Scoring: Count 10,9,8 and 7 if you hit the paper. A full cut of a line counts to the next highest value. Where there is a tie the most Xs hit in the 10 ring will be the tie- breaker!

Traveler, I'll confirm your 91-2X score, but... is that target the same size as the one linked above? I looks like it may have slightly smaller rings.

[Baja_Traveler]

Its an Optical illusion - the linked B6 target is an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, and the B6 target I printed out at work is 11 x 17, so you see the complete 7 ring and part of the 6 ring. The actual ring sizes are identical in both targets. I'm going to try again this week - trying to keep everything in the black to improve score - I keep throwing one of the shots in the white...

I took a couple of the grandboys out shooting a few days ago, and amongst the tin-can popping I got some targets shot. Usually the little devils put some 22 cal holes in my targets but somehow these stayed clean (at least of 22 cal holes). It was a great day for shooting-- upper 80's, very little wind. One of the gkids even brought some of his own 22's. I don't know why I didn't shoot better on such a perfect day, but here is what I did.
