Downloaded the target that Steven V shot. Hope to make use of it shortly. And yes, the "X" is off-center.

Oh well, an X is an X!

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #77 on:** July 12, 2018, 03:11:14 AM »

Who cares where in the "X"ring the "X" is printed? Remove the "X" with the first or second ball...there, that's better.

Easy for you to say, Taylor!

Fired at the target today. Didn't really matter where the "X" was though! I'd score it (attached below) as 33-0X.

Let me solve the "X mystery".

When i made the target in Open Office Draw I did the numbers and the X across one text box. It's the whole text box that's slightly off.

I'm alibiing with 71 year and 355 days old eyes.

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #81 on:** July 18, 2018, 06:05:07 AM »

There's nothing wrong with the target. From 25 yards, No one can see the letter "X" on the bull anyway, I submit!

Daryl · « **Reply #82 on:** July 18, 2018, 06:45:33 AM »

The X in the bullseye does not matter at all - I was just joshing about it not being in the exact centre - it matters not.

I knew you were kidding about it but thought I'd explain it.

Daryl · « **Reply #84 on:** July 19, 2018, 03:10:03 AM »

I have the targets printed - maybe Taylor wants to shoot this before the end of the month? huh - Taylor?

Craig Wilcox · « **Reply #85 on:** July 19, 2018, 04:33:55 AM »

I am going to have to bail out on this and the next couple month's postal shoots. Looks like a whale of a good time, and some good joshing amongst competitors.

But, going to be laid up for about 3-4 months. My heart will be with all of you - hoping to see some 5-X targets posted.

Hmmmm. May use my shotgun.....

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #86 on:** July 19, 2018, 10:12:03 PM »

Five shots at 25 yards with a 12 gauge ... something like 475 pellets per shot x 5...should give a decent group. But how to score it?

alacran · « **Reply #87 on:** July 24, 2018, 01:29:42 AM »

Not many targets posted. I shot this on 21 July. Started out pretty good. Being a cheap SOB, I was trying to squeeze all the life I could from my flint. On my fifth shot I had a kletch. I looked at my flint and it still looked and felt sharp. But I needed to move it forward. Just as this happened the RO called a two minute warning. I loosened the jaw and realigned my flint. Mind you I had already shot close to thirty shots with this flint. So I get on target squeeze and kletch---Boom. Long story short three tens a nine and Maggie's drawers. A 39, O well.

Well Mc Scrooge Alacran. What page of excuses is that hang fire on?

Daryl · « **Reply #91 on:** July 25, 2018, 05:48:54 AM »

Alcran, Taylor and I shot the postal match today as well. I also shot a 39 with 4 of my shots. LOL I think Taylor has the targets.

alacran · « **Reply #92 on:** July 25, 2018, 03:35:03 PM »

Little Joe, It is on page 3 of your book. Right after " I missed because my liner blew out of the barrel" LOL.

You got your books mixed up. mine is the thick one. Liner page 67.

little joe · « **Reply #94 on:** July 25, 2018, 09:54:45 PM »

Forgot to mention, darn good target for 4 shots.

Baer Killr wants in on the action as soon as his human gets healed up. I just got my left shoulder replaced last week.

Daryl and I went out yesterday and shot the postal match. My only comment: we both need to practice a lot more paper target shooting. This is not as easy as I thought it would be, and no where near what it was fifty years ago!! Here's our targets, and the rifles we used to do it.

I shot a 49 2X after this one, but this is the one I called for score.

alacran · « **Reply #97 on:** July 26, 2018, 02:19:39 PM »

Taylor I found that small target to be a real strain. The harsh white background glares in the Arizona sun. Might print it on some tan paper next time.

Daryl · « **Reply #98 on:** July 26, 2018, 09:01:18 PM »

That's enough fooling around with scratch locks. I'm going to use my

cap gun next time - might not be for a while, though.

heelerau · « **Reply #99 on:** August 09, 2018, 03:12:32 AM »

Talor, I tried to access the target on IMGUR, I just bring up my own account. I can print out the other target that is further down this string, will that be ok? I will be able to shoot it next week

cheers

Gordon
