Kevin, The books started in 1987. I also stand corrected, I started shooting HP in 1982. Wow, 30 years. At our local club there are just two of us still shooting that shot the first year we had silhouette. Those were the days!

Take a picture of your old photo with your digital camera and post it, it takes a little practice but they turn out surprisingly well.

I started in 86 but had bought a half set of 22 targets in a LGS 82 and was shooting them with pistols and plinking style rifles not realizing there was a formal game.

BTW I still have the half set of targets {welded steel} and shoot them from time to time at family reunions and weddings. The day I bought them I remember thinking they were cool looking, they were 35.00 , seemed like a lot at the time. Of course they have been repaired many times from being the subjects of penetration tests like 17 remington at 300 yards or 220 swift at 500yds and yes the go right through them.
