July E-Postal - Results

For a while there I was worried that this contest might be too easy, but I guess not. Here are the results. If I get any more in the next day or two, I'll add them in.

Congrats to True Blue Sam for taking first in Class 1. He has a video of how he did it here. He's obviously been taking lessons from Mr. C.

I think Mike B used a 10/22, but it didn't get written down. I would have liked to have used my new Marlin, but forgot to move it to the right gun case before leaving for the range. The rather stiff trigger probably would have put me further down though.
Also Congrats to Pat B on his win in Class 3, edging out C. Johnson, who is True Blue Sams brother.

I apologize for not including a place to put in your data. Next time.

As a suggestion, when you scan targets, put a piece of yellow paper such as a yellow ruled tablet behind your target. This provides contrast for the holes. Oddly, black doesn't work as well. Go figure.

I have modeled up some targets based on the trick shots done on Top Shot. We may be seeing them on some of the later e-postals.

Thanks for hosting a great contest, Billll! Chester is really enthused about using the e-Postal to improve his pistol skills. He has been reading the gun blogs for the last year; talking to Mom and to me, and he settled on a .45 for his first pistol.

Sort of reminds me of the career advice I got once. The best way to get to the top is to start there.
