October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!
The October target is going to require a little more precision as the 10-Pt Bullseyes are close to the outer edges of the target area. If you play it safe you will only score 12 points if all your shots hit the candy corn background.The usual three categories: rifle, smoothbore, (smoothbore must not be equipped with rear sight - front sight/bead only) or handgun
Two ways to shoot: Offhand from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun.
Bench rest/supported from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun
Mark the box on your targets as either rifle or smoothbore or handgun and either offhand or benchrest/supported.
I've been receiving questions on how to participate in this monthly contest. For new participants, download the pdf file at the bottom of this post and print it full size. Post your target by taking a picture of it with the information filled in and scored by you and post it back to this thread.
6 shots for score - 2 Shots per Bullseye - additional hits in the same Bullseye will count as 0
Hit the bullseye for 10 points. Hits in the rest of the candy background area count 2 points. Shoot 6 shots for score - 2 at each 10-Bull.
Ball must be half way into the target area to score points. Maximum score is 60 pts.
(TIP: If possible, print your target in grayscale mode - lightens the background slightly. You are welcome to print in color if you so choose)
Shoot as many times as you wish but please only post one target per category with pictures of target (and gear, if possible - we love to see everyone's equipment and load data!) Post jpg or pdf formats. Please score your own targets and write your score on the target along with information on the load you used and other info including rifle/pistol or smoothbore, bench or supported. If you do not check the boxes I won't know where to post your scores. I will check scores and it helps me if you will draw a line to each hole in the target and write your points for each shot - makes it easier for me to check the targets.
Prize is same as always - bragging rights on the forum!
I will be posting September results later this week.
Have fun!
Gary
