    I've made up an "overlay" that is stapled on the front of @rambo-6mmrem 's target. It allows for the results to come out on the "offical" target but the aiming points are a lot bigger. Thoughts @rambo-6mmrem ??

    the target is small its 1moa at 50 if your older or have bad eyes i can understand how it would be hard to see I don't want to dis include anyone
    if that's the case I will allow coloring in of the outer ring to make it a 1 inch aim point might also need to do this for classics with smaller scopes

    when 1 designed the target it was more thought of around the precision rifle with big scopes to match wasn't really thinking about anything other than that

    @rambo-6mmrem there are a lot of very capable old aperture sighted vintage target rifles lurking in the back of our gun safes

    Trouble is their vintage owners can no longer shoot as well as the rifle

    Only speaking for myself

    Ps can send you BP wads when at L3

    I’m keen to see what I can do with my old slazenger single shot with broken rear sight when I can get to a range. I’ve never tried a target but can reliably hit bunnies between the eyes.
    If I’m no good you’ll never know

    My rimfires have scopes because I'm ageing and am nearly (legally) blind.
    My SA-22 has its original 3-7 scope, my Anschutz has a more capable Vortex Golden Eagle (because that was my only spare scope that would focus at 25 yards).

    Gone the opposite way with my SA22. Removed scope base, reblued, and now it's back to au naturel.
    Mines a Model 1 from way before dovetails became available. Don't think it would be that compete in the accuracy stakes.

    @zimmer interested in the open sight class?

    @Cyclops your case and cases like it is the exact reason I allowed that slight modification to make the target a bit bigger should make it a bit easier for you a 2moa target should be easy to see

    Well its a tough gig. Shot it with an EM322 this evening, still a bit of wind. Using Fiocchi 320 ammo ($20 a box) and bugger me had a dud round half way through that dropped 50mm low. The Em322 is pretty light and hard to shoot well anyway but that just did me in. Consoled myself with shooting a nice small group with the super batch of Eley Club I have, 0.43" - of-course it was way smaller than anything else I shot today ! - Go figure!!

    Yes - a gentleman ob here got it, but delivery hasn't been taken so I'm shooting it with his permission . . . .

    wish I could shoot some myself but I'm thinking that could be at least another week away as soon as Auckland gets to level 3 I can get to my mates farm and do some contactless shooting

    This competition has come too late - only have one 22LR left these days... That's a wee Marlin 795 semiautomatic which we shot in on range week or so ago. Dialled it in to 0.8" group at 75m which is very acceptable for a little standard barrel semi.

    Tent - my EM332s were precise wee shooters. Generally 0.3-0.4" at 50m with the occasional cherry picked 0.1 and 0.2s thrown in. Brilliant at 100 - with groups at 0.5, and several sets averaging well under 1". My range photos were all stored on photobucket which I can no longer access, but might have some saved targets of little $247 EM at 100 somewhere...

    Looking forward to following the competition.. Good work rambo
