   My first legitimate try. This could become an enjoyable habit.
(I have taken photo twice, once with backlight, one without.)

Distance 5.7 m from front foot.
Two handed unsupported, 5 shots per target.
Daisy 717

Score 35 + 35 = 70

	The UK group runs this monthly - you can submit up to 4 targets for each category every month. Persoanlly I'm keen on a monthly challenge - not sure if I would submit more than one target or shoot in more than one category but would be keen to put up something each month. Again, it all comes back to what works for the most people. If you have more than one pistol, I don't see why you cant put a a score for each gun. I beleive it comes down to getting some of these guns out and using them - and trying to improve. Of course - this is coming from someone who is retired and thus has more free time than many of you. I did try a cut 'n paste of the weekly update from the UK but it didn't work very well as none of the tables showing the scores came through. If we did go to a monthly comp we would probably be better off starting a new forum post each month - possibly in the target shooting, rather than the general forum? Don't think we have enough members - so possibly just one score table for everyone. Quite keen to see some scores from some of the custom pistols out there. At this stage I suggest we keep it open to any one with any type of "pistol". Once we have a idea of what you all find intersting/challenging we can fine tune things a bit. Maybe "springer" PCP and CO2? Maybe a "quick draw" for any cow boys or cow girls out there - may need a diferent target for this? Anyway - just get out there and get your targets in!

	Nice one Pauly, page 3 table updated but you have been a touch hard on the target scores. Please note I have suggested inward scoring where if the line is cut then that ring applies. I would score your top diagram as 7,8,8,8,8 with a sub total of 39. Bottom diagram 3,6,9,9,9 so a 36 by my method. Kruza adjudication is required. Edited by mercs - 5 hours 20 minutes ago at 8:40pm

	Oh no thats not happening. Gawd im not gonna say whats, what. But id sujest that if a score is in debate you either get close ups of the shot or run it through one of those scoring apps. A comp shooter would be a better judge.

	I wasn't too sure and it made me think, should we have a scoring convention of sorts. I wondered if a couple were higher, but wasn't interested in trying to get the best score so didn't take the benefit from the doubt. Happy to go with mercs method if everyone else is? If a line is cut, then score the inner ring. If we score a 10 by taking out the centre and not touching the line, is that a 10.1 or do we just keep it a 10?
