Good shooting, everyone.....and I'm glad the plugs are making scoring easier.Mike
michaelthomasThomas BR LVJSB 8.44Sightron 36xFront rest/Rear bagOutdoors 90 degrees N 4-9 mph200/200 18xI shot .177 caliber on the .22 target and scored it with a .22 plug. I placed a 2nd target to the left of the scored target to use for sighters. If you other guys don't do that.....I would recommend it. Most hold offs were from the inside of the black to about where the number 8 is on the target. I wanted to take video of the card viewed through the scope, but could not manage to see anything due to the glare of the sun. I'm going to need some sort of shelter or at least shade over the rear of the gun and scope. I took a short video of conditions while shooting.For the guys scoring their targets without plugs.....be aware that a .22 doesn't make a .22 hole in paper.....it's much smaller. It also depends greatly on the type of paper. Get a plug. You're shorting yourselves by scoring with the edge of the hole. I think Kim may have picked up a few more x's with a proper caliber sized scoring plug. It's pretty hard to tell by the ragged holes......but super clear with a plug.I told Kim I would turn some plugs.....and now that I think of it, when i get a chance I will make 30-40 of them and send them to an admin to distribute for these matches. Mike
I turned 20 or so of the .224 scoring plugs today. I'm not going to charge for them, but will just mail in a plain envelope with stamp.You can PM me if you want one. Please don't get a scoring plug if you don't currently shoot the matches......or don't intend to.I'm happy to make them for the guys that are competing.Thanks,Mike

PappyWhen I wrote the bird dog thang, somebody's bird dog avatar was on nearly everybody's post but they fixed it in less than an hour.I had cataract surgery with minor complications a week ago so I'm not sure about shooting yet. I don't think I've used that excuse before?
