I may be a little late - but, Welcome Aboard! Take a look at FORUM: PENNSYLVANIA for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to the great state of PA. Also, thanks for upgrading to Charter Member status!

Thanks Jim for supporting T-Net!​

Welcome to the forum.
The dirt will soften up later this fall.
It won't hurt as bad when you drop down on your knees to retrieve the targets.
Best of luck 👍

Welcome Jim from the Treasure Coast. I'll be 76 in a couple of months, been lucky, I guess, I can get down on my knees, it's the getting up that's getting harder. Sand scoop handle at the beach and short spade on dry land are a big help. Better yet get a grandkid to do the digging.

Buy a lesche shovel to dig your targets and use it to help you get back up. I had knee replacement and it has helped me.
Welcome to the site sir!
