Well, this contest sure helps us out.

I realize , that I need to slow down, as its not a speed event.
And we both need to practice alot more on our stance and grip.
The boy tends to hit all over the paper, but to keep him honest I watch every shot. There is one that I canceled out, because it was a low shot, from the target he was aiming at. We arent counting "LUCKY" hits.

This sure is fun, as it gives us both something to "TRY" to get better .
And it will show as time goes on. As it has already.
Like the boy did twice as good as the last time.

Thanks for all your time involved in this Alstone. It is a really neat and fun thing that you have going on here.
We look forward to more.

Sincerely ,
Dusty

Nice going lads, I see we have a bit of competition at the top end, and Dusty and his son are improving each shoot.

Dusty if you break the line on a target the highest score counts, so I have re-calculated both your scores.
