Ever want to just whack the heck out of someone with a sword?

Tired of the wussy "Peace Tied" swords at the Renaissance Faire?  Secretly long to whack someone good and hard with a longsword?  Then this is your cup of tea:

For all y'all who've been thinking about brushing off your .22 Rifle skills, ASM826 has a PDF target for you.  He gives the rules:

Borepatch is going to give us a distance and a position. His range is the limiting factor. (Was it 15 feet, standing, no sling?)

Then it will be 5 shot groups on each target, for a total of 25 shots. Any .22 caliber rifle, any sights. This is shoot what ya' got. Scan and post your results. Leave a link back to your site where your target can be viewed, or send a .jpg of the scanned or photographed target to ASM826(at)GMAIL(DOT)COM and I'll post them here.

OK, here's my bit:

RANGE: 25 yards

POSITION: Standing or Offhand

EQUIPMENT: .22 rifle.  Specify scoped or unscoped when you send your target to ASM826.

COMPETITION END DATE: 31 May, so you have through Memorial Day to practice.

ASM826 will post the results, for your 15 minutes of Intarwebz fame.
