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.
