Wow, this is a hard target. I shot a 40 on Sunday and another on Monday. Tonight I shot two 65's. Please take a look at the 2nd from the right in the top row and let me know if you would consider that a hit or not. I think I need to learn some patience while shooting too. Trust me I will keep trying on this one!

Getting better little by little. The second one from the left in the top row looks like a hit in this reduced size image, but in real life it is just merely close.

Just got back from backpacking, took a shower and thought, "hey, I haven't shot in a while." My second target was pitiful. I am creeping on you cajun. You had better get out and shoot soon.

Not bad for your first time. I had a problem with the flies moving on me while I was shooting. :lol: It looks like a hit to me.

I am posting a tip in the rules. It states that handling, and scanning closes up the holes. So when a hit is on the line it doesn't quite appear so because the hole has closed up. Us a 22Lr bullet to open the holes, lay target on scanner with lid up. This will show a much better pic. Some of mine almost closed completely up. I will also repost my target so you can see how much better the hits looks.

I know they were moving on me. I was hoping a bigger scope was the answer! ;) After the first 10 shots I had to get up and move around after each shot. Not only was my neck killing me, but my eyes were blurring badly. I was feeling bad about posting that target. The more I looked at it, the more I thought no one is going to believe that one. It definitely looks better in real life. I guess I will try your tip and do a repost.

Try as hard as I might, I don't seem to be able to beat my score. Yesterday I duplicated it, with 20-30 mph gusts of wind. I keep telling myself that means I am better. Today the wind was gusting up to 50 mph, so I didn't even try. Maybe tomorrow.

Man that would probably blow the fly's off the target. :o

[mrcosmos]

That is exactly what I was afraid of! :lol:
