Kudos go out to Weldon Hines for outstanding scoresmanship. Craig burgess' target below shows only three shots at first glance. A closer look reveals an elongated hole on the upper shot. The lower shot looks like one hole to the naked eye, but it had a darker color than the other holes, indicating two bullets had gone through it. The close up photo reveals a slightly thicker ring at the bottom, but that is not always indicative of two bullets. Weldon based his correct judgement on the much darker color of the hole. That color was more obvious to the naked eye than it is on this photo. There have been several instances at other matches where credit was NOT given for two bullets through one hole on 300 yard targets. This is precisely the reason that the Hillsdale range has adopted the ten image, 300 yard targets.
