How about a Freeper Postal Match?

Sounds like a GREAT idea to me!

Let's Roll!

It was 14° here in NY this morning after having temps near 60° for a while - oh, it's windy too - blew the target stand down last Saturday. It's tough to shoot with thick gloves on ;)

[WALLACE212]

Will do.

I dusted off my Glock 17 this past weekend. You guys have nothing to worry about. The only way I could win is if I try to hit everything except the target. Happy shooting.

OK, It has been one week since I mailed the targets and exactly ZERO people have reported their receipt.

Is the post office really that screwed up?

[Cogadh na Sith]

I will check my mail today--I live in the mountains of New Mexico, so sometimes it takes a while....

I haven't received anything. ctdon is your closest neighbor. Capandball and m1911 should have received their's since they live in Virginia. 70,000 FR members, 300 gun posts on what gun to buy, 16 people signed up to shoot and I bet you get only 10 who return their targets.

I shouldn't say anything but I went through this when the CMP was almost giving M1 Garands away. I was lucky to convince 5 people out of hundreds to take advantage of a great offer. The Garands were 165 dollars at the time and it was 5 dollars to shoot the match and they gave you the ammo, clips and once in a while the bandoliers and ammo can. I had one guy come up to me and said that he really wanted one. I told him that he had to shoot one match and then send in his money. He repeated that he really wanted one. I told him that the matches were fun. He repeated his statement. I told him more about the match. He told me again that he really wanted one. I tried again and he again told me, he really wanted one. I thought to myself, I'm not going to give the $*&(@# thing to him and walked away. Now I don't bother. I head for the range by myself.

If this happens, I am VERY interested in participating in a 25-yard pistol match! - FReepMail me for contact info?

[HairOfTheDog]

Ahh - Just noted the date... Am I too late this time?

[ibbryn]

Nothing here yet. Yes the Post Office is that screwed up. Should have emailed em.

[ctdonath2]

Yes, it's that screwed up. I haven't gotten anything yet.

[CapandBall]

Nothing yet. I am checking FreeRepublic and this thread daily for updates. I will notify you the instant the targets arrives.

[WALLACE212]

Nothing yet in Florida. Will let you know when that changes.

"Is the post office really that screwed up?"

It' starting to look that way.

[umgud]

Checked my mail today here in central CA....... Nut'n yet and I check daily. Already bought factory wadcutters. I may not perform well, but I'm ready. I will freepmail you the day I get them.

[5Madman2]

Nothing yet-will Freepmail you when received. Not to worry, now that you've said something, they'll show. Murphy says so

[CapandBall]

Day two of the missing target mail watch. Nothing to report sir.

[CapandBall]

TARGETS HAVE ARRIVED! (I'm assuming... my wife just called me at my office from home and said a 2 1/2 - 3 foot "tube" from NY came in the mail today).
