There will be only so many guys/gals they can get through with the time allowed. I'm sure more donations are very welcome, though.

Yeah, unfortunately, the Bow Shop isn't really designed as a big competition facility. They have room for 2 lines of 8 shooters in their regular range, so that's 16 at a time and 2 shooting times, so 32 shooters on Saturday. Plus a Friday night line for another 16.

And then they're taking over the gun range on Saturday, so there's another 2x8 times 2 lines for another 32. That's 80 shooters in all.

Well, the 'shoot' starts tomorrow and I have been raising money via pledges. I wasn't having any luck, so in order to give people further incentive, I promised to do something. I told them if I was able to raise $200.00, I'd do this...

Before:

After:

I have $360.00 in pledges (so far) heading up with me to The Bow Shop tomorrow evening.

So, I'll be the bald guy in the pink shirt if anyone else is there.

Its a very good thing you did Dirty Gun, and for a good cause.

Back in my chemo days I of course had the clumps fall out so I decided to shave it "to the bark" like yours. The following night was agony as a lay my head on my pillow, it felt like I was being stabbed with millions of tiny needles. So I followed up with duct tape to acheive the chrome dome look :shock: :lol:

From the barber's chair I went right home and got out the razor. My wife can't stand my 'shiny head', so I'll be letting it grow in a bit.

She understands how near and dear to my heart this cause is, though, so she doesn't mind it in that respect.

You in Angus DirtyGun? Went to Wolf's Den last weekend and lined up bow, then through the week I took a spacer off my scope mount. Fired 10 shots from bow yesterday. Just hope I don't hit my nabours target this morning!!! LOL
