Geocache Description:

This puzzle geocache is one of 16 that form a "Geoart" on the map. The big question mark!


The final cache container is NOT at the listed coordinates, this puzzle must be solved first to discover those coordinates.

Here are the final coordinates: N 44 13.??? W 124 04.???

Be careful on these narrow one lane roads, you never know what you might meet around that corner. Coordinates could be a little loose here with all the trees and mountains.

A shooting sport is a competitive sport involving tests of proficiency (accuracy and speed) using various types of guns such as firearms and airguns. Hunting is also a shooting sport. The shooting sports are categorized by the type of firearm, targets, and distances at which the targets are shot.

Here is the puzzle:

Each shooter only has one chance with three shots to score a high score of 30. They are both shooting at the same type of bulls eye target. Any shot that breaks the inner ring scores the inner ring point. Norm and Wilcox are the shooters. Norm is up first.
His first shot is just shy of the inner white ring and is in the 5 o'clock area.
His second shot is a bit wild in the outer black ring and is at 11 o'clock.
His third shot is at 3 o'clock in the outer white ring. (minus 3)
Norm's score is: 15
Now it's Wilcox's turn.
His first shot is sharply in the inner black ring at 12 o'clock.
His second shot is barely in the inner black ring at 1 o'clock
His third shot is way off in the outer white ring at 8 o'clock
Wilcox's score is: 24
Wilcox wins!

I hope you can win too!
