is targeting this author.

Welcome to the Six Shooter Challenge for 2023! Your goal is simple: shoot (read) six mysteries by the same target (author). That gives you a notch on your gun, and a perfect 1.000 score; and you can call it done. But wait, there's more! You get bonus points for each additional notch. Unlike many reading challenges, reading more books may not necessarily help your score. Scores are not based upon quantity, but rather focus in completing your target(s). There is no advance signup for this challenge, just read the General Information page and then submit your shot to begin.
R I C O C H E T S from the S H O O T I N G   G A L L E R Y:
updated Oct 1: Avid Series Reader of New Mexico scores notch #3 with author John Sandford and notch #4 with author Monica Ferris!
updated Oct 1: Shannon of The Netherlands scores notch #6 with author Danielle Garrett!
Mystillery Lanes is now open for the 2023-2024 Ten Pins Game! All that reading you have done since January 1 counts!
The Target Hanger will be out of the office from Monday Oct 2 through Friday Oct 6 and this challenge will not be updated during that period. Please continue your shots as usual.

Key to symbols
Notch Sets of six books by one author completed
TCP Target Completion Percentage. This is similar to a baseball batting average. Ratio of notches achieved to the number of shots taken. The formula is (notches/shots)*6. See the chart (PDF). Shots which complete a target will increase your TCP. Shots which do not complete a target will decrease your TCP. A perfect TCP is 1.000 or any multiple.
Shots Number of books read
Bonus Each notch (beyond the first one) directly adds a 0.100 bonus
Score TCP + bonus
