Blogger V Ring makes his own scaled targets to practice for the Creedmoor

A year of waiting, preparing, a new rifle and new bullet. Everything was looking good for a banner year for me and I was excited to be going. Sadly, it did not happen. We learned from Rick that the event would be cancelled due to the Corona Virus.
