Good morning! I am looking out the window at 18 inches of fresh snow which can only mean one thing. I am home from Florida and it is time to get this show on the road. Ken and I have not worked out all of the logistics yet so I will give you a rough framework today and we will fill in details over the next week.

First I do have several names of prospective participants already. I will post them later today along with any information I still need to get enrollment forms out to each of you.

We will do a posting of rules soon. Right now we expect to change little if anything from last year.

The signup process will be:

Let me know you want to participate - I (Jim) will need your address and email.

2 weeks from now we will mail signup forms to everyone.

When we receive the completed forms and $5 per rifle, we will mail targets (2 practice and 1 record per gun) to each of you.

Shoot the targets and return them by May 15 (address yet to be determined)

We will post the results quickly. We will also mail a paper copy of the results to all participants.

Hopefully we will be able to publish the results in TFS again this year.

Jim and Ken

16 shooters on the list so far. Last year almost everyone who expressed interest ultimately participated. Last year we also averaged 2 rifles per shooter. So we have an excellent chance of having more that 30 rifles in the match. FUN!

You have me down already. I will be shooting two different rifles. This is one of those fun things that we can do as shooters!

Thanks for putting this on!

Everyone:

I will be mailing the signup sheets in the next day or two -likely tomorrow. You can return those sheets with $5 / rifle. I will send targets out as soon as I receive your signup sheets. Please don't send money without a signup sheet.

Here is a recap:

I have the list of everyone who has expressed interest. I will send each of you a signup sheet this week.

Return the signup and money to me.

I will send you targets and a copy of the rules for your reference.

Shoot your targets and return the record target to KEN CAMPBELL. Lets say the due date will be JUNE 1. I will send Ken's address with the targets.

Ken will score the targets and we will distribute and post the results.

Status Report: I have received entry forms from longhunter, Dukem, GWarden and 4060may. Collectively they entered 8 rifles. I am aware of some other entry forms "in the mail". I will mail the first batch of targets this weekend.

Greetings,

I am out of Alaska right now and in Hawaii, so will send in my entry forms after I get home in a couple weeks. I plan on shooting 4 guns (maybe 5, see how much $ I have in my wallet after I get home).
