Silhouette match

I competed in my second silhouette match today and shot an 8/40.

Not at all bad considering:
My trigger has a seven pound pull
I'm shooting with a semi auto Marlin 60
Of the seven of us the scores were 13, 13, 12, 9, 8, 8.

Still, I'm not gonna win any national trophies until I shoot in the high 30s. I remind myself, "Even dwarves started small."

But that's only six scores, isn't it?

Hold on, let me close one eye and count them again.

From what distance?

The missing score was a ten.

The small bore match uses four targets at 40yards (chickens) 60yards (Javelinas) 77yards (Turkeys) 100yards (Rams) The targets are 1/5 scale

Here's a jpeg of the targets, their ranges, and their sizes. It's a one inch grid.
