Old Guys vs Young Guys

[Darkgael]

There bein' so many old good shots, er, good old shots (or some such) that I'm thinkin' it'll be a cakewalk to out average the kids. I'm already figgerin' how to spend the prize money.
There is prize money, isn't there?

:grin: .......Ok guys!; I managed to find all my shootin' gear, got my guide dog, walker, hearing aids,and some other stuff that I can't seem to remember what it's for, and made my way to the range ( I think ) yesterday. There was a lot of cars parked on the range and this old feller in a blue vest kept comming up to me and asking if he could help. I think he belonged to a shootin' club called "Wal Mart" or somethin' like that.
Any way I did manage to get a shot off and the results are going in the mail this morning..... :wink:

P.S. ............After I finished shootin' I noticed that all the cars and the old guy in the blue vest had left, and on the way out from the range I must've met a 100 cop cars. ....I guess I must've left too soon, 'cause it looks like there was something big going on. Oh well I'll have to read about it in this mornings paper.......

Well I finaly made it to the range about a hundred feet from the back door. The older I get the longer that walk gets, Might have to get me a hover-round for these long trips. Any way, another target comming in for the old guys. :thumbsup:

 

[lonehunter]

Can I throw the roundball at the target whilst holdin my shootin iron in the other hand??
thats the only way I can hit paper :haha:

I'm plannin' on shooting this afternoon, if the rain stops. Fortunately, I don't have to try and find the range, deal with busybodies wearing blue vests, crowded parking lots, or police. I just walk out the back door.

The problem is finding my way back to the door. I laid a trail of bread crumbs, from the door to the back yard, the last time, and had to shoo away a large flock of the birds to see the target. Almost lost my way back to the back door though. Wouldn't have found my way back if not for the harping of my bride shouting something about my shooting into the game preserve again. Almost couldn't here her because of sirens. All of that noise almost drowned out the sweet shrillness of my bride's voice.

What I'm wondering is how large is this X supposed to be? For me to see it at 50 yards, the lines will have to be 2" wide.

One shot only, huh. How about shooting at randomly stacked sheets of paper with each sheet placed haphazardly on top of the others?

Might take some time to sort through all of that paper, but I should find at least one with a hole near the center of the sheet.

God bless

Plannin to shoot with Buripity tomorrow morning. I'm shootin for the mature side and he's shootin for the immature side. Maybe we should just shoot at each other. :hmm: GW

It's completely up to you. Use a fine line or a big fat marker. Go ahead and make 'em 2" if you like. :thumbsup: It really doesn't matter as to the contest rules. The shot will be measured to the center of the paper, not the center of the X. :wink:

Nobody else would ever know, but YOU would know you cheated.
These contests are all done on the honor system just for the fun of it. :hatsoff:

Heck, that's a good idea iffin' our paper targets are to the sides of us. We'd be for sure able to hit paper if aimin' fer' each other! :rotf: But it's hardly fair seein' as how Grey Whiskers is half my size and twice my age! :blah:

It don't matter much though. Those old guys will be lucky if they can remember why they're even holdin' a rifle, let alone powder, patch, ball. :blah: Also, how the heck are they gonna concentrate and be steady when they're all bound up from lack of fiber? Maybe the consolation prize should be a case of prune juice! :rotf: :rotf:

Pshaw. No problemo there. Shucks. You take the rifle and then you... and then I...and then...and then...just a sec...........

Which is it goes in first?

"In what?" says ADD BD...

"Ooohh, shiny!!"

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Well me and Buripity had our shoot off today. I took advantage of him being such a large backstop to post a target on. :grin: Will get it in the mail to MM56 tomorrow. GW

 

[buripity]

Yep. I did my charity work for the day. Just as a Boy Scout would help an old lady cross the street, I let Ol' Grey Whiskers out shoot me. He even remembered to wear his teeth today! :wink:

 

[Jim/OH]

Don't laugh Buripity, just a month or so ago, I shot in a local shoot and the "old timer's prize" (which I won) was indeed a pack of prunes. Tasted pretty good too, I took them to Friendship in June and ate them there. Didn't get bound up a bit while there. Now, what was I lookin for? Oh yes typing paper, gun and the other stuff. :thumbsup:

See ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[Geraldo]

I'm going to shoot this match just because I'm happy to be called a young guy... :thumbsup:

So you old goats think you're devious, eh? See the rules:

At the end of the contest the winning team will be decided by the AVERAGE SCORE for all shooters from each team.

Since this is decided by the average score, us young guys can manipulate this statistically. By having more or less shooters on the team, we can make our average score better than that of the OGs. If we're shooting well, we need to keep the number of shooters small. If we're shooting badly, we'll need another 400-500 young guys to dilute the average. At least that's the way I think it works...

 

[fyrfyter43]

Just think, if we get one of us young'uns to center-punch the paper, the rest of us can all hold our targets. :grin:

Well, I can see that the young guys don't have a sense of humor. Maybe I should have use a coupla smilies, or sumpin, to get the idea across that I was just funnin'. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v

If I planned to cheat, I would shoot at a real close range, and claim a 50 yard shot, instead of wasting a half ream of paper. :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v :v

God bless

 

[jethro224]

J.D., I knew you was just funnin', but since you asked I had to answer. :v

And yer right, sneakin' up on the target would be a way better way to cheat. We trust that nobody will do that tho. :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :v :v :v :v
