I've been out of circulation for a little while. I was wondering how everyone was doing and now that I've been reviewing the targets I decided to add up the "results" on the "black dot of doom" targets. I only counted the black dot of doom targets and not any others, though I realise that some people shot really well on other targets and don't mean this as any reflection on those who them. I also judged a "hit" as needing to be a fairly solid hit so where I was peering and thinking "does that break the black dot or not" then I didn't count it as a hit as I thought this was a practical stalking exercise where solid hits are valuable. I also counted all the black dot of doom targets even though I realise some were shot under differing circumstances depending on what took your fancy or the ground you had available.
The results are that from a total of 53 shots fired (one person fired 5 shots at a target, hence the odd number) there were 7 hits on the black dot of doom. Only one person, Mr. Lewis, posted a target with more than one hit on the dot but it should also be noted that he fired 5 shots at this target, I'd guess had he been target shooting then it would have been judged that he had more than 2 hits but as stated above I was looking for what I considered "solid" hits. So 46 of the 53 shots missed the 1 inch dot of doom.
So, certainly an interesting result so far. I'm forming a plan for a sequel to see if I might drum up some interest in another "fun shoot" with a bit of a difference as I've been really pleased that everyone joined in with the spirit of this one and that those who shot seemed to enjoy it.
