Nice rifles and fine shooting, there. Glad you could get out. Up here, all that rain has come in the form of snow. We've set records for snowfall and that takes some doing, since this is serious snow country.

Re: Finally, a break in the rain!
I got them at Academy Sports. The 3” round can be perfectly covered with the Henry brass bead at 25 yards and the 6” round covered at 50 yards. That helps me have a consistent point of aim. Otherwise, the brass bead is just too large for aiming accurately. At least for me. It’s also easier to see your hits at distance. It’s getting to the point where I need some binoculars to see my hits, though.markiver54 wrote:BTW Deano, I have seen those high vis targets on paper plates on other posts.

I use paper plates a lot because they are dirt cheap. I’d rather spend my money on ammo than targets.
