Inch and half or less on the 5 shot spread....wind was directly head on a 5 MPH but in CO on the Front range....wind is always moving.....I will keep trying but hope this will get me in the club....I am working on long range field targets from wood and steel plates with cow bells for 125-175 Yards when I get the Raptor!

JB.... your target looks good but I need you to take a picture with a ruler across the 4 MOA ring as per rule 6....all targets will have a ruler laid across them with one end on onside of the 4 MOA ring. This way we will eliminate any question to the size of the 4 MOA ring. I also need an exact group size measured center to center of the 2 furthest apart pellet holes.
Post the info and Ill get you added to the list. Thanks

JB.... I added you to the list as an Expert. Congrats and welcome to the Club.

When you shoot paper targets if you put a piece of smooth cardboard behind the paper the pellet holes will usually present a little better.

Great tip
I have been having so much fun shooting at the field targets with reactive covering I rarely use paper

It is a great honor and I intend to work my way up in distance as I improve lol

Way to go JB! Welcome to the club!!!

A word of warning... keep it up and all us metro area long rangers are going to want to come down to ply you with various grill-ables and adult beverages to get to know you (and maybe shoot a little too)!

So seriously, keep it up!

I would like that.....I get tired of talking to the dog...I had a family group visit over the summer and we just had a blast under the shooting awning....
I am thinking we need a Extreme Field Target range in CO so that would lead to something right?
