Hey- good work. I wouldn't worry about not getting a huge score- at least all your shots found the paper! I think that little Powermaster could've done much worse.

Also- a of couple questions got asked via PM to me- but it would be good for everyone to agree on the answers:

1) What is being scored for the center bullseye circle and then the two, unmarked rings around it? 20, 10, 9 points or are we using the two innermost circles as both 10 points?

2) Are we going to count 'touches' on a higher scoring ring as the higher score? Or does a shot have to be fully within a ring to get the points?

I think for the outer of the two circules it scores 10 and a perfect bull is 10x.

You add up your score, then put the number of X's at the end, so on a tie brake the number of X's wins

Sounds good to me Al- so we have scoring rings of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10(X).

What about lines- higher points for touching the line, or solidly inside the line/circle only?

Alstone · Moderator & Site Supporter

If you touch the line you get the score for that ring "Best edge scoring", apart from the bull which must be perfect.

Okely Dokely- touch the ring, get the points. 10 points and an 'X' for the dead-center bull.

And away we go...

Yay, Jim! Welcome to your next obsession.

Which gun did you manage to purchase?

if no one else competes soon, I'm gonna win by default! AWESOME Mr. Green

AirGunEric · Site Admin

Maybe! At this rate you're looking good. I need to find the time to take some shots when it's still light outside.

aw man Al, you totally destroyed me Thwackin' time

I finished it- using a Phantom .22 cal, Crosman Premier Wadcutters at 20m using a crap 4x20 Crosman scope.

I probably should have sighted it in for 20m before shooting! Angry Splat

Score? 158 X (yes, one dead center bullseye on the D target- probably more a fluke than anything). Yes, I am sucking pretty large with this today. Perhaps I should've taken longer than 8 minutes to do it (3:08pm start, 3:16pm end). Heck, I even managed to have a couple go outside the paper and two shots at 'E' landed on 'C' so I had to cross them out and got zero for them.

Maybe I'll be a bit more careful next time, that or drink less caffeine! Very Happy

I vote for some sort of rest being used on the next shoot!
