Take three with my Walther LGV Challenger ultra. Less nerves this time but still a lot of room for improvement. Might go and shoot the poop out of a can.

Well here is my second effort at this 10 Dime Challenge and not too shabby using my new HW30s. Would of been a lot closer to the $12 mark if it weren't for the three thrown shots, I'm still getting acquainted with my new little shooting buddy.

​Jeez Joe you need to get a real springer...not one of those faux pcp type springers! Just kidding, nice shooting. :)

Here is an updated version of the target and it comes in different colors. They are in .jpg format and are considerably larger that 8 1/2 by 11, when you print them check the option to "Fit to Page" in the print dialog box. (It will likely do this automatically)
Just click on the title of the target you want to download.(hopefully the download links work)
I think amber is one of my favorites.....
Oldsppok, feel free to upload them to your server as a backup incase my Imgur account start to complain.

Here are a couple examples.
On my windows 7 laptop using the Microsoft Photo Gallery app I check the "fit to page" setting and 8X10 print option on the right and of course I've selected 8.5X11 paper size option at the top.

Here is the application I used to create them. its called paintshop pro and in this dialog box the options selected are similar.

Which operating system and application are you using? Its possible your program or printer and drive are not capable of scaling the image down.
If you have tried settings like these and it still wont come out right I'll see if I can resize them to 8.5x11, just affraid I may loose the proper sizing on the bulls. I'll see what I can do.

Huh, that's weird. It's as if your program is trying to print it in Portrait layout and your printer is trying to print it in Landscape layout or visa versa.
​Just so there is no misunderstanding these are jpeg type graphic images and not pdf files, unfortunately this graphics program doesn't export to pdf so perhaps like Joe recommended try rotating the image 90degrees, save it then try printing again.

​I have updated my two post with the targets on them with a low res download version you can try.
​I have also updated the target it itself so the black rings around the bulls will always print black, previously they could be grayish and obscure with certain colored bulls.

​Hopefully you will have better luck with these new versions.

Chachoze, The problem is ( as you pointed out ) I'm exporting to PDF files. Thanks so much for taking the time to work with me.
