Guess I'm first.  Second top target was a bent skirt so I took a mulligan.
Had a wind off to my right, took me till the last couple rows to catch up to it.

Well I'll be number two.
This was shot with my Daisy 753 using a diopter Peepsight at 10 m.
Two target sheets, let me explain. I have discovered when I am on the ball shooting I can put a pellet in exactly the same hole which makes it hard to score and some folks may think that I might be "fudging". So, if I shoot two sheets, then there's one shot per each target makes it so much easier to score there's no confusion. Anyway that's my thought process. I hate the trigger but I love shooting the rifle.

We tried some new pellets today.... Sig Sauer Match pellets... 7.1 grains.  I think they were tumbling.  We couldn't get them to settle down so we went back to the Dead Centers...10.4.  They are hot.   Anyway had a wonderful time shooting with my Dad today.  I did better this match than the last one,  but not much better and Dad still beat me. Nice shooting Charlie especially with peeps.   I'll get back into that after my eye surgery. 👁 Really appreciate everybody shooting with us... look forward to the next one.

Good shooting John! Good shooting Eric! You can't beat a 200, all you can do is increase your "X" count and you guys are doing very very well. I don't know if I can match you guys with the daisy but I'm gonna try and see how it goes - anyway good shootin!!

Here is my entry. This is my first entry into any forum target shooting challenge. I enjoyed the challenge and hope to take part again in the next one. Since I enjoy silhouette shooting and ten meter rifle I decided to go with a standing freehand position and shoot my FWB 601.
