I see Dan’s first target as a 38/17. 38 total points and 17 for the high score. His second target scores 50 total points with 17 as the tie breaker. Someone could still beat him with a 50 and a higher hit than 17.
I agree 38

My attempt. .350 ball, .013 linen patch, 20 grains 3f. 25 yards offhand. I score it as a 53/20. Missed the 9 and hit the 12, or could have beat Dan’s score.🤠

Nice.
Darn! Just .2”to the left and I would have been off the hook.  ;D

Interesting. I would have scored that one a 36.

Yesterday I shot the Patoka Valley Longrifles June aggregate. Four 25 yard offhand targets, two 50 yard offhand targets, one 50yard rest target, one 100 yard rest target and a25 yard 10 shot pistol target. A total of 50 shots. PVL is located in Southern Indiana. It was a hot and sticky day.
So even though I was tired and sweaty, I gave a go at one of this months targets.
My plan was to hit a 20, three 5 and a 15. That plan went by the wayside when I hit a 12. I tried to hit an 8 but I missed the scoring area altogether.
By the time I finished that, I was too tired to try again. Hopefully I will get one more shot at it this coming week.

A center line hit counts as the higher number. When viewed in person, the ball was slightly on the 18 side anyway.

Your call, of course.
I was simply looking at the distance from the outside lines to the ball's hole. Enlarged on my phone, it appeared to be a 1, is all.
Not that it matters.

It's only a perfect score, but I guess it will have to do.
Well done, Dan. ;D

OK Looking for a target. I should not have shot so early I guess.
