2 more attempts. The 4th shot on the 1st target flew far right. The other 4 were nice n tight. The 3rd target was better but the group was more open. No fouling shot.
10 in a row. Bull Barrel on the Tikka Varmint T3 was hardly warm.

I see it’s the middle of June already. I better get this printed and go see what I can do this year. I think I have room for improvement. :)

Our printer seems to only print jpegs as 4x6 photos.
Do you have it available as a pdf?

I do not have the target in a PDF file. Even if I did there is no provision, that I know of, to upload a PDF to the forum. Try adjusting your printer settings to print on letter (8.5 X 11) sized paper and see if that works. Usually that setting is found under the paper selection option.

Or as I did, print out the target, no matter the size, take it down to your local print shop and have them adjust/print out some copies to the 8.5 x 11 letter size. Bill K

Our stuff is apple so I sent it to my daughter who has a PC. She converted it to a pdf and was able to print it that way.
Thanks.

In the past I mailed out three times as many targets as were returned.

I imagine everyone has the best of intentions and high hopes. But a gust, a flinch, nerves, faulty equipment, the ever so prominent “flier” or several of the above can always dash the hopes and dreams of the best of intentions. I like this better because it saves you a ton of work not having to mail them out and I can try several times to get it right. Really appreciate all your efforts.👍

Targets are arriving! Some of them are looking pretty good. Better get out to the range and get shooting.
