Very cool. Are the paper animals the same size as actual silhouette animals? This is with your D54? Long way from TX, but if we still have 115+ heat indexes then I might jump on a plane LOL.
Indoors I shoot my TX200 .177. We shoot the 50ft NRA paper targets reduced in size by 20%. The scores are so tight we are going to make a change next month. If you hit the animal you will get 1 point. If your shot is totally inside the animal you will get .5 of a point extra. That would have changed today's RESULTS quite a bit. So,a perfect score will no longer be 40x40 but will be 60x40. Big advantage besides awarding extra to better shots, it will allow you to recover from a bad shot, or two. I made multiple trips to TX as my son spent 12 years of his 24 year Air Force career in TX as a gunsmith. I always went in the spring and enjoyed the weather.

Gotcha, thanks. Have to try that. Spring is wonderful here. June not usually too bad, but this year is brutal. Dangerous heat. And crazy storms farther north and in Hill Country. If you want to come down wait till October LOL.
