3X5 card for target
Range- 100 yards

If I get enough cards I will try to split this into to categories. 22 centerfire up to the quarter bores, and 270 and up.

Sorry, I thought that was in there.



The deadline for cards sent in is May 15th. Must be a five shot group in all categories except shotgun slugs.



Email me at wscott@ptsi.net for info on where to send your finished target too.

Scott17,
I have a hard time splitting out seperate categories if there are only one or two people that shoot for it. Generally, if there are enough people in a category when I get all of the cards, I will put them in their own category. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you want to shoot with open sights, and there are enough people that also do, I will split you guys out into a seperate category.

Every category is five shot groups except shotgun slugs.
