Shoot out response...

[ribbonstone]

Crap.

Got three targets shot, then it started raining (a real rain...not that gentle mist that Seatte folks think is a rain).

Reprinted targets...will tray again in a day or two.

Decided to move the target up 3 yards and shoot a news set at 20yards,,,figure my as well use some even number rather than 23yards.

Ok...wouldn't know how to digitize a target if my life depended on it.

What I just finished doing was posting 6 targets.
After knocking around a dirt clod (I just scoped the rifle in order to see the red bullseyes and needed to get it close enough) used target #1's ceneter bull for final sight in.
From there, shot 36 times,  no sighters, one shot at each of the  bullseyes.

Can fax them to whoever wants to recieve them...can smail mail the originls...or whatever is suggested.

Will attempte to get my wife to make a digital picture of the rifle and pellet tin to go along with the other information.
-------
Not sure about how they are scored, but it was certainly a goodw ay to spend the late afternoon.  IBy shot #30, certainly does put the pressure on the last 6 shots.

Learned (relearned) some things:
1. From knockign around the dirt clods, you can think you are dead on...but was off enough to miss a head shot on a cowbird at 20yards.  Nothing beats paper for knowing where you are.

2. When the light shifts, so do the pellet holes...as the sun goes down and things get a bit gray, the POI drops a little bit.

3. I can't comfortably fit 6 targets n my back stop-box.  Can eaisly fit 2 targets per side, shoot two...rotate box...shoot two..etc.

4. Don' trust the little yardage numbers on the objective...test the paralax and ignore the numbers.

Great Ribbonstone

It is fun when you get right down to it. Even if it is just for personal satisfaction. I really enjoy shooting paper. Each one of my Gamo's I have started marking the objective with pin stripe tape for 15 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards and 40 yards. I was getting tired of reajusting the scopes every time I change the distance...... CDT told me a while back that allot of guys who shoot targets just mark there scope for the distances. I know all my BSA scopes objective's are not calibrated right. So that takes care of the adjustment.

Sure makes life easier, especially when you have 9 Gamo's to shoot paper with.... yikesssssssssssssss

Only have two Gamo rifles (although I may take a crack at it with a gamo pistol),,,the old 128 and a Gamo 850C.  Have only seen one other 128 Iand here I'm using  anumber from memory as the rifle isn't marked other than Gamo, caliber, and serial number)...it's pretty much a copy of a Walther single stroke pneumatic.  May shoot one target with the 850 and another with the pistol. Pistol wears iron, and I doubt I'll see that red dot all that well at 20yards, but the 850 is scoped.

Scope I put on is a Simmons 6-18 marked "Air Gun Scope Competition", seems a good scope; at least the clicks are worth what the turrets say they are (1/8" at 100yards works out to .025" at 20ayrds...so it takes a few cicks to move it an inch).

Hey, Ribbonstone,

If the targets had black bulls, could you see them then?  If the answer is yes, here's how to do it.  When you set up the printer to print in landscape mode, there should be the option to print in black & white only, maybe grayscale.  Either of these will make the target print with a black bull.  Hope this helps!

Figured out how to print them in black and white...but was following the stated rules and using them unchanged.

Now that I've shot them and have no good way of sending them in,  am going back to apature sights...if I get a chance, will make a few tragets in black and give the apature a try as well as the other two Gamos in the house.
