October 2013 Hollow-Tween Shoot

[jethro224]

Here's a contest with a twist that might SPOOK some of ya. :haha:

5 shots at 25 yards.

The target is a 8.5" x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with a one-inch circle drawn in the exact center. Around the one-inch circle is a 3-inch circle.

Any hits completely or partially inside the one-inch circle will be scored from the center of the hole to the center of the target.

Any hits completely OUTSIDE of the 3-inch circle will also be scored from the center of the hole to the center of the target.

Now for the spooky part...
Any hits completely or partially inside the 3-inch circle (cutting the line counts as inside), which do not fall inside or cut the line of the one-inch circle will be scored from center of hole to center of target PLUS THREE INCHES!

Careful now! The Hollow-Tween the circles will get ya!

BWAHAHAHA!!!




5 Shots at the center of a 8.5" x 11" printer paper with a 1" and a 3" circle drawn in the exact center at 25 yards.

Each shot will be measured from center of target to center of hole. These 5 measurements (plus penalties) will be added together for your score.

There is a chance I might get this one in for a change!

 

[Sawyer]

do we draw or print the targets off a pc ?

 

[jethro224]

If you know where to print one with both a 1" and 3" circle that will be fine. Otherwise you can just draw one or even use some of those dot stickers. Whatever works for you.

An official overlay will be used for scoring purposes.

Here, http://www.targetz.com/targetzlib/10136.pdf , is a link to a printable target with 4 3" black circles with 1" dots in the middle.
Those who can't draw could print one of these out and cut one out and stick in in the center of their target.

 

[GreyWhiskers]

That IS kinda spooky. :shocked2: Good one, Jethro. Gonna try to dust off my rifle and have a go at this. GW

The target that Dutch Schoultz supplies with the "Black Powder Rifle Accuracy System" is a 3" black circle. The 10 ring is 1". His target template has 5 bulls with one being in the center of the paper. That 10 ring is pretty elusive at 25 yds. offhand.

That targetI I provide is for 50 yards.
25 Yard shooting is to see if you can get on the paper.
Once that is established you do your work ups and experiments at 50 yards.
