I was looking closer at Mike's target, and the circle is a little higher than it should be, and the circle is oblong. To keep it fair for everyone, I would have to say that it wouldn't pass the half ball rule if the circle was circular and centered. I would mark it as a 25, not a 30. Sorry Mike. Still mighty fine shooting.

Justin: I agree whole hardly I dashed together the original target on the way to the range. Never intended to mislead anyone or hurt feelings. I have deleted the original post and replaced it with the circle drawn exactly centered and score corrected. My bad.

. Not a problem. It's hard to centre a circle when you can't see the middle of the x

I used a "compass" to make up 3 more targets - the radius is 1.3125". That way, using the intersection of the diagonal lines,
the circle is centered perfectly (Mike) .

What I did also Dayrl, but I haven't shot it yet.

This was with my heavy .45. Hoping to improve with my lighter rifle next weekend.

Once I knew what the diameter of the circle was supposed to be, it was a simple matter to set up a compass at 1 5/16" radius, and using the intersection of the white and black, strike a circle. That put the circle exactly where it was supposed to be.

I don't think anyone was hurt, Mike. I found it quite amusing and thought IT was (a joke) on purpose.

Daryl: nope just an old guy in a hurry who didn't take the time to build a "proper" target. At 30 points I didn't hesitate to post it figuring ther would be several 35's, 40, 45, and maybe a 50. Everyone else obviously found this target just as challenging as I did. That's the reason I reposted the corrected target.

I made up a target with the computer that can be done in a PDF if anyone wants to use it. I think it can be attached here as a file??? Not sure?

Justin: you must've left Paradise, Mt. and headed back up to B.C. if you're measuring your soup in ml. instead of ounces and a French spelled label. Don't mean to steal your target thread, but we had an outdoor meeting last Tues. night (6' apart ? ) and voted to hold our spring shoot out in Marion again (that'd be the 14th - 17th) and for the "viris" no Saturday night pot-luck. The Tobacco River boys in Eureka had to cancel April, and I guess the Wildhorse shoot W. of Missoula had to cancel on their Forest Service lease for Memorial Day. Will we see ya'?

Yeah, I'm back in B.C. I won't be making it to any shoots in Montana for some time. I might visit in August if Coronavirus is under control.

Here are my two entries:

It was fun, but I could have done better (slightly larger diameter RB instead of the ones I used).

Daryl · « **Reply #62 on:** May 08, 2020, 10:34:16 PM »

Had a great group going on that second target, Paul.
As for larger balls, I used .682's.

Maven · « **Reply #63 on:** May 08, 2020, 10:38:13 PM »

Thanks, Daryl. Those other 2 shots help keep me humble!

Daryl · « **Reply #64 on:** May 09, 2020, 03:20:53 AM »

LOL - they indeed do that, even if there is only one of them.
We'll see how we do tomorrow, or Sunday, not sure which;D

Well, I was going to shoot my target today, but it was minus 7 deg this morning and it snowed last night.

Justin Urbantas · « **Reply #66 on:** May 09, 2020, 05:29:32 PM »

Jeez Bob. Where are you? Here in northern BC it's 20 and sunny

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #67 on:** May 09, 2020, 06:52:46 PM »

BC is currently enjoying the best weather in Canada. Daryl and I are going to give this target a second chance today.

bob in the woods · « **Reply #68 on:** May 09, 2020, 06:56:51 PM »

Eastern Ontario, an hours drive north of Kingston. It's supposed to warm up to plus 2 degrees today.

Bob Roller · « **Reply #69 on:** May 09, 2020, 08:37:34 PM »

Are[ powder burned targets considered as being questionable??

Do like a good hitman would do and put a pillow over the target....

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #71 on:** May 10, 2020, 03:44:42 AM »

I see, or to put it better, don't see Daryl's today target! Come-on Bro......

Shot the target again today just for fun...neither of us did as well as our first effort. But here's mine from May 9th...

Justin Urbantas · « **Reply #72 on:** May 10, 2020, 03:45:46 AM »

Really good group except that flyer.

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #73 on:** May 10, 2020, 03:48:17 AM »

Thanks Justin...but there's two that detract from the score. Goes to show how little of a mistake can make a huge difference. Difficult target.

Daryl · « **Reply #74 on:** May 10, 2020, 03:58:45 AM »

After supper. Wasn't going to post it. LOL $:-\$
I make this -20 - do I win?
Just couldn't get it up.
The high shot, that is arguably in or out, was called.
All the rest felt good. Imagine that.
Same load as before, but pure lead balls this time.
