    Well, I decided to give it a crack this lunch.

    After 4 starts where I hit between 2 reds with the first shot(do I even score 1?) I managed to get stuck into a 65.

    Jesus! the black don't help much,...... so dark I couldn't get a bead on it, just guessed.

    Maybe worth thinking about a broader white line between them Jim, I'd rather have a slightly smaller target but with a clearer outline. (just my opinion for what it's worth)

    Firstly we didn't want it to be too easy

    Secondly are you just trying play mind games with your 1 score to your 64 score

    And thirdly are you panicing abit because you won the Snooker shoot at the 'MEET' & want to win again














    p.s good score by the way

    Serious point raised by Firestorm last week which wasn't answered - what do you score if you hit the white lines between the red or the black segments ?

    Just had a go at these targets to "get my eye in" for the comp, and half my shots hit the lines.

    I suppose you could take the same attitude as with an HFT target behind a cage - aim for the bloody cage, you're bound to miss so you might then hit the killzone - sounds daft but it works for me !!

    Also, do we score the colours as we do in the monthly comps - if you clip the edge you score the target ?

    Complicated this snooker lark

    Hi Paul


    You score inwards, so if you clip it you score the point. Now for the complicated bit. If you hit the segment then with another pellet you hit or clip that segment again then it's game over. As is with the colours as long as you hit those 'once' you get the points.

    & now for the mind games did you beat Russ's score?

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Thanks MikeB

    For your payment & especially your letter. We are all fine thank you.

    Well everyone who does enter will get an Honours badge regardless of scores. As soon as they arrive I'll put up some pictures.

    So any more willing to take part, you are more than welcome.

    Regards
    Paddy.
