If you're as tired of all this snow as I am...

...here's a snowman to shoot your handgun at.

Take six shots, one for each eye, mouth, and button.

10 points for each hit, although only the first hit per eye/mouth/button gets the 10 points. After that it's 5 points for a head shot, 3 points for a belly shot, and 1 point for the bottom of the snowman. And only three shots in the head area will count.

Maximum of 60 points.

I suppose if you're shooting a .45 or something you might get him right between the eyes and hit both of them, but only one eye/mouth/button will count per shot. Won't be a problem for me as I only have a .22.

Distance: 5 yards. At least that's the distance I'll be shooting at, if you want to go longer more power to you!

Made it to the range today. Here's my best attempt, the second out of three. A 41. Almost a 48 but not quite. Couldn't help but shoot him between the eyes though, I managed to do that on all three targets.

Now can somebody start up a real competition please?

Great target!! Can I paste pictures of my neighbors who did not shovel on it?

Be my guest... the head is a 2 1/2" circle if that helps you size that photo...

Damn, I looked at this thread a couple weeks ago and then forgot about it. Is the contest over? I noticed there is no end date for it... but I also noticed the snow is gone...

What the hell happened to any interest in the competition? It looks fun to me.

I didn't think anyone took this seriously other than myself. According to the US Naval Observatory, the Vernal Equinox, which signals the end of winter and beginning of spring, is at 1:32pm EDT on March 20th, so how about using that as the deadline?

Of course I would just be happy to see anyone else post a target, no matter when.

And if someone wants to start another competition, there is no need to wait on this one!

A good way to garner support for your competition is to post a description and link to your thread in the last online competition that just ended. I rarely think to check out this section of the forums... but if it is linked in a thread I'm already subscribed to then I'll be much more likely to see it.

Thanks for that idea, I will do that if I think up another one. I'll let someone else take a turn for now though.
