Love the target!!!

Nice that us vertical dispersion holders can aim for the middle button and get a hit.....

and, is it me or is the nose slightly not centered? Nefarious!!

Will try to shoot this soon....

I looked at the target, and thought, Hey, the 10m bullseye is
a dot. How hard can a nose be?
But, the nose is sitting in a head, with a hat, and from
distance, there is like no sight picture. I keep wanting
to center the hat, or the head and hat, and not just the
head. So, missed a lot of noses. (And, only by a nose!)

The body was easier, center the body in the peep, and
hit the button. Tended to let the shot go if I was up a little,
as I had margin of error in the vertical.
(Didn't want to miss low!)

Harder than I first thought it would be.

Wow that was tough.
I have not been able to shoot much lately and that was some welcome back.

A very tough target, I was hoping for 50% but didn't quite make it.

Score 40/120

That was a difficult target. I think you should make the nose smaller for next Christmas! I am really enjoying this, thanks Alstone.

I was able to get back outside this week so I shot at 10m.

I wasn't going to post but I got one point randomly. All were attempted button shots.

My test shots we done at the end with a bench rest just to make me feel good.

Any pointers on steading my hold?

L. Rickie, You are not getting the target printed full size. I'm using XP with a Firefox as the browser.

Click on the target from Alstone's post.

A seperate browser page will open with the image. Do not print this page.

Right click on the image and select "Save as..." I save it to desktop.

Once the image is saved to desktop, right click on it and select "print" or

open the image (it opens in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) and print from the icons below.

This is what works for me, but check that the green dot is actually 12 mm and the blue border should be just inside the paper.

Shooting accurately at such small targets is difficult!

Some nice shooting this fortnight the target seems to have narrowed out the differences.

LittleRickie keep trying mate your getting there, get the target the right size and concentrate on shooting without a bench rest, also post what gun you are using.
