Squared Circles
A relatively easy target this month…but with a slight twist.
7,8,9,10,X – That is the scoring ring series we are all used to seeing on our targets. But, it sure is difficult to get all your rounds to hit accurately at the center ring every time. Three rounds within the 10 ring is much more difficult than three into the 9 ring. Yet there would only be a difference of 3 points (10%) between those two targets. It sure seems that someone who can get a really good, tight group in the center should be rewarded more than that.
This months target attempts to fix that problem. The scoring rings are the squares of a sequence of points so the center ring scores increase rapidly.
Aim carefully and take your time. A good shot will help your score tremendously this month.
