I printed out the target. Just waiting for the chance to shoot. Think I'll do the Rifle with my 10/22. This was a good idea.

Good Job Mike. I've got to catch a favorable day and shoot mine. I have the targets printed. I'm going to have to use the rifle since I'm not steady enough for the pistol.

Use what ever you want. But be warned, those dots make you cross eyed.
It is a fun test of skill. Makes you a better shot by making you concentrate on the sights more. I also shot my .45 Colt Vaquero. I did suprisingly well with it. I discovered it likes 200 grain bullets better than 250 grainers.

Since I can use what ever I want, I'll use my 12 ga. shotgun with 3" birdshot. That ought to get me a high score.
