We're using the bullseye target- but distances are bit odd, 7.5m for pistols, 15m for rifles.
20 shots total, Bullseye counts for 30, other shots for the point value indicated- EXCEPT for the inner ring- which is a "no score" ring.
Be sure to read the rules:

Ah; so the game is: are you dumb enough / adventurous enough to run the risk of "wasting" one or more shots trying to hit that elusive 30 point bullseye? And are you good enough to achieve it? 
I'm not sure if I can get out to shoot today: I'm home, but still sick; and the weather isn't raining, but looks as though it wants to.

OK I am going to ask some dum dum questions here. 
How many shots are allowed to put in the same number or the bull's eye 
Or are we suppose to try to shoot at each number
Or are we suppose to try to put all of our shoots in the highest number possible
Or what happen if we put more then one shot in a number or in the bull's eye
____________________________________________________________
8) Scoring is counted for the bullseye and the outer ring numbers ONLY. The inner ring, or layer between the bullseye and the outer ring, does not count for points.
9) Touching borders counts for the points assigned to the highest possible point value. For example, if the inner ring border is hit below the '20' marker- it is considered to be 20 points |

Sure ~ now that you've won 3 in a row.

For me ~ 20 bull's, anything less for you would give me a better chance at actually winning once . . .

You do that and I'll work on 20 @ 30pts

That's what I'm going to attempt, and if you shoot at each number I'll have a better chance {didn't I already say that?}

To be just a little serious -
6) 20 shots at the target with 5 sighting/practice shots not on the clock using a different print-out of the target. Maximum point count is 600.
 Good luck {even though I probably need it more}  |

J. Firmed that up pretty good by pointing out Rule #6. 600 points maximum would mean all shots were on the bullseye (20 shots times 30 points each).
And yes, Jim, that is the "catch"- try to shoot all 30s and you may end up alot further behind. |

Well nobodys said anything about pellet size, so if you want to win J try one of you magnum .357 or whatever, the bigger the pellet the easier to win.

I knew it would be difficult: but with the lack of contrast, the "30" was the easiest thing for my eyes to focus on, so that's what I aimed at.
30 X 3
20 X 2
6 X 1
1 X 1
13 misses = 137 total
Beeman P3 .177 pistol, one hand, unsupported, iron sights, Beeman HN Match wadcutter pellets
Clear skies, cool temperature, light breeze, light conditions alternating between bright and dark.

You know Jim these targets are getting harder to hit, I'll have to get a bigger printer.

Well, I still suck! Really need to dump the low-end scopes still- couldn't get this one to focus on the target at 15m! So I shot into the "fuzzy center" for best results. 
Crosman 1077
Crosman 4x15 scope
Crosman .177 Wadcutters (bulk)
Shooting time: 6 minutes
Score:200

You should have stuck with the number 19, you were going well there.

Just a thought after reading some of the posts on here, for an airgun site most people can't see! It's a good job you lot aren’t Surgeons.
