Regarding the target, do you just print them on 8 1/2x11?
I see that they are 600  yard reduced targets which would normally be much larger than I can print.

BTW you guys can rest easy for a while.  I still have two more surgeries remaining on my hand so I won't be winning each and every shoot for a while.  :mini-devil-28492:

The targets will print on 8 1/2 x 11 with all the black and 1 full white ring plus another white ring that is incomplete on the narrow sides of the target.

 Got the targets printed, went down to my range.  No matter how I tried I just couldn't shoot my rifle one handed.  Maybe next month.

It's going to be quite some time before I do anything two handed.  At least two more surgeries plus recovery time.  But I keep trying.

I for one totally understand. I broke up a dog fight between two of our sled dogs and ended up tearing all the ligaments in my right thumb. It was 12-16 weeks before I could do the simplest task like buttoning my fly or open the car door. Do everything the Doc and physical therapist tell you. I know this from experience.

What Dogshirt said. I have had to spend too much downtime as a result of thinking I knew much more than the doctor did. I still think I do, but he was right most of the time when it came to injury recovery time.
I am the one your mom warned you about!

Went out to shoot my targets this morning and was confronted by these two items. The second one is better than the first.

I got them shot, and I took a single trigger rifle I built several years ago but I didn't do very well with it. The stitches in my hand only bothered me a little so I'm being nice to the other shooters and sending the targets in anyway.
