15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others

Hi Al,

Glad to see the comps back again! Smile

One question though: is the red, sighting in dot for this month's target still supposed to be 12mm, like the other targets? For some reason, the closest I can get it is 16.65mm (without getting the ads at bottom of page)??? Never had that issue before... Huh?

I didn't see a note in the rules stating the size (12mm) of sighting dot, so thought I would ask to make sure targets are correct size.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi,
If the dot measures 16.65mmthen that’s what it is. Smile

I used an old target and never thought about the sizing, as long as the target fits on to a piece of A4 then it's Ok.

Cheers
