Pathetic postal matches
I’ve been waiting to publish these, frankly, because I was hoping for a few stragglers.
I know people are busy, and so am I, but this is fairly pathetic. I probably need to promote this more, so anyone with any ideas, please feel free to send them on. Remember, every other weekend all summer. If I missed people who did shoot, please remail your entry, I have AOL and so my mail bites the wax tadpole. Mhardig_at_aol-dot-com
Thanks, I know it’s hard to make time. Remember, we’re riflemen and women.

I’ll get the June 18 .22 match, but don’t think I’ll be able to get to a 100-yard range for the centerfire.
Sorry. I’m focusing on my archery, thinking I might maybe, possibly, hunt this fall. If I don’t talk myself out of it. Which I probably will.
Not that I have a muzzle loader, anyway.
Stop by, girl. I’ll hook you up. It’s a $90 flight to Chicago, good local hotels if you don’t want to stay at Chez Og, and we could spend a day at the range.
Sorry about that, Chief. Unfortunately, Northeast Ohio is particularly poorly provided with outdoor ranges open to the public. I know I need a membership at a private range, and I’m working on it. In the meantime, I plan to participate in whatever events I can do from the pistol range where I do have a membership.
Thanks- I know y’all are trying, it’s my fault for not promoting more/better.
Og,
While I love the idea of the postal match, I’m completely untrained when it comes to firearms. The number of occasions where I’ve shot (outside of my BB gun when I was a kid) can be counted on one hand. (But at least one of those occasions included automatic weapons!)
That’s a situation that must be rectified. When an you come to Northwest Indiana for a weekend?
I wish I could. Of course, that’s also the region where some of my in-laws live, so I almost never actually get to do anything FUN there. They tell me there’s a really interesting city near there — “Chicago”, I think it’s called — but we never actually get out of Lansing/Hegwish, so I never get to see it.
Lansing? hegewish? you’re a 10 minute trip to my house. Plan a long weekend and let me know, I’ll take you to a range, and you can shoot 22, 380,30-06, 30-30, 357, 45, 50 caliber muzzleloader. I’ll be tickled to do so.
