All I did was find the target on the site and print it.

Your talking to a 70 year old guy who knows nothing about computers. Here is a picture of the targets i shot that are printed on 8 1/2x11 paper.

Daryl · « **Reply #27 on:** December 10, 2021, 09:36:35 PM »

If you "get" the picture from the NMLRA web site, it will be correct on standard paper.

I printed a few off last night. It appears that the percentage tab in the PDF is for viewing only. By changing the % you can view larger or smaller views of the target.
It printed the same size target regardless of the percent it was set on.

I shot the December target today and did OK, but won't post a photo until tomorrow. Btw, Nessmuck's suggestion to have a copy of that target next to you on the bench is a good one as the low sun and glare makes aiming difficult. E.g., on our range, we shoot to the SE so this problem is amplified + the target itself is in the shade. Having an extra target on the bench really helped to eliminate some of the guesswork when aiming at "that darn wabbit."

Been too cold to shoot.

It's been unseasonably warm here, which meant a trip to the range for another BP postal match today. Here's my target from yesterday. It's not too bad considering the glare:

Maven: what calibre, rifle, load etc?

Maven · « **Reply #33 on:** December 14, 2021, 11:07:08 PM »

.313 RB, 20gr. Goex FFFg, Taylor. Receiver sight on rifle. I fired this mostly because our range had just re-opened, but I'm not firing for record or competing this month. It just felt good to get out and shoot!

MuskratMike · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2021, 02:13:10 AM »

Maven that top target at a quick glance looks like a 43 1X. Hopefully we get some more shooters but that is one fine target. What do you all score it at?

Maven · « **Reply #35 on:** December 15, 2021, 02:18:26 AM »

MM, I think it's 34-1X, but maybe I'm missing something. And thanks for the compliment!

MuskratMike · « **Reply #36 on:** December 15, 2021, 04:31:15 AM »

Maven you short change yourself. Anything in the center white and black ring is 10 points, any thing in the black "X" is a 10X, the outer ring is 9 points and the body of the rabbit is 5 points 10+10x+9+9+5=43(1x)
Clear as mud?

Daryl · « **Reply #38 on:** December 15, 2021, 09:48:13 PM »

I see a 43 or 44 and a 29 1X - good shooting Paul.
It's -14 here.

Maven · « **Reply #39 on:** December 16, 2021, 12:12:53 AM »

Thanks, Daryl! Unfortunately, that unseasonably warm weather has changed: wet and raw for the next several days, but no snow to speak of.

Daryl · « **Reply #40 on:** December 16, 2021, 05:07:06 AM »

That would be welcome here.

This week, heading down to a chill factor of -26
apparently. That's only -14.8F, but any more, it's too cold for us old folks. At one time
our limit was -20, because springs broke if much colder than that. Then, it was -10, then -5,
now even 0(32F)seems to cold.

Dphariss · « **Reply #41 on:** December 16, 2021, 05:51:55 AM »

The smallest rifle I have is 40 and I just proved the barrels the other day. I do have 36 SMR KIT on order from Kibler but its not here yet.
That’s what I get for living in the Western Mountains I guess.

Been unseasonably warm here but the wind only drops below 20 mph for a day or two. Temps in the +20s right now and it snowed. Wanted to go look for an elk in the new ML season but had a sick dog. Tomorrow I have dentist and eye doc. Then it will warm up again. Have a match to run on Sunday and that’s the last day of the ML season. Sigh… Friend needs a tree eating deer shot. Maybe Saturday.

Daryl · « **Reply #43 on:** December 16, 2021, 07:50:29 AM »

Good luck, Dan.

alacran · « **Reply #44 on:** December 16, 2021, 02:46:46 PM »

Well, I got the targets printed. Now I have to wait for a day where the wind is not too terrible.

MuskratMike · « **Reply #45 on:** December 16, 2021, 07:26:48 PM »

Dpharris: If the 40 ain't ready use what you got, I know you can ace this shoot.

Daryl · « **Reply #46 on:** December 16, 2021, 09:33:53 PM »

-14 (6.8F) today = too cold for this child to be outside shooting.
Looking for some global warming, but it's not happening yet.
