Just to spice things up a bit, I was thinking of some possible contests that we might enjoy. It seems a few of us will be bringing along a slingshot, perhaps a contest of marksmanship is in order?

Here's what I was thinking........

Round #1

(5) Shots at a bullseye target for all Gathering-goers / top 4 scores move to Round 2 (tied scores fire three additional shots until a winner is determined)

Round #2

(3) Shots at a smaller bullseye target for the top 4 / top 2 scores move to Round 3 (tied scores fire three additional shots until a winner is determined)

Round #3

(1) Shot at the same size target as Round #2 / Sudden death until a winner is determined

I will provide a prize for the winner.

I know there are a lot of JK Supporters who cannot attend because of distance, jobs, family, etc. so I don't want to leave you guys out, you can play along at home! Post the name of one of the Gathering attendees (names are in the March Gathering thread) and that person will be your shooter. If that person wins, I will send a Tin Knife your way with your next JK order. You get one pick but you can pick someone that has already been selected. For instance, if three people select Uncle Bill as their shooter, their pic would be Uncle Bill #1, Uncle Bill #2 and Uncle Bill #3 (based on the placement of their selection post, the first person to select Uncle Bill is Uncle Bill #1, etc). If Uncle Bill wins, I will blind draw a number to decide who gets the tin knife. Even though I will technically not be competing for my own prize, you can select me to be your shooter for the "at home" contestants.

Post your shooter selections in this thread.
 
I'm picking outdoorsfan to be my shooter! Looking forward to you doing a good job for us Buddy!

Hey outdoorsfan,thanks for the chance for us can't make its,very cool of you.

Outdoorsfan, thanks for getting us involved even though we can't be there.
 
You know I don't care what anybody says about you guys, and I know you don't either, cause I've heard some of the things they have said about you! LOL! And there is no conceit in my family, because I got it all but, for all you guys that hang out here, and can't make it to the "Gatherings"! I want you all to know that you are hanging out with one of the best bunch of guys that you could ever hope to hang out with, Bar None! And when you put us all together, we have some of the coolest bladeware that you could want to see anywhere!

kyturkey, you know it would have to be a good ole Kentucky boy to even think about making that kind of shot! LOL! Have to tag you Sgt. York! Ha! Ha!

I want to throw my thanks in there too outdoorsfan! Only this group has people that are always trying to think of the other members too! I'm really looking forward to hearing how the competition goes! I figure you are all going to have a job on your hands for that shoot! Hope everyone is practicing up!

Later!

So very true. For a bunch of guys who met through the forums, and from an ad in a magazine, we have all become good "real life" friends. I just wish more of you guys could join us.

Went to Dicks this morning and picked up a cheap Daisy slingshot for $10 (can`t find my wristrocket) and a bag of those glass balls to practice with. Hung a blanket from the floor joists in the basement and put an old rug under it to keep the balls from rolling away. Put an X out of blue masking tape on it for an aiming point, and damn, I`m not half bad!
