Michael,
I will probably bring the 336ER and the 1895G, with the ER being the one I would prolly use. I have asked my brother if he would want to go. Of course he wants to, but we already booked a bear hunt for next fall so he was wondering about getting the time off work. About when were you wanting the hunt to take place? Our only other hog hunt took place in Florida and was a complete disaster. I have no doubt that this one will be something to remember.


The firearms selection sounds good. As far as the date, any time after the first weekend of the new year. The sooner the better as the hogs will tend to be more dependent on feed. This is thick country and feed gets them out of the brush. I guess March tends to be a very good time with weather, etc.

I talked to Shorty, today’s his b-day the big 13, and he is tweaked about winning a Marlin hat. I think it’s safe to say he’ll be shooting again in next years match… :)

Up next for him, reloading 101. And while he is loading his ammo, he might as well load mine too… :D

When you get him loading yours have him send me a pm I'll have some tips for him for your PM loads! :D :D

Will do Mike, and thanks, he's watching this thread. :D

Happy belated birthday Shorty and congratulation on being a winner dude!! Any time you set out to improve yourself in any way you are a winner.

Dave :cool:

Happy Birthday Shorty...I think your Dad should give you his 444 for your Birthday :D

Thanks guys, really :D :D But Shorty is my grandson ;)

Old phart!!

Rowdy,
Be careful giving out those big bore rifles to a young'un. My son developed quite a flinch after begging to shoot my Ruger .458 when he was about 11-12. He's recovered from the flinch but even in his 40's he still mentions that 458 episode once in a while. Of course the 444 is only a minor player in the big bore scheme of things so that would be a good place to start the small fry.

If they are starting to call you names because of having grandchildren what will I be called now that our first great-grandchild is expected early next year?

Right-on Steelbanger, that’s good advice and I will take it farther. With the new shooters you need to keep the range time short and fun.
A 444 Marlin with moderate loads is actually fun to shoot but it will never be a 458 Win Mag elephant stopper nor was it designed to be one :eek: …

You need to ask VTDW about nicknames, but it needs to sound older than ‘Old phart’ :p

Congrats on the great. :cool:

Steelbanger,

I am not a 'Great' yet you old phart. :D I figure my 12 yr old granddaughter will bless us with a 'Great' in several more years. I hope it is at least 15-20 years though. :p

Dave :cool:

First year teenager; great start to his teen years!

SFT - Yep :)

With 13y old eyesight and reflexes,
We need to teach the young-ones and get them into the shooting sports. ;)

Just in case Ranch Dog is willing to do another PM. I already started smelting Wheelweights and secret ingredients into alloys to cast this winter after hunting season. I fiquire with new glasses and some secret loads and lots of practice I'll be set to go! :D


Opps, I forgot the all important PM KenK Flipflops! I'll definitely need new ones!

Oh yeah, there will be another postal match and next year I plan on participating.

OK, all prizes from the Reamy ranch are enroute. What a day! Me and the Mrs. started at 9:30 and went to the PO at 2:30! Something over 50 packages! It actually went smooth and better than expected. Hopefully everything will arrive in good shape. Please remember your letters to the sponsors this is very, very important! The list is on the PM web site.

When I emptied the Marlin box, I found another 12 knives so I held another drawing and will update the list in the morning. It has been a busy day and I just can't get to it now. Also in the morning, I will pass the necessary info to Marshall at BTB concerning those prizes and the same to the fellow at Skinner Sights. I will also send the info to Steelbanger for the certificates. Next week the appropriate place holders will get information about setting up their avatars and the PMIV avatars are going to turn to a little red "X". I will help you get rid of those if you need.

If you shot with your youngster, the prizes are coming together.

Hot dang, consolation prizes.

Reminder folks!!!!

Please drop a few $$ in the mail for Michael's expenses with all the boxes and postage as I imagine his expenses are substantial. Besides, he might have to get Dianna something for Christmas. ;)

Thanks for all you do Michael!!

Dave :cool:

I can just imagine the mayhem at the Cuero Post Office yesterday.
50 outgoing packages . . on the same day! "Hey Slim, most of 'em goin' to Nebraska!"

Sobenk,

I'm on my way to the local PO to mail your Nosler manual. Probably take it a week to crawl across the country.

I have the place winner awards up. I cannot get them to appear for Dan 444 and KenK eventhough they have "show signature" selected. I will talk with MikeG about it.

It's working now.

One request though; would the winners of the grips please post pics of them on your 1911's when you get a chance? I'm dying to see Mike G's work highlighted.

Yay! Got mine installed.....

Oops, forgot I didn't actually enter the match :rolleyes: :p


Oh well being the gripmaker means you sometimes get a free set for yourself... :D

Mike,

That is really purdy right there bro. Really nice.

Dave :cool:

Awsome! Looking goooood!

Yay! Got mine installed.....

Got my stuff in the mail today. Thanks a bunch everybody. Michael and Alan, you both do yourself proud. Takes a lot of work!

Got the first deer of the year a couple of days ago. An eater doe. Muzzleloader is not my favorite. Too hot to be out with a gun in the woods, but this helped cull the smart doe of the herd. She teaches everyone how to get around avoiding me. I've been after her for 4 years!

Well been up at the cabin for a couple 0f weeks, fishing and getting my food plots in. The fishing was not that great but come back to prizes and got bummped up to 1st. in the 50yd open sights. That's great. I sure was hopeing I would get somemore coffee this year. I don't drink much coffee in the summer time but I sure do like a good cup on cool morinings. Thanks again Michael for going to all the trouble for us to burn some powder and sling some lead. Good shooting everyone. It still amazes me how good these levers can shoot.

Wow! I got the grips and knife today in the mail. Beautiful and thank you again! As soon I get a chance I'll install them and take a picture. By the way I am a wood dummy, what kind are they made out of?

OK guys, I just mailed your certificates. If there are any discrepancies please let me know & I'll fix them for you. It gets confusing for an older guy - trying to get all those numbers correct.

Marlin rifles dominated the top spots once again with only two non-conformists using "other" - Savage & Browning. Oh, the shame!

Good luck to all in the upcoming hunting seasons. I'm sure your summer spent at the rifle range will pay off in venison. Maybe you should send some backstraps to Ranch Dog.

Thanks Steelbanger,

We appreciate the trouble you go to. This will be expected from know on you know. ;)

Dave :cool:

Got my Marlin cap and the knife today. Man this feels good. Thanks to all for participating and to those who do the work.

Tommy and I got the goodie box in the mail yesterday. I thought he was going to sleep with his Marlin cap on ;) Let me tell you, he is proud of that hat!!! He wants my Marlin pocket knife, I just might have to put it away for another couple years and let him have it then. You guys at Marlin made our day, THANK YOU!!

Luis,
My house smells like coffee THANK YOU!! :)

I got the certificate today and the magazine with the Model 99 article. I loved the magazine and will read it completely. I hope things are going good for you and your wife.
Thanks a million for your time and efforts.
Mike B.

Shorty and I got the loot today. Thanks Ranch Dog for your hard work and thank you Luis- I’m going to enjoy the coffee. :D :D

Got my screw driver set and Marlin pocket knife yesterday, and have used each at least twice each day. These are great!

I went to the official RD's PM pages and printed out both sets of sponsors and addresses. Now to come up with a nice couple of form letters.

Dave :cool:

My certificates came in the mail today, many thanks Steelbanger. I will put them on the wall in my reloading room.

No coffee yet, I hope the postman isn't drinking it. :mad:

Rowdy,

I haven't even started :o yet but I will commit to having a couple ready and post them here by Sunday evening.

Tnx,

Dave

I got my goodies today.
Neat stuff.
Thanks again.

Thank you Steelbanger for the certificate!

Thank you Steelbanger for the certificate!

DITTO!!! I really do appreciate it Steelbanger as it is great of you to take of your time and $$ and contribute these certificates.

.444s Rock!
.308 MXs Rock!
Steelbanger Rocks!!

Dave :cool:

VTDW,
Thanks Dave.
Rumor has it that your last years first place certificate was about worn out from you dragging it out to show to anyone that would look. Hope this new one holds up for you.
First place with the smallest group two years in a row! That is fine shooting indeed.
We have initiated coffee rationing here. Only going to use Yaucono for special occasions rather than make pot after pot until it's all gone. After three years without we want to savor it for a long time. Smooth, aromatic and delicious. Thanks again Luis.

You have me pegged for sure. :D I am the same way about Luis's coffee he so generously purchases and ships all the way from Puerto Rico. It is only for hunting trip coffee.

Dave :cool:

I got my certificate also. It looks great! thanks.

I'm looking forward to next year's postal match. I've not entered it in the past but after looking at some of your targets I think my Glenfield 30-30 (looks like it was dragged a few miles down a logging road) can hold its own as long as the nut behind the butt does his job. Really, the groups I looked at were great.

phatdad,

You will enjoy next year's match and all the friendly trash talk banter that goes on. AND you will get to know your rifle better than you ever thought possible. Welcome aboard.

Dave :cool:

Steelbanger- Got my certificate today, it looks great :D Thank you...

RANCH DOG- Got my prizes today in the mail. THANKS !!

STEELBANGER- Got my certificate, already framed and hanging by the front door.

Gotta comment here; this is the first year I've entered with two lousy targets and I got drawn for two great items, both of which I use almost every day now. After lurking for the past few years and threatening to send in a target, you couldn't stop me now from entering next year.

Thanks to all for support, comments and not least of all, for the fun.

That is the nice thing about the way the prizes are awarded. Anyone can win anything, so no one should be discouraged from shooting and entering. No matter what kind of target you send in, if it has 5 holes on the paper, you could walk away the big winner, I think that is great!

Welcome aboard son, it’s all fun… ;)

The coffee and T-Shirt arrived today. I sure appreciate it, Luis. Thank you again Michael for putting this on.

I normally drink the boss's coffee monday thru friday but this stuff smells so good I may not be able to wait until saturday to brew a pot.

Save that coffee for yourself son, you're the one who done won it, not your boss!:D

Got my prizes this week. Thank-you to all involved, but mostly thank-you to all that participated, making this the best postal match EVER!

Just received my prize, a Marlin folding knife. Thank you Ranch Dog for the time and effort put forth hosting the postal match. I enjoyed competing in the match, and hope to do so in the future. My only regret is not having had the time to shoot more targets. I would also like to thank all the shooters who sent targets in, some very impressive scores.

I have been carrying the Marlin folder for several years and it can't be beat for a small carry. Well...maybe the old Baby Buck would beat it but they don't make em any more. :(

Dave :cool:

Here's my Kimber with Mike's ebony grips and some teak grips he had made for me before. I polished and oiled the ebony lightly. The teak have oil. I have my daughter home from college for fall break and she's doing all this, as I can't. :confused:

I'll try to post other photos further down. :cool:

Well, so much for a Princeton education... :D She couldn't do it!

I'll MAIL MikeG the photos!!!

Sorry guys. :rolleyes:

I think I missed something. I think I won a /Beartooth Cap but there was something I had to do to get my info to Marshall. Is anyone aware of what I need to do to claim this coveted prize.

I sent the ifo to Marhsall, he might be snowed under with bullets but I will remind him.

Hey Luis:
Posting pictures is a bit tricky, so we put the details into a sticky thread in General.

http://www.shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?t=34239&page=2&pp=15

Nick summed up the details here:
http://www.shootersforum.com/attachment.htm?attachmentid=5609

The two main problems are that the picture is too big, over 100,000 bytes, and not waiting for the picture to upload if you're on dial-up.

Bye
Jack

I'll post them for you, Luis, just send them....

After the holidays I've still got to shoot a deer with the muzzle loader and shoot a bunch of birds with the dog, but I'm already thinking about and hoping to hear about a Postal Match VI!! I'm casting and loading after the sun goes down and working on those perfect loads!
I'm a new grandfather this year and I'm thinking about ordering a Marlin for the grandson and working it out in the postal league.

Merry Christmas Everybody and God Bless you and your families all!!:):):)

Congrats on the new grandchild. I think it would be great if you got him a Marlin made in the year of his birth, maybe even a limited edition if one is available.

Why don't you bring that muzzle loader and your favorite Marlin to Hogfest III in March? I'm bringing my .54 cal Lyman LH Great Plains that I recently refinished; we could really add some smoke and fire to the hunt! :D

Merry Christmas and may God Bless you and the ones who love you.
Safe travels to all.

Hey, I just got to see how those ebony grips turned out, please send the pics to Mike so we can all see them.

The story behind how the ebony wood became available is pretty interesting in and of itself. The wood was part of some African folk art that I won at a silent auction at the local Goodwill. There were two pieces, each with a bust of a woman and a man carved out of real ivory. I was mainly interested in the ivory to turn into grips or inlays for one of my rifles. After removing the busts I figured out that the wood they were mounted on was african ebony. This is a tone wood meaning that it is used in instruments for it's musical quality, as well as the wood that was originally used for the black keys on pianos. Ivory was used for the white keys.

This wood is so dense it does not float, and due to it's high silica content it will polish to a high shine without oil or other finish. It will dull wood working tools very quickly, but it's very easy to work once you know it's characteristics.

I donated the remainder of what I wasn't going to use so Mike G. could work his magic and add another prize to the Postal Match.

I'm using what I've kept to lengthen the butt stocks of two of my rifles, as my long arms need more wood added to compensate.

I've been thinking about getting ready to get ready myself. I am glad I am not the only one with the PM obssesion.

I still ain't found the spell chaeck!!! Embaracing!!!

I'm thinking about ordering a Marlin for the grandson and working it out in the postal league.


A 32-20 or .357 sure would be a nice rifle for a youngster to start out on, especially loaded with grandpa's cast bullet loads.

I'd been trying to shoot some every afternoon but the dark and cold have finally about beat me down. I'm ready to get going on the match too.

I think the .357/.38 Marlin is a great starter for youngsters. Start them with mild .38 cowboy loads and when the time is right go up to .357 loads.

The .32 is also a great rifle but would become limited to varmits and small game when that time comes as well. But as I like to say, I'm not a gun collector, more of a gun gatherer, so the more (Marlins) the better. :D

Merry Christmas to all :D

Postal Match VI, is coming up :eek: i need more bullets...

And to you as well.
God Bless.

I've been kinda following this occasionally and this looks like... too simple, but good & fun things often are. You mean I could just take my Rossi 92 in 44 WCF, lay it across a sandbag and shoot the Ranch Dog target at 50 yds, mail it in, and there's even a remote possibility that I could luck out & win a real-live Beartooth hat?????????!!!!!!!!! :eek: And I could even shoot another one standing? Holy cow!

I'm in for the next one. ;) Now if I could just get some of the snow to recede...

Wishing you all the safest & Blessings in your shooting for the coming year. This is a great forum.

If any buddies are reading, if I win a BTB Tech Guide you can have it, but you can't have the one on my shelf 'cause my notes from Marshall are in there, so just lay off...

:)

It's all good. I waited until this year to enter and got drawn for two great prizes.

I've been playing the last three years and have always been drawn for something. I like that it gives me a good excuse to get to the range more.

wig,
That is the beauty of the match, it is simple. Go out and shoot as many targets as you like and send them in. We have had good support with donations, and the best thing is that anyone who sends in targets can win, that way no one should be discouraged from sending in targets. My son got a Marlin hat for a prize that he wears everyday. He is pretty proud of that hat and is talking about shooting again. We may have created a monster:)

There are parents that create worse kinds of monsters Big Med :)

i'm thinking i'll try my hand at this fine contest.
looks like a hoot.

It's 16 degrees and breezy this am. it must be time to get to the range and start practicing for the next Postal League! :D Is it official? Is Michael going to have another one??? I'm ready to print up new targets and start practicing but I think I'll load some shells today instead.:D

Good idea. I loaded for the 06 yesterday and was thinking about the 44 today. I have an order into Midway for some things and I have a local supplier lined up for some cast bullets but I think I am going to load some of the XTPs I have. I need to get rid of them anyway. It will take me a while to get brass ready. I better get cracking.

Chief, you ought to try casting your own. I've got a 44 mould I will give you.

Wow! Thanks Ken. I just really don't have the time to start another hobby right now. I can't load the bullets I have now. I use the Hornady swagged swc for my plinking and they are 20 bucks for 200 locally. I use BTB for hunting and I have a settled load now so the development is over for that.

If I ever start doing a lot of shooting, I will have to learn. Maybe if I ever get to retire and my health is good. Whoops. Who can retire before they have to these days?

Thanks again Ken.

Chief, you just need a casting set up like Mike B.

:eek:It's February 15th, one end of my house is sagging under the weight of all the bullets I've cast getting ready for another Postal Match and I haven't read anything about a new Postal Match!! It's gotta soon be time to start thinking about it and getting and giving grief to each other!:D:D

Somewhere on line I read that Ranch Dog will be holding PM VI but it will be starting later this year. He is one busy man.

My plan is to "Shoot and Shoot More Often". Might even get that .308/99 in the mix this year. The 1894 may get another lapping so there may be graphite around some of the holes.

I'm going to a gun show this afternoon. I hope to leave the 336XLR there and come home with a new PM rifle.

Why would you do that? Aren't the XLR's harder to come by and are more expensive than the regular 336's?

So much snow on the ground here I have not had the chance to try-out my new 'secret weapon' for Postal Match VI.:eek:

I hope Rowdy ain't skeered nobody off with his secret weapon!

I've got three "new" Marlins to try this year: 336A - 32 Win Spl (1952), 336ER and Marlin 375. Haven't shot them or done any load development. Need to order brass, bullets, dies, scopes, etc.

Dan

I'm still here, just been busy with work. But I'm getting ready for the PM, trying to work up a load for the MX. It was warm enough today to go out and test some loads, but the dang wind is blowing 30-40 mph.

That work does get in the way of a man's hobbies. I've been more or less steadily employed since I was 12 (my daddy kept me busy with the farm and his survey business) and still ain't overly fond of it.

"I hope Rowdy ain't skeered nobody off with his secret weapon!"[/quote]
He hasn't skeered me yet! I've been casting special bullets and loading shells all winter when it's been too messy to get the bird dog out. Added a few lever's to the collection too. I'm getting new glasses in a couple of weeks and I'll be ready to open up some cans of whoop ask!:D
I'm looking forward to shooting the rifles and catching some trout and shad this spring!

I'm not overly fond of it either. I work as a Physician Assistant in a rural area. The day are long, I spend two days of my life every week on call for 24 hrs and I'm usually up most of that. This past month has been bad, I average 2-4 hours sleep a night for those call nights, and I'm expected to work a full day with a packed clinic the following day. I missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years with my family this year, because of this job. There are days that I could just walk away from it all.

We have been telling them that, but for people that don't have to do it, they don't see what the problem is. they can't get anybody as stupid as we were to come here for what they want to pay them and the hours they want them to work. I have come close to leaving a couple times, they only thing that has kept me here is the friends we have, it is a great place to live, and I have some really great patients. One perk is that I can get onto a lot of ground to hunt and fish. The funny thing is that the gov limits the amount of hours a truck driver can be on the road, or a pilot can fly, but they expect us to go days without sleep sometimes and not make any mistakes. Since I have been here they worst two week period I had was a few years ago. I had 156.5 hours actually spent at work, but on average now it is between 96 and 110 hours every two weeks. It gets old.

Howdy boys. Threw my hat in the door and it stayed so I guess I'm safe. Big Med, While not working on patients I really understand long hours. Been that way for a while. I barely get to shoot. hopefully daylight savings time will help a bit. I do have a solution. Plastic surgery. If you can make Dave look purdy you can make a fortune and quit. reflex264

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Reflex - Say man!
Big Medicine - Hey baby!
Roy - I saw your wife the other day!
Big Medicine - Yeah?
Reflex - Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Big Medicine - Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!

Yep I am ugly but I sure can cook and take Visa.:D

Dave:cool:

I can't hold my breath anymore!!:eek: Is there going to be a Postal League VI???? I've been casting, sizing and lubeing bullets all winter and now I have to sift through hundreds of pounds of bullets to find groups of five bullets that will fly into one hole!!:rolleyes:

RD posted a while back that there will indeed be a Postal Match VI but it will start later this year. I don't remember when he said though. Spring has arrived here in Okieland and it is great weather with only occasional rain and moderate temps for the next 2-2 1/2 months.

Shoot them boolits faster fps and they won't have time to wander off course.:rolleyes:

Dave:cool:

Sounds like your ready to go, breathe Mike breathe:D.
I've got 3 out of 4 guns ready, still working on the Secret Weapon. KenK was right its a Marlin 1984 CB in 32 HR Mag. Been to snowey to try it with cast yet, hopfully soon, as i might have to firelapp it.

Gonna have to start early this year and not wait until the last minute. I'm determined that the .35 place in the top three this year.

Sir, I sincerely wish you the best of luck; howsomever, I just can't see that happening.

Oh, you just lack imagination, but we'll see this time around.:D

So Rowdy got him a 32 H&R mag:D

Even better, I got a new .32 bullet mould. Early results are very promising. The bar WILL be raised. Come on Trash Talk VI.

So Rowdy got him a 32 H&R mag:D


Yes he did, but he isn’t sure why yet.:confused:

Setting next to my 1895 CB it looks so small, like a toy, like a little sissy girl’s gun. I was so embarrassed while talking to the salesman at Cabelas, I had to tell him I was buying it for my granddaughters to shoot. Maybe they can get it to shoot, cause I sure cant, not yet anyway.

Oh I forgot- is it still considered “bad form” to disrespect ones own firearm?

KenK- your bullets shot way better than the ones I’m casting…Looking forward to trying out some 115gr BTB’s in it next…

Rowdy, I can remember reading some old posts by William Iorg and Dr. A about loading cast bullets in the .32 H&R.

If I had one, I know what I would try right off the bat.;)

I would offer to swap my 336 XLR for the .32 mag but that thing went down the road last weekend. I got a model 39A for it.

So you got ride of the stainless fencepost, hated it for the beginning didn’t ya, good on you…

I’ve talked to the Dr. and he shoots a GC bullet that I’m sure works great, but I’m wanting a PB one, just for plinking of coarse …

I’m not done with her yet, got another 126 cast to shoot tomorrow, post firelapp, let you know how it works- out …

Now all you good old boys practice, practice, practice and something tells me you are gonna need it...again.:D Dr. A. is coming!!!!!!;)

Dave:cool:

I ain't scared of no doctor.
It would not surprise me in the least though if Rowdy was.

You guys, including the doc, oughta' save your time & energy. I got three "new" toys that I ain't used before and they're gonna take some places: 336A- 32 Win Spl., 336ER and Marlin 375. Dang, I'm gonna have some fun with load development and just fillin' a bunch of PM targets. Statistically, I should get a good one just based on the number of targets that I'm going to need....

Best,
Dan

Your grandson shot that for you, right?

That target has Shorty written all over it. Grandpa can't shoot that good.

Rowdy,

We are all so skeert by that target our tennis shoes are turning yellow.:D

:D:D:D:D

Oh I almost forgot, my 444 SS is ready to go also:cool:

I need to find 'that' target to make a sight adjustment...:D

...What cartridge and brand of rifle will rein king this year? I'm going to say that the Marlins will again take top honors, lets see if any of the Winchester, Savage, or Browning shooters can prove that wrong :D Oh, ou mean I wasn't just supposed to take the front gun outta the safe, grab a box of ammo, walk outside and plug 5 shots on paper? I can actually practice, develop a target load, and turn in MORE than ONE entry?!!

"I can actually practice, develop a target load, and turn in MORE than ONE entry?!!"

Who'd of thunk it?:rolleyes:

Before you go to all that trouble you might consider just getting down off that horse to shoot. Leastways make him stand still.

KenK- can we get your take on our options for acceptable footwear for PM VI...:D:D:D...tia

And don't give us that Cr*p about , socks shall be worn with flip-flops again...:p

Any word from the potentate?

I've been wondering the same thing? Shad seasons over, I've got to do a little trout fishing and then I'm ready to start shooting up a ream of targets! I've been casting bullets all winter and putting special lubes on them and chanting over them. I'm ready as soon as I know the rules and dress code etc!:D
