Most of you probably remember the Battleship Game played as a youngster. Well I watched a video of a couple of gentlemen playing the shooting game at 300 yards. So I thought that it can also be played with rimfire rifles, pistols or air guns at an appropriate distance. Here's the video:
A couple of PDF files of the target that I produced are attached. You will notice that one version of the target has the numbers on top with letters on the side and vice-versa. I noticed that there are variations of the game in some online photos. So I have produced two versions of the target depending on the game you have.
When printed actual size on 8.5 X 11 paper, each square is 3/4". I would have liked to made them larger but couldn't due to the constraints of paper size and MS Publisher.
I suggest that you print it on card stock to get clean bullet holes in the paper. If you have a printer that can accommodate larger paper such as 11 X 17 you could select "fit to size" on the options and get larger squares to shoot at. Nevertheless, a .75" square should not be a problem for a precision rimfire rifle at 50 yards. For 8.5 X 11 paper or card stock remember to select "actual size" in the print dialogue.
The rules are modified for the shooting game and printed on the target. Put some money on the game for added stress.
I am open to any suggestions for improving this game. You will have to purchase the game board separately
