    dwh - what size do you intent the targets to be to make sure we are all on the same wave length here? Typical 8.5 X 11?

        Interesting... hmm

        When you printed horizontal, did you select "Scale to fit page" ?

          Alright, this is the biggest I can get it. Any bigger and it'll cut off other targets.



          Its a .25 size now..but thats the biggest.. still pretty small. If the rule is a tare = the higher value, hitting the 7 ring will count as a 10...IF we can even hit a 7. lol

            Targets are just a tad larger than a nickle!!!!!

            Good Luck!!!!

              Plus, you need to set size to "shrink to fit". If it is set to 100%, only about 2/3 of it will fit. Mine came out a tad larger than a nickel and a tad smaller than a quarter.

                  I gave this a shot last weekend at the Lytle Creek Firing Line. I set the targets up at 50 yards and gave it a try. It was breezy and the results were terrible. I had my wife give it a try too. Hopefully we'll make another trip out there before the end of the month.

                    with a target so small, does touching a line count for the smaller ring?

                      Sorry for the small target folks! I had a chance to shoot it a few weeks back, but the wind wasn't being friendly!

                      A touch always counts, as long as it is a real touch and breaks the line!

                        Is 5 yards an okay range?! I've got a sever case of myopia ...

                          I'll give it a try indoors with my irons at 25 yards if I get a chance to shoot before the month is up.

                            Haha, I tried it but it's near impossible to get a 10 let alone a 10x. Lots of 9's thou but I too had bad wind. I average ~7 with the target so small.

                              Here's my Feb target, Anshutz 64, ELEY Match ammo, shot from Prone with bipod and rear bag. I counted a 216 and 1 x but not for sure, it was hard to see the numbers so i might be off some.

                                Just got around to shooting this morning.
                                Shot two targets.
                                First one was elbow and shoulder only (like last month) not posting that one.
                                Next was with bipod and shoulder (that one is attached) and it was OK.
                                I should have brought out the rest and rear bag but couldn't get to the cabinet because it is behind a pile of boxes.

                                Still shooting the left-handed Anchutz 1416 with the Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20 AO EFR
                                with SK Jagd Rifle Match @ 50 yards.
