Well guys, this last tues. I had another cancer operation on my neck and back. An hour an haft later they were done. I do not know if I will be able to shot this match or not. I can not do any lifting for 2 wks. I have my AA900 on my shooting bench, so I may try shooting it next Sunday.
Here is a pic of my back after op. Good shooting and high scores to everybody. Craig
Its over 2" long.

i always intend to shoot some matches but actually getting a big enough block of time to actually shoot it is tough. my shooting ends up being a few minutes here and a few minutes there IF it materializes.
-
You are selling yourself short... go ahead, shoot here and there. Then submit your targets as they seem fit over a 2 week period. Easy-Peezy. :)
YOU GOT THIS NEXT YEAR!!
-
It's Tuesday and not one target and score. What is everybody waiting for? To SEE if I shot or not. If I do, I hope my back won't hold me back. I know a few are gunning for me.LOL Time will tell. Come on, HAVE some FUN. Craig P.S. Thanks for Prays.
-
I don;t think that anything holds you back. You are too determined to let that happen. Hope you get to have some of this fun soon. This is my thought on shooting-- If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven't done much today---. Just let-r-rip buddy.

Finally got a break in the 25+ wind. Tried AA 7.87 and they worked. Had 4 shots that went before the 2nd stage was set but all in all I was pretty happy.

Thanks guys. Just doing the best I can with what I have learned on here and with Gods blessing. But as John Denver said-- some days are diamonds, some days are stones. The diamonds get posted- the stones are lessons learned. Has been great fun for the old man and tolerance from the bride.

I shot the PCP class first to test the water and it was already on my shooting bench. No lifting. No problem. ;D So today had son put the 900 away, and put the 300 on the bench for me. Here again no problem. As you see by the scores posted. ;) :D ;D
Were are all the shooters??? :o I guess it is just me and Don so far. Were 8) Craig

God love ya Craig!
I am in the middle of shooting my scores. Well sorta, tried dialling in the HW98 at 10M with a variety of pellets. She is obviously a 30y+ gun. The R10 in .20 is a Hoot, but not surgically accurate... as is the C1 new-2-me.
Now reverting back to the FWB 300S.
My PCP entry will start testing some vintage to newer CO2. Then maybe a lowly Benjiman Maximus

Wanted to try some scoped shooting, now my eyes hurt from trying to focus and also the constant poi shifting is really annoying with these chinese scopes, next time I will be using normal peeps again, much easier to use and no parallax.

Finn... NICE SHOOTING!
May I see a photo of your Anschutz 2002 super air?
