir. I love that shit. Long range with the .22 is a blast to me.

Without a lab coat that is just an estimate

The starrett steel rule requires no lab coat.

Military precision:

Measure with a mic

Mark it with chalk

Cut it with an axe

Mmmm..... Consider them measured, they are about 5 1/2" tall, a few inches taller than you. No lab coat required.

Damn it Doc.

At least answer ONE of the questions.

How much do they weigh Doc?

Did the .22s penetrate and stay in?

You miss my point. Some of us like watching you old folks shake... And its about the most excitement you guys get being as old as you are... Short of popping the little blue pill, but then you couldn't shoot prone anyway. Well, maybe it wouldnt make a difference with you guys anyway.

Battery in the scale is low and apparently it DOESN'T work without a lab coat. I'll try to pick up a battery tomorrow and stop by Walter Whites for a lab coat so you can adjust your rim fire hand loads accordingly
