Fina:
The following observations were made:
- Thanks go to "Janet" who provided the a sheet of targets while I was bore sighting in West Texas.
- If color printing is available the "target cirlce" areas can be altered from the current black/whits.
- Modifying the Master Target file to incorporate different "center-images" is realatively.
- The "X" version worked extremely well when using a laser bore sighting via the barrel for dry fire scope setup.
- The target worked well for bore sighting a Ruger MK77 .243Win on local indoor ranges 50/100 yrd.
- The "X" target has been used at a local indoor pistol range at 7/10 yrds.
