Wondering if anyone was interested in a preseason game. The game goes as follows:
I will provide you with a premade official target (this way everyone is shooting at the same target). It just so happens to be a nearly scale squirrel just like you'll get to shoot at on 8/1. You print the target and shoot your best 5 shot group. This game can be broke into yardage( 25, 50 or 150:eek:) and weapons (Airgun, Bow, .17 hmr, shotgun:D) so that everyone has the same chance.

Here is an example:

If interested just say so and we can work out the rules so you can practice with the target this weekend or during your hunt next weekend. (Its always good to sight in your gun before hunting.:cool:)
(No Animals were harmed, or injured during the practice of shooting this paper).

Sounds like a great idea! :)

I'd join in but just got too many Irons in fire...

Do you use the air gun for squirrel?

If you could save it as a pdf file everybody could be printing the same size.

That depends.... http://www.siloutdoors.com/showthread.php?t=12034 ... on the answer I get.:D

Hopefully I will have the target converted to a .pdf and will provide a link to the location.

MS Office 2007 and Openoffice.org both can save as pdf files.

Done - just print and shoot.
Fill in the bottom and post a photo of your current sighting condition.
Better to find out if the sights got moved off target before opening day of season.

THat's a pretty nifty idea there !
but I have to tell you.. I can not even see a squirrel anymore without thinking of you...LOL

There were four running up the street at my sisters this evening and I said to her..

"Hah they're running as fast as they can from Debunk" she just gave me that my sister has lost it look again LOL
