Ugh. I shot 4 and got a fairly tight group. The last one, of course, was a flyer. OnTarget says my group is about 0.4 moa. Good enough? Probably not.

Shall I send in skipper? or skip..

Just FYI. I will be posting group size in inches. MOA is relative to distance, but group size in Inches at 100 yards is easy to visualize in your mind. Siri can convert to metric with little effort, for those of you who live overseas.

A lot of targets have made their way home. I have had a good time scoring them. So far this is the winning group. I measured this group three times and came up with a .437 Inch Center to Center. There are others very close to this example. Send those targets back to me ASAP but at least by Sept 1. There's still time to get your target scored and posted.

I knew my group was terrible but Skipper spent the time and effort to mail them out so the least I could do is mail my target back. Thanks, looking forward to next year.

You are more than welcome. It is my pleasure to serve this forum. It's not going to hurt my feelings if targets do not get returned. However, you cannot win if you don't play.

I haven't received a target in the mail yet. This will be my last weekend to do it so I may have to hold on to it for next years challenge when it finally arrives. Thanks for the effort all the same Skipper. Nobodies fault but the mailman.

I sure hope it reaches you in time. Remember, it just has to have a postmark of September 1st. That means you could mail it on Sept 1st and it will still qualify. I cannot control the mail and especially not international mail. There are times I wished I could! :wall:

Excited to see some more results, this is my first time doing this. I really liked the target, my scope has a dot in the center so I just adjusted my zoom until the dot filled the circle on the target. Did you make this target skipper? Could I get a digital copy? I had intentions of copying it before I shot it but I forgot.
