Same with me, I’m only getting the corner

Hmm, did you print straight from the browser or downloaded it to your computer first?

Maven · « **Reply #27 on:** June 07, 2023, 01:40:19 AM »

I had trouble as well, but if you download the target as a pdf and print from wherever your computer sends the pdf, you'll be fine. Btw, I'm using an Apple, not a PC and the Apple sends it to the top of the screen marked by a downward facing arrow in a circle. Hope this helps!

Aw Seth, you gave away my secret. Offhand, my rifle might as well be a shotgun! Richard, I already claimed the zero center as mine! You'll have to aim for the corners.

Make sure your print preview reads 100%. Had to adjust mine and it printed correctly.

My first attempt. A 46 or 37. I’ll let someone else call it. Stepped off 25 long paces this time😲 .36 caliber percussion Bedford style longrifle. 30 grains 2F .018 denim patch, .350 ball.

I shot three targets yesterday while I was helping a buddy sight in his new flintlock...I scored them 28, 27, and 26 - nowhere near good enough. But here they are anyway.

It's about as evil as I hoped for:

I was struggling today, so the results is more case of luck than skill.

I'll definitely try this again.

That's an awful good target Chuck!

okawbow · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2023, 10:44:00 PM »

Thanks, I had perfect light. Could see the sights and target really well. I tried again a couple hours later and put my third shot off the scoring part of the target. The sights on my rifle are so low and fine, I can only shoot a half dozen shots before the sights are blurred by heat waves.

54 cal hawken style rifle bought at the Log Cabin Shop a couple years ago using 35gr of 3f Goex.
This was my 3rd target, first 2 I threw a couple zeros trying to hit the corners.

Maven · « **Reply #36 on:** June 12, 2023, 07:40:54 PM »

Quite the target, WVrazd!

Some darned good targets fellows. Have been abusing my pistol arm at Friendship. Hope to shoot this match sometimes this week.

rich pierce · « **Reply #38 on:** June 14, 2023, 03:01:14 PM »

I’m not getting any better at this one but it’s intriguing so will keep at it.

Pukka Bundook · « **Reply #39 on:** June 14, 2023, 04:01:31 PM »

Rich,
I prefer the 'X" marked on a board with charcoal.
The sort of target you can mark the 'X' after you've shot the hole!

I could learn to like that kind of target!

Jakob · « **Reply #41 on:** June 15, 2023, 01:17:00 AM »

What does people think of the 'easier' smoothbore target?. Wasn't sure of how much to balance it out, but I wanted to try to make them a little more 'competitive'?

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #42 on:** June 15, 2023, 07:36:55 PM »

With the whole black area scored 10, there might be more perfect scores. I've been trying to keep track of the scores on this one, and so far, I think 46 is high score...nice shooting.

Jakob · « **Reply #43 on:** June 27, 2023, 09:16:10 PM »

A few days left!
Okawbow currently has the lead with a 46. Anyone still plan on challenging this?

Maven · « **Reply #44 on:** June 28, 2023, 01:27:50 AM »

If the weather clears, there's chance I'll shoot it, but challenge a 46? Not in this life!

Daryl · « **Reply #45 on:** June 29, 2023, 09:34:58 PM »

Looks like Chuck(Okabow) with a 46 and WVrazd with a 45, to me.
Good shooting, lads.

Jakob · « **Reply #46 on:** July 01, 2023, 01:07:18 AM »

I concur.

okawbow · « **Reply #47 on:** July 01, 2023, 03:16:24 PM »

I guess I need to come up with a plan….maybe we can play a little golf?
