'Local Boy' has it correct. The target is a 'scaled-down' Bulls-Eye shot at 50 yards.

The rear-sight was set at 250 yards to correct for the 1903 front-sight (being too tall) and the point of aim (being lower than where I wished the bullets to strike).

A little less sight elevation (and a slight windage correction) would have put all the shots in the 10 ring.

This is hardly the optimum accuracy load for this (or any) Krag. It was just convenient for me and shows things are in the 'ball park'.

p.s. I am 'far-sighted'. I was wearing 1X 'reading' glasses, while shooting. This sharpens the sights, but, blurs the target. Black area of target is 4 & 7/16" diameter.
