    Yeah! But you left out the score. Was it that bad?

    Shot mine this afternoon.

    Love the new targets, much more challenging. On a personal note I found the coloured ones easier to shoot at 10mtrs. Probably down to these old eyes

    Question New Targets

    Paul
    (and anyone who liked the new targets)
    Don't get too attached to them.
    Paddy likes to vary things so I am building a database of "suitable" vintage targets and we will be running them over the six months of the contest season. A different one every month from the database and an occasional newcomer.
    Because of the nature of "mainline" contests the 6 yard targets will remain the same and, as far as I know, Mike B will keep the same target for the 10 mtr for the same reason.
    Paul did you like the target inspired by your comments. AH! just realised it hasn't been published yet. Oh well.
    Anyone with favourites of old targets they remember get me a description or picture and I will try to get a target made.

    Regards

    Just had ago with 4 rifles

    Vintage 10m, Vintage 6yd, Open 10m & Open 6yd.

    Will do another set of 4 rifles tomorrow, if I get the opportunity.

    I like this target, thanks Jim. It's was quite hard remembering where to aim off for each seperate target, but I managed

    I even tried to have ago with my Scoped Airsoft Sniper rifle, however I was aiming for the center target & the BB's were going high & right over the target page . I couldn't be bothered to adjust the scope, so I just got another rifle

    Regards
    Paddy.
