Who?
is targeting this author!

Welcome to the Six Shooter Mystery Reading Challenge for 2024! 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). No advance signup needed. 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 I, your host, will be out of the office from FRI NOV 8 through FRI NOV 15 vacationing with wife Kathy in Québec City. Mystillery challenges will not be updated during that period. Please continue your submissions as usual, and the challenges will be updated upon my return. - Rick M.
Nov 5: Colleen (Illinois) carves notch #12 with author Jennifer Lynn Barnes !
Nov 3: Linda B (Kentucky) carves notch #37 with Broadway is My Beat (old time radio dramatizations)
You can preview the Six Shooter Challenge for 2025. (same old smoky shooting gallery, no changes).

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
