Black being furthest, pink slightly closer etc. The fairly easy red had to be shot before picking a colour. First miss and you were OUT!
Our club also played Airgun Cricket which became a very popular Sunday event.They sound excellent, Ian.Two teams. First team shoot at the 'Runs'. K D targets set at different distances - the 6 being the hardest, obviously. After all the 'Batters' have had one shot its the 'Bowlers' turn.
Bowlers all take one shot at a distant KD target. For every time the target is hit the Batters chose which of the Bowlers is out and no longer shoots. When all the bowlers are out the roles are reversed.
The quandary is. If your a Batter and shoot well you will be chosen to be out early.
The distance to the K D targets depends on the weather conditions on the day.
