    Maybe some good old fashioned pampering from you may help his recovery. Nothing too much, clean and polish his pistols, do a bit of DIY for him and serve him his meals in his favourite chair while he watches the TV. Just a thought!

    Good luck, Phil
    I'll take VERY good care of him, Phil. I am sure he will be up and shooting in no time. Thanks for all of the good wishes, fellows!

    He hasn't got black powder smuts in it has he ?



    Give him my bestregards & wish him a speedy recovery !

    Cheers

    Roy

    PS - tried one of those big LazeeBoy chairs when we were out in Ohio last time - do you think he needs one to 'be comfortable' in ? - he could always get the one with the pistol rest attachment

    Thanks, Everyone!

    I went to the eye doctor yesterday - no, no black powder problems! - but I do have a definite scratch and a possible infection. I have to keep the contact lens out of my left (dominant, stronger, shooting) eye and return to the doctor on Thursday, so will have a lot of shooting to catch up with (and I hope I am able to) this weekend.

    PhilG, Sol, I got your Police scores. Everyone else, feel free to send them to me. Regardless of what happens, I will post scores as per usual schedule.

    That's sort of good news Jim. At least there's no permanent damage. Take very good care of yourself my man

    Thanks, Paul.

    Will get back with everyone on Friday and let you know how my doctor's appointment worked out.

    In the meantime, I think an eye-patch could well add a touch of exoticism to your frock coat and frilly shirt attire.

    Have you seen Jim? That would make him look like Adam Ant's dad!

    Glad to have you back with us, Jim.

    Remind me to tell you a funny story about "the pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean that I look like"!
