December 2020 - Decorate the Christmas Tree
Our December target comes from a suggestion on the Monthly Postal Match - General Discussion thread. It was done here a couple years ago. It is called Decorate the Christmas Tree. I've reworked and attached it as a pdf you can download and print.
Write your Forum Screen Name on your target!
The distance will be 25 yards.

If you don’t mind sharing I would also like to know what you’re shooting. Include type of firearm, caliber, ball diameter, patch thickness, lube, powder type and grains used, barrel length and twist rate. This isn’t required I’m just the curious sort.
Thanks for shooting and Godspeed ladies & gentleman!!
