Laurie Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 there is only Gary who could come up with some thing like that Vince Yup ... the one and only !! This a 'good one' though even by the man's standards. :) It's as well you didn't ask him to make the 1,000yd comp gongs Vince .... He'd likely have shot a jellyfish and used it as a template.

Gary,the article is entirely consistent with your experience/observations,and largely incompatible with posts on here,though one wonders quite what criteria were used for the 'expert shots'.Unlikely to have been 'deserved his fly patch',though drosophila control has not been researched...yet...if you hanker after one these elusive/exclusive t shirts ... george Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971silversurfer Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 A useful site for creating life size posters from A4 sheets... stick the pages to ply and jigsaw out...I then cover my targets in brown parcel wrapping paper easy to patch up target once shot with a glue stick and brown paper the rougher they look the better. http://www.blockposters.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
