Happy to see the start of a new season.  It is nice to see all the participation.  It'll be fun to shoot with you all this winter. I'm looking forward to some good competition.  It's always a fun thing.

I was waiting for some different wad cutter pellets to arrive, but I'll have to use what I have on hand.

Sights: CvLife 2.5 - 10 x 40
Caliber and Pellet: .177 7.4gr H&N Excite wad cutters
Position: Sitting, front rest, shoulder held
Score: 177/200
Other details to share: 10m

I'm not so sure about my scoring but I'll let y'all check it. I used a wad cutter as the hole gauge.
I also don't know how to score a hole that touches the black dot in the center but is not an X.

Ron

Nice shooting, Ron.

Nice shooting, Ron.

Rion

Thank you, Rion.
This is the first time to do anything like this.
I have found that I like it ..... a lot. I should probably should have been a little more
generous on my scoring considering touching the edge of a ring or center than I was.
There's always next time.

I was shooting this evening in the basement and shot a 170x now I wish I would have waited on my entry. Oh well that's the way it goes, you win some and loose some. 

Like a couple of others have ask when does round #2 start?

Great shooting, Charlie.

Awesome shooting everybody! Great shooting Charlie.   Scott,  that's a great Jumper card!  I think I'll start shooting another card with my Diana 34.  Dad and I are looking forward to the next match. 

[avator]

This is not a submission but a plea for help scoring. First of all it was shot at 20 yds and secondly it's a 4.5 target shot with a .22 rifle. And 3rd, this match is over.
But I would like an explanation, if all that weren't the case and this was a legit target submission... how would I score this card?

[Hoosier Daddy]

GREAT turnout guys!
I see Charlie still has it going on!
  I will get the results up and post them here soon.

Bill I will better address the scoring when I am home with a pic, but... if you touch the center bull it's a 10, if you take it completely out that is an "X". (That is the importance of shooting the correct caliber / target.) An "X" is used as a tie-breaker. Let's say two shooters have the same score, but one has a higher "X" count... he wins.
 Breaking a scoring line you take the higher "inner" rings score.

When does the next match begin?

Like a couple of others have ask when does round #2 start?

I started Match #2 this morning (following Monday) it will run for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks Scott. I know it's just casual shooting but I just want to be honest in scoring.

If you post that doctored target I'll save it and use it as referrance.

[splitbeing]

Wow! Another match already!

I have the new arrow going through break in. Still learning it and might post tonight.

Did my usual nra black bull targets last night with the dragonfly and ftt greens on two pumps instead of 1, which usually yields more accuracy and did again. I like the 1 pump challenge but might do 2 on the next. I guess that would be my choice for that class (over the arrow).

Also getting used to the P1 with open sights, but too embarassed to post. Some days better than others.

I saw a submission with all black bulls. I think thatks better for my eyes when using the red dot on the ems.

[splitbeing]

Bill, what were you shooting?
