Wow, Spotted Bull, that's literally a hair away from being a perfect 50 points.  :bl th up
That's what makes the Mike Fink shoot such an enjoyable, frustrating challenge.
The trouble with doing things right the first time is no one realizes how hard it was.
Often, however, the following is more applicable.
I stand corrected, a position somewhat painful to achieve, but once there, is quite satisfying.

Well Ole Mike didnt quite make it out unscathed in my target. Hard to see when your glasses keep fogging up from humidity.

But no excuses. I just need to get out and put lead down range more often. Joe does this look like 30 to you? And do we need to mail these to you?



Actually - no;

My findings after blowing the picture up to 500% are as follows;

Two hits are touching the head - so the score is +10 +10 +10 = +30 then -10 -10 = -20 score (Giving you a score of +10

But it's a heck of a group! And there's no need to mail it in this year... If our "pandemic" is over next year, we'll go back to the mail in of all targets.

I'm not seeing the second head hit. Both on the right side are above the black line. The far left shot, if you look close at the top edge of the shot you can see the ball impact. That's above the line as well.

Right below the "0" in the "10" score area - the head has been touched.  :shake

I'm going to change that; It is a "10" after verifying it with a NMLRA Round ball Gauge.  :hairy

+10 +10 +10 +10 -10 = 30 pts  :shake

::)The 2 ranges I shoot at will not allow "human" targets. sorry but that's the way it is!  ::)

How about covering up MIke's face with some paper and then shoot the cup?


Mike needs to mask up anyway!

Well I finally got out and shot today.  Target is in the mail.  I think I shot a 30 but we will see.

One half inch higher would have been a near perfect target, Spotted Bull.  Nice grouping though and good shooting! :toast
Btw, I had that problem with my glasses a few weeks ago in the often humid Hudson Valley.

Thank you sir. I try not to make excuses, but that was the actual reason. I'll do better next time.
