Finally some break in the clouds! I set up...got rained on twice...but managed to get 45 minutes in on this target. Hoping to get back out and add some more time on this in the coming days. Think the color is a bit off, but the tracking was not bad. Did not do too much to it, just happy to have gotten out! Kicks the tar out of my attempt on this target from last year already, but no where near a Crisp!

Nice...my boy is 4, and plays in the i-9 league flag league. We were playing in the 4 and under division but after last season, they forced our team to go into the 6 and under division because they dominated. I know they are just 4, but it is very exciting as I have no football skills at all! Congrats to you and your boy Spike!

Thanks brother Spike! The reprocess a couple comments below does not look bad, can't wait to see what a couple of hours will do to it. Just prayin' for some clear skies.

Thanks guys. It was great to get out after what I think has been months. Mark, funny thing is, I live on the DRY side of the island. At least it has not been non-stop rain...which we did have one year...over 40 days of it...but clouds that just roll in from no where, passing sprinkles...pain in the drain. Sad thing is, we have some really good sky out here, when you can see it, but the weather can change so fast and without warning. What has been been crazy frustrating is that I have learned so much from all of you in recent months,and have not been able to get out and try any of it!
Hopefully I can get out soon and put more time on this. Hope you all have clear skies.

lol, thanks Marc. Like I said, I hope that this is just the starting piece if the weather gods decide to look favorably on me....but of course, as you well know...nothing is ever final....after I posted, I played a bit more and got...
no such thing as a "final"...
