Thank you Dan, this is exactly what i was lookin for. I've never shot in a contest of any sort, but i may try to do it this year, at least try to be in attendance.

That target tells you how tricky the winds are at Rio Salado. Out of 40 Sportsmen that started the tournament, this is THIRD place. Good shooting Dan! I brain farted and didn't take any pics of my target when I had the chance... 
For reference, the ten ring is 0.485", the nine ring is 1.2" and the eight ring is 2". Shot at 100 yards.

These were the 2 75 yard qualifying cards to get to the 100 yd finals. Still not extremely easy but you can see the conditions were better as well as the wind predictability. Sure was fun and I highly recommend trying it, you WILL have a blast. Excellent people to meet and rub elbows with some of the top shooters from all over the air rifle world.

Yes, night and day. FYI, those 75-yard targets of Dan's look like the FINAL 100Y target that Jeffrey Hernandez (the Pro winner) shot.
FYI, little known fact, but the RMAC targets are slightly larger than the EBR targets. The bullseye 10 ring at RMAC is 0.5". So a 225 at EBR is ever so slightly better than a 225 at RMAC.

Practice on getting nothing lower than an 8 score on any bull, And not many 8's at 75 yards either if you want to make the finals! The qualifying takes place at different times of day and that can affect the winds you shoot in. The finals is another game all together, everyone starts from scratch and pretty much has the same wind conditions (within reason as some variance at different lanes due to range layout wind impediments. Mike told me last year that you need a 445 combined score to make the finals. Last year was my first and I shot a 444 combined score. If I would have shot a 446 combined score I would have made the finals last year. Just to give you an idea what you should be shooting for.
This year I think I shot a 458 combined at 75. I'm speaking Sportsman class. The Pro class is a little bit higher.

Yup, Sportsman Class usually a 445 will get you a bench on Sunday morning. In the Pro, its usually 460 to 465 to make the finals. I had 464 and squeaked in...

EBR Target Challenge
I was talking with @airsupply , Michael, and we thought it would be fun to start up an EBR Target type Challenge to go on at least until EBR, or for as long as there is interest. We've noticed over the past couple of years that while many "groups" have been posted, very few scores. I've been...
