Our gun club has two meets a year.
About every third year we can get on a range that allows us to shoot more than 600 yards.
We call these shoots our 8541 meets.
For a long time we shot straight military targets but the paper would often flap in the wind.
This year we are shooting at 800 yards and we are gluing the paper targets to 1/2" MDF.
This should settle down the wind factor.
I am making these targets.
I wish that I could figure out a way to cheat.
On Sunday evening I will give you a full report of how MDF stands up to 30 caliber ammunition.
It is important to us wooddorkers to know how our materials stand up to hard use.
(The club is restricted to shooters of the 1903-A3 Springfield - the best rifle ever made)
watson - who hopes that Jim Clarke, who is 81 years old, will not kick his ass again - too badly.
