CrashDodson Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Which brand of paper targets have you seen that have the best perfs? The Atlanta arms targets i saw at area 6 this year had the best I have seen. Ordering new targets for the club and want to get some good ones.

CHA-LEE Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Locally we get our Cardboard USPSA targets from American Target Company. The perfs are good and I have never seen any quality issues. They only stock the Metric style targets though. If you are looking for the Classic IPSC style targets you will have to get them somewhere else. http://www.americantargetcompany.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks, Is this the right one? If so that is a really good price. http://www.americantargetcompany.com/USPA_IPSC_2_target.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb72 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We have been using Shooters Connection targets - they work well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Alco Targets have really good perfs, and very reasonable shipping. I just used some Comp-Tac targets (yes the holster guys) and their perfs were great, but the shipping was more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Perfs should no longer be an issue since they now go all the way through. Still Shooters Connection for my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 The ones we got from LE targets last round were ok but the perfs were not very clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashDodson Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Here is a picture of an Atlanta Arms target and the American Target. You can see the difference in perfs but they are also .20 a piece different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Keep in mind the below USPSA rule. If you want super heavy perforation lines the target still needs to adhere to the below rule. On another note, most of the Colorado Front Range clubs use the cardboard targets from American Target and they have solid perforations that make it easy to score. I have seen cardboard targets from other vendors where the perforations are super faint and it makes scoring them very difficult even if you are only a few inches from the target looking for it. The American Target cardboard USPSA targets are NOT like that. 4.2.2 - Paper targets must have scoring lines and non-scoring borders clearly marked on the face of the target, however, scoring lines and non-scoring borders should not be visible beyond a distance of 33 feet. The scoring zones reward power in USPSA matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Atlanta arms is on the approved target vendor list and I shot these same targets at area 6 this year. So I am not sure. I posted on facebook and troy was Tagged so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) The picture above is from American target. The perfs are visible but not that great. That is such an odd rule too. If your looking for perfs and holes your losing anyway. Edited August 18, 2017 by CrashDodson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 From Troy: Troy McManus Target policy changed to allow through-perfs in all zones, to eliminate the very light, almost un-scoreable perforations we were seeing with some vendors. The non-scoring borders have been visible beyond 33 feet on some targets for a long time, due to being thru-perfed. The new allowance should make it less expensive to produce targets, which should, in time, be passed along to the consumer. I intended to issue a clarification/interpretation on that rule when the policy went into effect, but there were some issues with the ruling system at the time, and it slipped my mind. The more distinct perforations will make target scoring faster and easier as well. I looked at a set a while back, at 33 feet, and the lines, to my eyes, were barely distinquishable. I'm not entirely sure of the provenance of that rule, anyway--if anyone can tell me why that was a restriction, I'd like to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
