Yeah I'm thinking the polka-dot target may be the way to go. The tiny 100's are for those guys with the 42 power scopes. 16x is the highest setting I have, and they'll be difficult to see.OldTurtle wrote:Personally, I like the target with the multiple potentials rather than one bulls eye....While any wind can play havoc with individual scores, it would certainly be easier to score and count the shots..... Those "100" counts do look awfully small though..
It seems like the ones turning in the tightest groups back in '08 were the ones with 20x and higher scopes. Hence my addition of the 200 and 300 yard targets. I thought that was the range most guys bought these rifles for. They say 100 is no challenge on rodents. Well, here's your challenge.
Would anybody like to require that the scope is capable of a setting of 6x or lower? This would limit most to 20x on the top end, except for those Bushnell 6500's with the 4-30x zoom. I bet that would eliminate a lot of rifles from the competition, but then there aren't too many signed up yet anyway... We could also set a max zoom setting of 20x on anything but the 300 yard targets. Kind of difficult to enforce in this type of thing.
Thanks OT, and keep the feedback coming. More will sign up if it's fair and looks worth their while. Keep in mind, if you wait until 15 have entered a given class before suggesting a change, it's hard to change something after so many have already signed up.
