Eight shots at Five charging Rhinos
It could happen to you.
You are exploring the far reaches of your local State forest, carrying your favorite weapon. You stumble upon an illegal rhino farm operated by crack addicts who mix powdered rhino horn in for their celebrity clients. They see you coming and sic five of their meanest rhinos on you.
You can't run. You can't hide. There are no benches, trees or steady-sticks nearby, but you can shoot prone, sitting, on one knee, standing or however you would shoot your best unaided. No time limit (these are slow, but deadly and determined, rhinos).
You only have eight rounds. 10 points for each shot inside a rhino target (you don't necessarily have to hit the rhino outline, just break a target line). 20 bonus points for hitting all five rhino targets. 100 possible points. The center dot on each rhino is the "X". Tiebreakers determined by "X" hits and then by scoring inside the rings.
Post target at 50 yards.
Rifle class -- 8 shots with any rifle or slug shotgun with iron sites.
Scoped class -- 8 shots with any scoped rifle, pistol or slug shotgun.
Pistol class -- 8 Shots with any unscoped pistol.
Shotgun class -- You happen to have a shotgun along -- but only three shells. Only 3 shots allowed in the shotgun class.
I will allow three entries again this month, so try a rifle, a pistol and your shotgun.
El Rojo has worn me down, so beginning this month and from now on -- your HIGHEST score will count toward your yearly total. I will only allow three entries per person from now on. All must be in a different class unless otherwise noted.

Please write in your score since birdshot will be difficult to score.

Safe shooting and good luck!
P.S. These are very thin-skinned rhinos, so one pellet of birdshot, a .22 or a .45-70 all count the same if they hit inside the target.
