Good shooting Bob.

I'll say!  Good shooting, Bob. 50/50 by the looks of it.

[D. Taylor Sapergia]

Nicely done Bob...that's what a good set of targets looks like.

Thanks all. There's still lots of time for someone to score higher.  I know that there are a few here who are equal to the task !

Good shooting at a surprisingly tricky target, Bob.  I'd have aimed for the center as well.

I tried that and ended up with a ball that could be attributed to 3 of the 4 quadrants. Just a lucky
shot.  It takes fine shot-placement indeed, to make a 50/50 score on this target.

2 of my sets were too bad to post. Got lucky one morning slight overcast, warm weather and zero wind. Used my .40 Kibler SMR. 60 grains Goex 3F .015 ticking patch with TOW mink oil, and a .395 Hornady balls. Frankly I have no idea how I got this lucky.

The "Muskrat" was shooting his flintlock. In fact that is all I shoot now days. Becoming a flintlock snob.

[Daryl]

Well done Mike. I will now have to print off same size targets (bit of fiddling with "paint" I assume) for measuring.

[D. Taylor Sapergia]

Very nice shooting Mike.  This is a solid competition!

[Daryl]

I was able to size them the same, even though there were 4 different sizes as printed. LOL
Took over 20 sheets of printer paper, but got both matched up.
Mike's target scores 17.082" compared to Bob's 19.154" - thus, Mike's ahead by 2.072".
Really good shooting, both of you!!

[Daryl]
