Guys, 14 treatments done —14 to go, 3 more weeks. Modifying my diet has helped my gut issues.
We shot our BAMM today. I think we had 6 boltgunners and 6 cowboys. Shot it clean but still had a miss- a dead pistol primer. Doh. Came in 3rd boltgun category, had a real bad 1st stage with weak ejections and a loaded round that kinda got stuck and wouldn’t feed through my 1896 Krag SRC. Finally cleared it. I had chamber checked all of my loads but not run them through the magazine. My first match with it and I think I also wasn’t working the bolt hard enough to the rear as I was running it too fast. Did better on the other stages but I will check out the ejector. Used a pair of Smith .455 HE’s and my Norinco trench. Also tried my new Swede for the last stage. Nice day, good breeze, a fun shoot. Here’s Chance, Rico Fardan and myself in uniform. We dress the part.

Thanks for the good report! Praying for you here still. Sorry your Krag was having "issues", hope it is a simple and easy fix.
Thanks for the pic!

Guys I’ve finished my radiation treatments Friday. Now I get a chance to heal up from getting zapped like a microwave turkey dinner and have my psa and testosterone levels checked every 4 months. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers sent my way. We are shooting a Josie Wales/cas match next Saturday. Haven’t done one of those in years. ‘You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?’

My Urologist told me they have to wait 6 months after a needle biopsy to do another PSA test.  Well, I just got the results of that, back down to 3.72 and I am very happy! 

Ed, hope you are doing okay!

It’s been a year. Hot flashes and sensitive titties are over. My recent Psa was almost nothing. I’m still struggling with night visits to the bathroom though. Some nights its 2-3 hrs but I have done 5 hrs. Started a   new job.  Working in produce part time at a local Food Lion. Started in November. Doing 6000-9000 steps a shift. Working with good guys. I like it. Not very hard, 40# banana boxes and 50# potatoe bags, good pt.
Tomorrow we shoot another BAMM. Going to use my cut down 1903 and a new build, a No1 Mk3 Dispersal sporter rifle that is now 5 inches shorter than it was. Not a sporter anymore either. Pix tomorrow. Take care.
I just got my app installed so heres my SSMLE [Shortened Short Magazine Lee Enfield].
