Interesting reading - Don McDowell - 06-01-2022
Not sure how many receive the Shooting sport journal from the NRA via email, so for those that don't here are links to a couple of interesting articles on targets.

TNX. for the link Don.
That is an awful large target for the 1K at 6'X12'
RE: Interesting reading - Don McDowell - 06-01-2022
Yes it is rather large.
Interesting to note that the so called Creedmoor 150 match held at Oak Ridge uses paper targets the same size, and uses the "v" bull scoring system.

That Oak Ridge match is one I will make when I heal up. I been watching that one.
I shot two matches last weekend Wisconsin Rapids and Merrill Wis. and paying for it now but I think it's the long trip and I tried shooting prone on one that did the damage.

‘What is important to remember is that the target has almost always been a circle and, no matter what size the circle, the center is still the center’
In a nutshell this will always be a truth that can’t be denied
