Thanks to the Forum Users and Happy Holidays!
Looking back on my first season in silhouette I feel very lucky to have stumbled onto this sport and especially this forum.
In April I discharged a firearm for the first time in 15 years and shot my first smallbore rifle sil match in May, scoring 11/60. I found it pretty intimidating at first, and had my doubts that I could ever shoot competitively. I had a lot of beginner questions and once I found Steel Chickens you were all so helpful here in coaching me and answering my questions, whether they were about equipment, ammo, technique, practice, or whatever.
In today's local match I reached and exceeded my aggressive goal of shooting 40/60 by the end of the year, shooting 42/60 for my first ever AAA score (just barely). Thanks to Tim Finley for letting me shoot his standard class Annie 64 for my all-time best. I truly believe that I have this forum and our local shooters to thank for my recent growth as a shooter and for reaching my personal goal for the season.
I cannot name all of you here, but I want to send out a big thank you to all the veteran shooters here at Steel Chickens who have been so forthcoming with your valuable knowledgeable advice and assistance. Have a great holiday season and thanks for making a newby's experiences at silhouette shooting so enjoyable and rewarding.

Congrats on the 42/60, that's impressive!
I couldn't get a kitchen pass for today, but if I get back from SanDiego Saturday I'll be there next Sunday.
Happy Holidays to one and all, and thanks as well for the input given to this newb.......

Usually shooting scores right in class, too bad its the class below my classification!
