    A century old, and still going strong!

    My Swissicon G96-11 is numbered 3454xx, making it one of the last 5000 (1912) of that that type, probably made very early in 1912. So this is a 100th birthday target from "Heidi". (Sorry, getting cutesy again)

    The very first shot (in fact, my first shot after a break of 7 weeks!) wiped out the figure 8 at 12 o'clock. After that, I held a little lower, to allow a clear white stripe between black and foresight blade, and everything else was in the 9 or 10.

    Happy Birthday Heidi - you're doing well for a centenarian!
