I am on this. Need to find my darn tape measure.
Nice video! Im with you on the sticker thing. I dont like stickers. I would rather companies Silk Screen them if anything. I need to get to work on the badges!
Where do you find 5oz tuna cans? All I could find was 7oz... Is there an equivalent, like the bottom of a tin can?

At a grocery store? MJ said a tostido dip lid is the same, or chicken... 8cm is the ring size.

You better bring your A game, my 7 yr old daughter wants to compete, and you don't want her to put you to shame :p
Planning on it lol. I have a 4ft cold steel in the mail, and my copper 1/2" is kickin' butt right now
Great vid duc I would love to hear more about the CT but can we get a conversion of M to FEET?
google dude. 6m- about 20f

8m- about 26ft

10m- 33ft
Video quality will improve with my next attempt.

Bulls eye will grow before I start working on the fifteen meter badge.

Is this good enough for four in at ten?

edit: the CD is only to show that the target is printed to scale. the circle I'm shooting for is the yellow one, approximately one inch smaller than a tuna can.

Here's my 6 meter qualifier: 5/5

Forgot to mention, four foot CT fifty caliber using commercial fifty caliber cones on 6.75" x .047" music wire shafts. Standard shafts are four inches by .040" so these are a little heavier. I'll try to find my scale before the next video.
Nice shooting Neondog! Nice to see a pro nailing the target!
Nice job on your video too MJ! Looks like you are pretty consistent, just need to move your aim down and to the left.

Yeah and it's funny because I know that and I tell myself to do it but I still don't. And when I really try to correct I end up shooting way down and to the left. I think it will work itself out in time.

Yeah I was going to say that before your edit, that since i knew the scale of your official target, that the darts in the yellow are well with in the tuna can diameter... Good shooting 4/5 is what you qualify for...

Though the qualifier is upto 10m. If you or any one else tries for 15m we will make a badge for it, but any distances past the 10m must be increments of 5. So that's 15, 20, etc. I don't want to have badges for every single meter :)

Good job
