    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?

    Nah !! hit the same black twice on second go.

    Back to the white lines question - if you hit a white line, you're almost certain to hit two adjacent segments. Do you get to choose which one you want to count ?

    Yeah. Just make sure that you check & know which segment you are on.

    It would be easier if you went round the segments clockwise or anti-clockwise

    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.
