That target is not a Scope target.
Ifigured that much. 3 MOA is way to generous for 10 points for scope shooters. Even so, it seems pretty generous for iron sight also. With my Sidekick, Icould often get that 3 MOA in a three group. 5-10 shots within 4 MOA.I'm looking forward to seeing how the Apex and Kodiak do at 100 yards. The 100 yard target has a 6" bull which is nice too.

The military teaches setting the round ball on the the top of the front sight.
Pumpkin on a post. With a high powered rifle thats probably perfect at 100 yards. Center the group 3" high. But for a muzzleloader projectile moving at 1300 fps will be 4.5" high at 60 if its 3" high at 100 yards.For this reason I like the cross targets which allow me to accurately point to the center of the target, which represents for hunting purposes, the place I want to narrowly miss. The center of a bullseye isn't as easily pointedwith iron sights, ergo,pumpkin on a post which can be pointed withmuchmoreprecision.
