I live in very rural TIOGA county PA and our gun club has about 200 members and very few members show up at the monthly club meetings.

I am a Board member and was out voted at the last board meeting that voted to ban silhouette/humanoid targets. A few new Board members expressed their dislike of the Official NRA B-27 silhouette target. Our local small town police department holds their semi-annual qualification training on our club grounds and MUST fold the "head" down on the B-27 target to comply with the new club policy! I stated "a target is just a target", but to no avail. I am glad I have a 60-acre farm where I can be a free man.

I understand in the Peoples' Republic of Massachussets the commoner folks cannot shoot at silhouette targets under penalty of lawrrr. I hope this is not the portent of things to come: It has come to my hometown!
