I made that target with Microsoft Power Point. You could actually reproduce it pretty easily. I was going to offer it to JaxTeller to use for the monthly competitions. I will post it after the Challenge is over.

Finnaly got to the post office and picked up my target. I'm in a small town and have had my favorite ammo (federal 40gr. nosler ballistic tip) on order for 2 weeks but was told today it won't arrive til wed at the earliest so might have to do the challenge with a different factory load. I'll wait till the last minute, but it will get sent in by the deadline (insert "blonde" song here) One way or another. :P

I liked the target well enough, and being without a printer for my PC, I took it to my local stationary store and had some copies made, for further use. Bill K

Well, I pretty much messed this one up. Showed up at the range and realized that I forgot my rear bag, so had to use my fist under the rear of the rifle for support. Yea, we all know how that turns out - this is with a load that confirmed less then a half inch at 100 during a pretty extensive load development. Oh well, maybe next time...

Bet it can beat some regardless. Hang in there and as you said, next year. And/or the monthly shoot that will start up after this challenge. Bill K

I'm fine. My family is spread all around Houston and luckily they are all high and dry. My only close call was with a Texas Twister that dropped down very close to my house. Everywhere around Houston is flooded and I have many neighbors that have lost everything. My father is 95 years old and still lives by himself on the far southeast side of the city. He's safe, but I cannot reach him because most of the major freeways are flooded. Thanks, for the thoughts and especially for your prayers. We will bounce back strong. That's just what we do.

That is close, but glad it came no closer. So many have not been as fortunate. Prayers go out too all, in that storms wake. Bill K

I haven't been able to get to the range and last night I got sick. It will be a miracle if I get it in the mail by the first.

Looks like I'm going to have to go Thursday, if at all. This storm has really messed up my plans.

I mailed my target in today-not my best group but it is what it is. I think it's about .790. Hope the photo shows up.

Is that with the AR 204R, Randy ? Not bad at all on semi-auto and being such a deadly black menace to society.. Just funning. Bill K
