10) Entries need to be scanned or photographed and posted. Please list gun, pellet, sighting device and total time expended.
11) You can enter using both a pistol and a rifle as separate entries, only one entry for each, but all rules must be followed.
12) Score your own target. Winner and Runner-Up will be verified by board officials.
13) An honourable contest for sport- to lie or cheat, is the only real loser. Please keep it above-board!
14) Each competition runs from Monday to Sunday. Your entry must be posted in the forum no later than 23:00 GMT Sunday.
15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others

I will post my target early so I can be in first place for a day. I believe I am setting the bar low.
Steyr LP1 air pistol, Beeman Finale Match pellets, iron sights, one hand, 10 minutes. Score: 70x180

For some reason, at work, I can't view the target you posted but I can view and print the targets listed in the target collection thread.
Can you post the name of the target so I can find it in the collection thread and print it?
Thanks |

No sweat. I printed one at home. It's just not as good a quality as my work printer. I'm shooting now, where I printed the target isn't a factor in my shooting. 
The first 12 dots I tried to shoot slow but I'm still shaking a lot and have muscle fatigue. The last 6 dots and the practice I shots quick for fun. I sighted in the gun before my shoot so it was on.
This is just for the record. I hope over time I'll see improvment.
Benjamin Nitro Piston 1100, 22 cal 14.3 gr wadcutters.
No freeking idea how much time. Didn't worry to much about breaking the rules since I suspect no one will challange my score, (or lack of it  ). Shot for fun and experience.
Not a bad way to spend Sunday morning.  |

Here is my shoot. This was a "close but no cigar" type target. I hit a few. I am pretty new to this, I haven't shot since I was a kid, (now 49 years old) I put a scope on my gun this week, which makes it nice to see what I'm shooting at, but it also magnifies how much the gun is moving around. Thanks!
Air Venturi Bronco
.177 RWS Diabolo
4x32 scope
10 minutes
Score 50/180

| little rickie, I don't think you got the target printed full size. I had trouble printing them accurately as well as I first tried to print them as a web page. You need to save them first as an image to your hard drive, or something like that, I did it differently for the 2 targets I've printed. Honestly, I can't remember exactly what I did but it worked! |

Welcome to AirGunHome Target Shooting Old Joe and nice shooting at a difficult target.
Rickie, as far as I can make out you scored 1 so it can only get better.
Nice shooting Woody as usual.

That one point was just luck. I was aiming for the center of the cluster. |
