We are in there again... I am working diligently to keep my place in the Top 10 shooters of the Centerfire Class. I am really trying to push my way to the top of the Rimfire Class as well. I have been kickin some serious ass in the rehabilitation of my shoulder and ribs. I am almost back to where I can hold my hunting rifle "off hand", so I will definitely be using the good ol shooting sticks for our hunting season.

Smiley's are a passion now. I can't even begin to tell you how much I look forward to this challenge, each and every time that it comes around. My family is getting a big kick out of it too, which I am really lovin!! To each their own, but I think that more and more families should get their kiddos involved at an early age, and keep the tradition goin!!

Best of luck to everyone, and keep them barrels warm!! Stay safe...

DK

 

[lancetkenyon]

Hmm. I didn't receive my summer or fall targets.

 

[jb1000br]

Lance,

I went back and looked and it seems I never got the email notice from paypal that you sent payment - I see the payment did come thru so you are back in for the rest of the year. Will throw in some extra targets to make up for it

FYI - Fall targets have not shipped yet - they go out OCT6

Jason

 

[z71rat]

JB, if you would, please check out our fundage situation too. Thanks Bro!!

DK

 

[triceratops3]

Didn't get the chance to shoot my targets in time last match. So I'm really looking forward to this one. We'll see if I can improve any.

I was like a kid at Christmas when I walked in the house tonight, and saw my new batch of targets. Now if I could just shoot better.

 

[lancetkenyon]

Oooh. Thanks for the update. Hopefully when I get home from out of town work tomorrow, I will have a batch of targets waiting for me!!!

 

[z71rat]

YES!! We got ours too!! This match is the toughest one to get done with hunting season. I hate to try and shoot unless it is a non hunting weekend. We will do our best!!

DK

 

[Shootnjunky]

Got them

jason,

i got my tgts but the postman corrected the address? 11797 is the street address.

having trouble reaching Mike Lucas? Hope all is well, l left email and phone msg?
not in any hurry..
thanks for this great match!

 

[lancetkenyon]

Went out on Saturday and Sunday to shoot this. Had a blast with my brother, who also shot it. Sending them in ASAP.

I thought I shot OK. But looking at the scores from Spring/Summer....glad I at least had fun! I am around a 137 or so from my count. But I forgot the confidence shot. Next time...next time.

 

[BenY 2013]

Just ordered mine! Can't wait! Thinking of shooting the new AR on the centerfire targets... Can't be any worse than it usually is.

Ben

 

[z71rat]

We need to get this stuff restarted!!

DK

 

[BenY 2013]

I know I keep checking both sites to see if the results have been posted yet. Trying to do everything on this site from now on.

Ben

 

[Hookturnr]

Just heard from JB, he's making the move here as we "speak"

 

[z71rat]

SWEET!!!

Miss this stuff...

DK

 

[rem `06]

i made the switch....

I was wondering if he was at the Euro shot show in Germany?

 

[Niles Coyote]

The force is strong in this one...

 

[z71rat]

Gettin a bit on the giddy side...

DK

 

[jb1000br]

Sorry guys, not yet, had a very sick 4 year old for the last week plus, so was not able to get the results up this weekend. Hopefully by next weekend! Then wrapping up prizes shortly after.

Which brings me to my announcement for the NEXT SEASON...

***IMPORTANT PART - NO MORE SMACK THE SMILEY MATCHES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

Now for the Why? Several weeks ago I found out I have another baby on the way, so the next 7ish months will center around preparing for that and all that is entailed. Long story short, there is just not enough time for everything and this has to be sacrificed instead of very important family time. So I have chosen to put the match on a hiatus until further notice. When I re-start it I will announce it here first.

If you would like me to notify you by email when I start back up or other updates, please email me at [email protected]

I want to thank all the shooters who have participated for 12+ years since I came up with this match as well as the sponsors who made the prizes possible. Without both of you this would have never happened.

Thanks all,

Jason

 

[Bill the Lurker]

Jason,
hope your child is doing better.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the time you have given to run this fundraising match for all these years.
Personally, I have enjoyed the learning process that I have gone through, and I really appreciate the chance to have competed.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Again, thank you,
Bill

 

[Doogie]

Congrats on the addition JB. Glad you are choosing family first. Hope your 4 yr old is feeling better.

This has been a great ride and am grateful for all you have done!

 

[z71rat]

Kids being sick and hurt are heartbreakers to me. As always... Family First!! Congrats on the new addition too!! Thanks for all your hard work in keeping this competition going!

Your efforts, all the sponsors generous donations, and all the benefits to the shooting community, and muchly needed funds and gear for our military men and women is appreciated far beyond words could ever express.

So, until then, take care of yourself and your family. We will be waiting to do some much needed Smackin therapy!! God Bless!!!

DK

 

[z71rat]

Jason, just some food for thought. Have you thought about turning over the reigns to another Hider? I am sure that there are several people that wouldn't mind taking over for you while you are out taking care of your family. Just a thought from my end.

DK

 

[Hookturnr]

Congrats on the new addition! Thanks for running a great match thus far and I, for one, will gladly wait it out and get back on board when you are ready. I'll send an email to get on the list at the site and send along best wishes!

 

[linedrive301ft]

Jason, hoping your young one is on the road to recovery. Congrats on the new addition to your family. Thank you for the STS adventure, I really enjoyed the challenge.

All the best to you and your family.

Mark

DUDE!!! as my wife would say! you know where I stand on this, wishing you the best life has to offer!

12 years? ! Geeze and when did you start me out in the long range Groundhog matches at Mifflin County Sportsman ?

the journey has been well, and for heavens sake , DON'T stay away too long! I'm addicted to this match! I just bought a 17HMR and 2 SCAR Anschutz trainers for this

Blaa Blaa Blaa....

I did hear a request for someone to step in for a bit? ill second that... surely someone can help take the load off JB for awhile to support the cause?

 

[Niles Coyote]

Jason, my thoughts and prays are going out for your 4 year old. And congratulations on the soon to be addition to your family!

 

[BusterB]

Congratulations on the news Jason!
if it helps you feel better, for us the step from 1 to 2 was the toughest, after that it's a piece of cake.
I will truly miss shooting this match, those lil Smiley's certainly have a way of humbling me!
If I can be of any assistance at all if you decide to start things back up, I will be glad to help any way I can!
Brandon

 

[z71rat]

Yep, same here!

DK

 

[rem `06]

I'm going to miss this shoot!!! Grrrrr....

Thank you again for the STS, it's been a lot of fun over the years. Special Thank you too the Sponsors who gave so generously.
I'll miss this and look forward to shooting the STS again.

Mark

 

[z71rat]

Man, I miss this stuff!! Gettin close to a year... still have tears in the eyes.

DK

 

[Cascade Precision]

I know z71rat, I keep hoping against hope that he comes back. Sad.

 

[z71rat]

I’ve been teary-eyed for some time now...

DK

 

[LOBO]

Any updates? I used to shoot this regularly way back when, but I have been away for some years.

 

[z71rat]

No updates at all. This match is possibly to never be reinstated. Sad to say...

DK

 

[Hookturnr]

Sorry to see this one go by the way, It was a fun match and supported a great cause

 

[verdugo60]

It was fun, I'm sad to see it go

 

[z71rat]

This competition actually FORCED me to get out and shoot. I find it difficult most times to get out there and do it. I still have copies of some targets that I still shoot at times.

DK

 

[Woodlanddude]

This competition was good fun. Shot it with another one of the ASC guys from time to time. Won a Dewey cleaning rod one time. I was surprised to see the post again, any chance we will see STS make a resurgence?

 

[Niles Coyote]

This competition was good fun. Shot it with another one of the ASC guys from time to time. Won a Dewey cleaning rod one time. I was surprised to see the post again, any chance we will see STS make a resurgence?

I agree! It was a fun way to track your progress too. Let's hope it comes back.

 

[z71rat]

I had to come back here, just in case! I see that I am not the only one thinkin about smackin’em again!

DK
