[wakosama]

I've had same problem. had to downsize some files. but also when I used 'attach files' in the LH corner instead of just trying to dump or 'paste' them in the post it mostly worked.

A couple of pics I could've sworn I posted...

Axxe and the Barrett

Ox the Destroyer and the MP5.

And one more pic, Ms Tabitha with that full-auto grin on her face shooting the MP5:

Good to see everyone had a good time. TGT may be based on guns, but it is more than that.

I had a good time & great fellowship. It was nice to put faces to the names.
Thanks for having me.

We are glad ya'll had a great time. I went out and shot in my back yard just to pretend I was there... of course my 'spread' is a little bit smaller so I had to be a bit more covert....

Don't ever denigrate that setup for training.

The first medal won by China in the modern Olympics was for Men's 50M Pistol (aka Free Pistol). They barely had a team and they had no pistol coaching to speak of. What they did have was one guy who was famous throughout his rural province for his skill with a slingshot. They put a good pistol in his hand, gave him enough ammo to familiarize himself with the gun, then shipped him off to The Games.

He won gold, became a national hero, and almost single-handedly created the Chinese obsession with Olympic shooting.

tl;dr - Slingshots are good.

Add Tatsuya Sakai as another example. Steel Challenge champion, IIRC.

I'M GOING TO DELAY THE 2024 SPRING MEET BECAUSE I WILL BE GOING THROUGH RADIATION TREATMENTS AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE UP A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY I'LL BE PLANNING ON MAY OR JUNE THIS YEAR!

 

[Doons]

Well that sounds like no fun! Best wishes on your treatment.

 

[Army 1911]

Good luck with the treatments. Get well buddy.

 

[General Zod]

Your health takes precedence, my friend.

So sorry Axxe. I will plan on meeting you.

 

[thescoutranch]

As always, you need to take care of yourself first! I don’t think anyone on this board will mind working around your schedule, as long as you get better in the end.

We will all keep you in our prayers during your next round of treatments.

 

[Tnhawk]

Prayers for a successful round of treatments.

That Radiation will kick your butt.
It's been a rough 3 1/5 years for me, April 28 2021 a kid pulled out in front of me at HEB, Tamina on 1488 and totaled my Cadillac, I now have 3 vertebra fused with titanium and 6 screws. I was just getting around and got covid, 5 days in the hospital. Was just getting over that and came down with prostate cancer, did the radiation.
Been a year, getting around on a cane, then last monday the 12th, back surgery. Ya, I'm whining,
So how's y'all's day going?
