Its kinda hard for me to read the numbers at 25m _________________   Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:14 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" You can color them if you like- but I'm not thinking that will make you a better shot!   Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:43 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Allright- I went out a bit earlier and put one of the targets up, went back 35m (106ft) and without a scope- couldn't see anything but the paper itself! Sure 82ft and 41ft are closer- but the numbers will still be extremely difficult to see. So- unless someone wants to make a version of this with colors ASAP- everyone can color in anything they like to aid their sighting- red, green, blue, polka-dot spots, whatever. For me, I think I'll just color some of the more 'valuable' squares for points and see what happens! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Here it is for downloading (I rotated it as well): Week 3 Target Colored I may just break out my own highlighter and go to work for my own use- I don't want to have to drag out the ancient HP DeskJet to print color! _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I can see why you'd want to do this when the wife is away. Just don't plug the Picasso or one of "Grandma's heirlooms" with lead and you should be OK!   Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2007 9:29 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Well- I got it done today: Start: 6:28pm Stop: 6:34pm Crosman 1077 (modified for accuracy) w/Crosman 0290 red dot (no magnification) Crosman Bulk 7.9gr Wadcutters 75*F, 80% RH, no wind to speak of Result? I still suck: points x quantity 5 x 6 = 30 10 x 3 = 30 15 x 2 = 30 20 x 2 = 40 25 x 3 = 75 50 x 3 = 150 Total: 355 out of a possible 1000 and I missed completely with one shot at the bottom of the paper! I need to either buy a pistol- or use a scope with magnification- I can't see crap apparently beyond about 15 meters without it.   Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 6:51 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Week 3 Start 10.25 am.
