Finally, at last! The Iron Man photos are here!
I just rolled in early this afternoon, took the slow road home, too.

So sit back and enjoy the finest Iron Man pictures you ever laid eyes on.
These are best viewed on a full size screen, not one of those puny pocket jobs.
P.S. There is a Sony camera "selfie" in there just for you, Mary. And, a wild turkey showed up during my shooters relay on turkeys.

This was my third Iron Man match. '03...'11...'14. This range begs for BLACK targets. White shows up well at first but fades as light conditions change and as hits start messing them up. It is much work to keep them well painted when white. Black shows up well no matter what light is present. Low paint maintenance, too. How about white left facing for standard gun, black right facing for hunter gun like we do here in CO ? Opinions?

Thanks for the pictures Bob. Sorry again I didn't get to meet you and treat you to some of our local brews. Guess you'll have to come back next year!

Fortunately, I had plenty of my favorite brew on ice. Oh yeah, got more time now. This one is now on my regular yearly silhouette "tour" schedule.
Now back to my black target thing. The very word "silhouette"....a black figure comes to mind..no? I talked to TK about this, several before me that weekend expressed the same thoughts. They will look at it he said. Make no mistake, I hate white targets. We still shoot half and half here just to satisfy the very few white target lovers. When they quit, all black both guns will be the rule. Some ranges I know must use white for maximum contrast. This range is not one.

I'll talk to some guys about it here, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They've been white here for a long time.

Whigte is good.
We shoot black at Tucon all the time. I like white. Besides that............. the black ones are hard to pick up in the summer. They get damn hot.

FWIW....
White harder to see in the desert with the high heat waves and wash out depending on the background
Black show up better for scopes but not iron sights
Shot at a few ranges where they did all of them in florescent Orange and/or lime green, odd when first seeing them, but could pick up real well with either a scope or open sights.
Only rule is they all have to be the same for everyone.
