            Modern:  Shoot what you brung.
Shooting starts at 9:30 or so- sightin if you like.
Then about 10am  match begins.  10 min incl sighters at each distance.

I used to run a BP cartridge match and chili feed at Tacoma on Super Bowl Sunday.  One of a 3 match series in the "off season."  My wife, who did all the scoring BTW,  dubbed it the "Stupid Sunday Match"  Grin  Obviously, she isn't much for feetball  Cheesy

Cast bullets, get everything organized for the 2016 season, sporting clays. With the weather we've been having here on the east coast we could have extended the season another month or two.

Lately I've been spending the winter ugly months doing maintenance and repairs. Going through a footlocker of old scopes I've owned for 30-40 years, and trying to clean and piece together as many as I can, to get them back in good working order!
Yesterday I did an easy one; a Winchester 8x, that just needed disassembly and a lens cleaning. Optics came out great after cleaning! Finish isn't bad, so I'll leave the old green alone.

Old Craftsman band saw.  (Table removed.)

New tires.  Clean and adjust.  Put on better stand.

That reminds me, I need to put a new spark plug in my band saw and clean the air filter.
