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!

Nice change of pace - I shot up to 10 bullseye based matches a week. I don't mind bulls but looking at something different was nice. Without my scope this would have been a bit tougher. Still good size targets but I would have been aiming at the 'target' insterad of scoring areas.

gun: 2300 w/2-7 BSA Pistol Scope
Pellet: Beeman Wads .177
Dist/Pos: 5m / Standing / 2 Hand
Score 121
Time < 11 Min (slow for me - had to keep changing the scoring areas)

Okay, haven't shot in a while, as I have been shooting other events.
(Sorry, I shoot other things than air)

Saw the target, and thought it looked neat, so I printed it out and
had a go. The 'head' shots weren't too bad, but the body shots were
way off. No sight picture. Just hold and pray.

Actually stopped the clock when I realized there was no air in the cylinder.
If you look carefully, you can see an indent in the paper where a pellet
bounced off the target (right near the green dot, just above the '7')
Quickly changed cylinders and was back in business.
(newbie mistake.... not checking how much air is in the gun!)
