1) Target to download and print: Week 85; May/11>May/17/2009

1)Print to full-size on an A4 or 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.
2) Shooting distance is 5m/16.4ft for pistols.
3) Shooting distance is 10m/32.8ft for rifles.
3a) The rules for shooting 5m or 10 m are that the distance from the target to the firing line should be 10m for rifle and 5m for pistol.
All shots, from whatever shooting position must be made with the competitor wholly behind the firing line but able to touch it.
Basically the shooter should be behind the line but the part of the gun not being held by the shooter can protrude past the line.

6) NO rests or steadying aids are allowed.
7) 28 shots total, 2 per target maximum. Up to 5 sighting/practice shots not on the clock using the Green
8) 15 minutes total time (take whatever amount of time for each shot you like, but at 15 minutes-stop!).
9) Scoring is 10 points for red, 5 points for black, and no points for white. Only two hits per Squirrel/Rabbit counts. Maximum point count is 280.
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

Looked at the target? Air gun silhouette! I've done this both smallbore and highpower, rifle and pistol. Sounds neat. But what is this red dot?
Great! Have to hit the dot.
Print it out, mount it up go into position.

Can't see the red dot. Really. Not at all.
So, pretty much, take a sight picture, try to guess where the dot it, and let fly.
(If the dot was different per animal, it would have been a real nefarious target!)

In retrospect, I should have taken the best sight picture I could have, and then adjusted the sights to hit the red dot.

I forget what my time diff is to GMT but I'm pretty sure I'm too late. But here it is... shot this a few days ago - I've got to get back in the habit of posting when I shoot.

2300 BSA Scope 2x

185/280 ~ caveat a few of these were hard to score, I did my best with a spare wadcutter over the hole and guessing a little.

I thought Brutuz and myself had cracked it this week, but a couple of crafty sod's crept in on the bell. Mr. Green

So!

The winner is oatring with 235/280
The runner up is Bean with 185/280
