A bit different this week:

It is called a "Novice Challenge" so read the rules carefully.

Also- if you don't have a color printer- that's not important, but I bet being able to see the colors would make it easier!

Again- Good Luck to everyone.

I like this target! This will be a faster competition, but simpler (not necessarily easier). I'll use both hands! Wink

I hope I can shoot it on Wednesday: I'm off work then. I'm off today, too, but it's raining cats and dogs here. Crying or Very sad And I'll be away over the weekend.

Atrocious is more like it! Eek Seven pluses, eight zeros, 5 minuses = total score of TWO.

I shot: Beeman P3 pistol, Beeman 1261 wadcutter pellets, one-handed.

Whatever the rules allow, my answer is that an air pistol is a one-handed, 10 meter, open sighted, offhand gun, and that's how I'm going to shoot it. Wink

Doh! Oh well. I'm still waiting for the weather to clear up so I can shoot. Maybe I can score a '5' if I try real hard!

How are you making out with the digital camera, Jim? Very Happy

I never gave the camera a thought since I'm having so much trouble with the pistol that it really doesn't matter! Mr. Green

Today's just not my day for shooting. After I shot our Week 5 competition, I warmed up good on the 10 m Olympic targets, and still, my best paper was 33 / 50 (though I was proud to have counted an X-ringer among the score! ): not as good as the 36 / 50, 37 / 50, 71 / 100 scores I've been doing lately.

I feel really jittery today: probably too much coffee this morning. Maybe I'll try the Olympic targets again later today.

Jim

Looks like bad shooting's all around today.

I went back this afternoon and tried 3 more Olympic cards: 25 / 50, 32 / 50, 35 / 50. Crying or Very sad

I was very proud, though, that on the "32" card I managed a perfect X! Wink

Hey! So go find some targets and give me some links- there's plenty of space to stick targets in our 'target directory'. I used this one this week because it seemed simple enough ( LMAO ) oops! There was also an "Advanced Challenge" version- with 40 targets on the same size sheet of paper!

If people hunt out targets- I can certainly store them online and people pick/choose ones they'd like to see for the shooting competitions.
