    Those belong to me Jim, I made them.

    Using pellets skirt down to check if they fit within the rings. Centers have tighter rings though. I use those for target practice. For comps a few bulls should be erased.

    Feel free to use them on your website.


    Since a lot of members prefer to keep the way to enter as it is now, I'd suggest to start a mailinglist and invite all members to participate each first of the month. That could wake up a lot of sleeping members.

    Amongst those sleeping members myself, this topic woke me up. Visited the website, printed the targets (not that hard after all) and gave it a try. I can't enter this one though, have got to alter my shooting range first because it's half a yard short.

    UBC target

    I won't be able to assist with new tasks, the ones I'm doing now are more than enough, chairman/webmaster/admin for a motorcycle club takes a more than fair amount of time, admining the Crosman pistol board not that much but some time too and mrs Brutuz and I both work 40+ hours each week... There might be someone else reading this topic that does have the time to contribute. Early to bed, early to rise, no jolly good if you don't advertise *grin* That's how I manage the mc club, 5 board members, a touringcoordinator for each region, a 2nd webmaster for the tech stuff and app 7 others that manage other tasks.

    Thumbs up for the UBC Team, keep up the good work

    That is a result Brutuz, I had not thought of this thread as a wake up call but am very pleased that it has lead to you joining in

    Don't try to do them all: pick one, only one, the one that strikes your fancy the most, and go with it. That won't take you but an hour at a time, once a month.

    Hi thanks for all your comments.

    I've been really these past few weeks.

    I will go over what has been said & try & come up with ideas following from your suggestions.

    Yes it does take up alot of our time, however if there is still a real interest from you guys & gals then it's worth it.

    The idea of an automated scoresheet is out of my league I can see it being much quicker for me to process, but I'm happy in doing the admin side.

    The score card is a good option so I'll see if I can knock on up. I will look again at the comp website to see if I can make it simplier. However I'm simple, so if I can work it out the rest of you should

    Regards
    Paddy.
    BE-HAPPY-OK

    One intervening week, but sandwiched in by two full weekends.

    True. And, you're most welcome!

    Tied up with four other comp's for the winter and more for the summer. Then there's a lot of HFT to get in. Perhaps one day i'll join and give it a go.

    Chris.
    Far too many rifles & pistols to mention here.

    I'll look into it, as long as it's not too complicated: I'll give it a go

    It certainly was, although I did "execute" the hostage in my practice run

    i didn't go for a practice run just shot it straight after the main bit.

    after shooting the 6 shots i counted my score then went back to 15 yards and shot the hostage in the forehead with the rest of my 2 mags. nice tight group as well. that was probably more fun than shooting the bad guys lol.
