    Wize words indeed, and while I like really accurate rifles, and enjoy the challenge of getting something to "shoot", when I go hunting my favorites are always "what's gonna be best to carry in that...

    earplay liked post by Tentman On thread : 100m target
    Here are my targets, I've added another "open centre" aiming point, this one is good for group testing where you want to put 10-30 shots on paper, I use it for lot testing 22 ammo at 100M
