THIS IS A FORTNIGHTLY TARGET, SHOOT ANY TIME IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

Target to download and print: Fortnight 91; July27>August 9/2009



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.
4) All targets to be shot standing
5) Any sighting device may be used.
6) NO rests or steadying aids are allowed.
7) 20 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 as marked on target. Only two hits per target count. Maximum point count is 200.
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 for 2 weeks. Your entry must be posted in the forum no later than 23:00 GMT on the last Sunday.
15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others

Please make sure that the blue border is visible on your entry, plus the green dot is 12mm diameter on A4 paper.

Al

okay, cute target. Picks your poison, takes your chances.

So, print it out, post it up and head back to position.
I was so glad that they weren't bullseyes that I completely overlooked
that they were tiny dots. But, back in position? Can't see a thing.
Okay, so, trying to decide on a sight picture, maybe aim at a border or so?

Twisted the front sight way down, and tweaked the rear.
Oh, what is that? a small blur? Okay, I can shoot at a blur.

Had a go. Shot pretty quickly as there really wasn't anything to dress up.
Almost cleaned it. Crying or Very sad

I like these "fun" targets. A distinct "change of pace" from the boring bullseyes I shoot every day. One of the reasons I keep doing this contest.

I have the target printed and sitting in my cabinet. I haven't been doing well with small bulls recently, I've spent too much time shooting at a 1 inch combined (and solid black) 9/10 ring/bull. I have a sheet of .25 inch dots I shoot at from time to time. Not so good recently. I might have to shoot for 8's. If not tonight then tomorrow.

Well! a pretty poor showing this fortnight, but never the less it puts me on the sheet. Smile

Get well Brutuz and enjoy your holiday. Thumb Up!

OK then so this weeks results are:

The winner is oatring with 190.
And the runner up is Al with 132.


Nice shooting again oatring.

Al

Sorry guys, I shot it and flat out missed the deadline (that just shouldn't be an issue with a 2 week window of opportunity) I won't bore anyone with details but just say that the results would not have changed at all.

If I can get the current target to download I'll shoot it AND post it tonight :-)

If you can't get the target to load then pm me with an email a/d and I'll send it to you
