I finally finished the range marks on the aft scope frame. The marks are, from the bottom up, 25, 50 200 and 300 yards. the black in between the 25 and 200 yard marks is the 100 yard mark. This quick refference will always get me on target, then fine tune from there if a bullseye is desired.
Next project is to get some lead mixed and cast some bullets and test them at 100 yards. Stay tuned!

All of the 2026 targets will be shot with lead from two sailboat keels. I will use the lead "as-is" to cast the lead bullets...then see how accurate they will be compared to other lead options such as wheel weights.
This is the keel of the second boat, it has yet to be melted down.
Wading across the creek each time to set up the 300 yard target won't be easy!
