Thought I better get my Mike Fink Target shot and posted so's my partner don't dis'claim me... :toast :shake

I finally had a good MF target after all these years. I used my; .40 Ed Rayl Barreled Dickert w/ Large Siler Cap Lock...

Seems like t's been years since I shot a decent score.  :)

Joe,
That lowest hole in the cup appears to be cutting the low line in the cup.  Does that mean the shot advances to hitting the top of his skull?  Seems to me that shot would certainly part ol' Mikes hair for sure.  Regardless, that is a mighty fine group there.  Glad I am not in the competition, I'd a just lost.

It's still in the cup, not cutting the outside of the line so ol' Joe is good to go.  That sure is a mighty fine group!  I have to sneak out and shoot my target right quick like, and hopefully get all five shots in the cup....  :pray:

Kees is correct... The scoring is correct, the ball is not touching any part of Mike Finks head.

Aaargh!  Mike Fink survived another day, which is to say, his cup did.  I drove the 30 minutes out to the range, set up a practice target (paper plate with a piece of black duct tape in the center) and fired three shots for a lovely tight group.  "Okay" says I, "now to shoot the cup off of MF's head.  Mike, where are you?  Mike?? Mike???"  The rascal was still at home, lounging by the downstairs bookshelf!   :Doh!  Curses, foiled again.  Fired another two shots with again, excellent results and bagged it.

Dave old partner, I plan to get out again in the next couple of days to shoot this one more time and I hope to bring everything with me so I can actually get this done!  ;D  The third time is the charm, right?  :bl th up

Don't feel bad Kees, at one of our monthly shoots, I got up in the am, poured the coffee, loaded up the gear and headed to the range, loaded everything up, range box, bag, horn, thermos everything! EXCEPT THE GUNS!

I imagine everyone has had something like that happen to them.
A fellow that used to be in our club showed up to hunting camp and he had brought everything he needed with him, except gun powder.  His horn was bone dry, not a grain to be seen.  Somehow or another, he wound up with the moniker, Empty Horn.  So, being the cool sort of guy he is, he embraced the name.  When signing his name to something, he would sign - E. Horn.  Darn, but I miss all those guys, shooting and rendezvousing with them.  It was a lot of fun.

Sounds good David.  :hairy   :shake

I'm not sure how I pulled #2 and #4 shots so far to the right,.... they felt good when I touched the trigger.  :(
