It's time for the May round. So far, Alex and Stoof have won a round apiece - is this Steve's month? And will we see our first 30 and more entrants? Fingers crossed. The Rules. Any .177 rifle. Any sights. Standing and unsupported. No slings for steadying. The range should be as near to 6 yards as possible. A little under is ok as is a bit further if you need more distance for a scope to focus. Only use the GARC pdf target sheets - download and print from the GARC Website. One shot per "bull" for a total of 10 per round. Score the target yourself. Completed entries to be photographed and posted in this thread. Honesty is the key here so, after practicing, commit yourself to shooting an official entry then submit it warts 'n' all - no shooting a dozen sheets then entering the best!

That'll get the ball(s) rolling very nicely.

Good start there!
On Monday afternoon things all seemed to fall into place for my round 1 rifle shot: I havered a bit about the middle bottom target, but if it had cut a clean hole it would have been a 3 - just a spiderweb tear cut the line.
Round two wasn't so impressive today though! Same score with both the HW25 and the Webley Typhoon in the Pistol category!

A good start - 2 x 29s in the first round. We're going to see a 30 this month, I'm sure of it.

GARC's oldest teenager Alex refuses to grow up and stop playing with his man toys - respect! A 28 puts him top of the table.

Excellent shooting so far, keep it up gents!
I'll sneak another one in there - no closer to that elusive 30, it's another 27.

No "30" from me, it's down to you two now - or maybe Bri/Chris if they pluck up the courage to have a go, come on fellas. Indeed, come on any member, have a go, you may enjoy it instead of relaxing in front of the tele! At least my combined score has improved in May. Eagle eye confirms 2nd from left on bottom line is a "3".

A 29 for round 4! I dared to hope that I might actually have done it at first glance, but no, shot 7 did just touch the edge. Perhaps in round 5?

Are you sure? It looks like a "3" in the photo.

Yeah, it's a 2, The paper has been flattened which has "healed" the damage and makes it look like a 3.
