Say Ed... I need to know a little more about the 'Old Codger' shooting contest. I want to make sure I got this right... .22LR at 50 yds, what position? Shoot off sticks, bags, rest? Reason I'm asking... do I need to bring my good gun or will the one on the truck floorboard suffice?  The "Old Codger" shoot hasn't been defined yet. The "Enemy at the Gates" sniper shoot is from prone except for those who, due to advanced age, can get prone but can't get back up. For them, shooting off of sticks while sitting is allowed. Shooting from the supine position, aka 'dying turtle" is showing off, therefore, not permitted. Only Paladin is allowed to "show off".  Ed

Ed - this thread makes me envious. Wish I could join y'all again this year. No more than I wish you could be here, Paul. Ed

...I feel badly you couldn't come up with my appearance fee.
Thank you for the kind words, Bob. If you would not have demanded your fee be paid in 20 year old Scotch, Cuban cigars, and having your personal sheep keep you warm at night, we could have had a deal. All I could find was 18 year old Scotch and the deal fell through.  Really, I am sorry that you won't make it this year. I am looking forward to the day we finally get to shake hands and swap lies in person. Come see us sometime. Mi casa es tu casa. Ed Me and Miles was gonna donate our miles for your ticket Bob. A bus really is the best way to see the country.

Way it got started was that the Younguns are having a match with any rifle, any sights, from prone at 200 yards. Us Mature Gentlemen are permitted to shoot in THAT match, sitting, with sticks. Blue don't own a 22, but you may shoot yours since it's "any rifle, any sights". In fact... I suggest that you DO shoot it with your 22. [hee,hee,hee] Are you trying to confuse Randy or me? The discussion was around the "Enemy at the Gates" sniper shoot with .22lr at 50 yards, prone. Since some of you are too "round" to shoot prone, or are old enough to generate respect and not have to endure the prone position, we were discussing letting you "mature" gentlemen shoot from sticks while seated. If Randy chooses to shoot it from 200 yards, I'd say he was just showing off. Ed The "handicap" was granted to me and Blue originally...... and Blue don't own a 22. Do I have to go back thru ALL the posts to prove it was for the 200 yard shoot? Never mind, Randy got Grandfathered in, so it's going to be all screwed up anyhow. And I got a 22........ a real good one.

I'm gonna bring my buddy, pal, and friend Blue, a .22 to shoot. He can shoot it any way he likes... sticks, prone, bags, rest, whatever.
I'm even gonna supply the ammo, for the .22!
Got 2 .22 rifles and a brick of ammo, for the kids to shoot.

... Do I have to go back thru ALL the posts to prove it was for the 200 yard shoot? Yes, you WILL have to go back through them to prove it to me. The reason is, the ONLY 200 yard match we have(and have had) is the Prairie Dog Shoot and that is any rifle, any caliber, any sights, ANY POSITION. Mebee you need to up your Geritol dose in the mornings? Ed

The way we shot the 22lr at 50m was prone, but no support. That meant only elbows and whatever else from your body contacted ground. No bags, sticks, tripod, bipods, walkers or wheelchairs... rules can be bent for those who can't bend.
1 shot at a time.
BTW Paladin was supposed to be in Peru by now, but there has been radio silence from his contact on the job. We should make it back this Sunday as I am speaking in a conference

You ain't that far from here. I'll just kidnap you and demand a ransom. We can split it. Ed That won't work, Wifey will send you repeated large sums of money to keep me. That's actually pretty good as you guys will be able to party indefinitely or the honey-do jar fills up and she can't find a mesican to do the yard work.

Thanks guys, I like the way ALL of you think.
Just when I was unpacking to repack for East Texas, I received a Red Alert panic email from Chicken Little stating the sky is falling and I should have already been in Peru.
Fortunately and unfortunately, I won't be able to see everyone at Ed's Place (that should be the name of a cafe/bar/dance hall/shooting gallery).
As a matter of fact, I'll miss seeing Pablo as well.
Be safe, sage, sane, and have a barrel of monkey fun. And take lots of pics.
David
