EricW Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Does anybody make reduced scale IPSC targets for shooting at shorter distances? Our indoor range is only 50', so full scale targets really don't cut it to simulate distance shooting. I realize that I could make my own, but would prefer not to hassle with it if I don't have to. (I know some people make reduced-scale targets for *dry-fire*, but I'm talking about shoot-em-up targets here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Eric, Reduced scale IPSC targets are used exclusively by "IPSC" Airsoft clubs in Hong Kong and I suspect in other places too. You might try contacting "Dumborat" (or one of the other guys) in this thread, where there are also a bunch of links to US based suppliers.

Jasonub Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 in the philippines i practice with a reduced target showing only alpha and charlie. you can cut it using a board cutter if its not available there. or better get a classic target and cut the delta to make it smaller. That way it will teach shooters to shoot only alpha and charlie, since a delta with these targets are misses. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Beverley Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Eric The UK also has "IPSC" Airsoft clubs using a reduced size target. They use the Classic target shape scaled down to the size of the Classic "A" zone. The same target is used for UKPSA "Mini Rifle" matches. Certainly not a recognised IPSC discipline but basically IPSC style matches shot with .22 rim fire rifles such as the Ruger 10/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 No sociopolitical implications. I just was looking for something for personal practice and no other reason. You won't drive to the IPSC match in Spokane and find 1/2 scale targets at 50 yards this summer. I could cut out A zones, but the "problem" is that you lose the front sight/target shape relationship, which is what I'm trying to duplicate. At my meager level of skill, I need to see that relationship. I find it kind of hard to believe that no one makes a reduced scale cardboard target. But then again, with the current trend of 7 yard hosefests, maybe I'm not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 EricW, As I understand what you're looking for, this should be it exactly. 4 to 1 ratio reduced scale targets, with scoring zone perfs that maintain the sight to target size relationship.

james h Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 oh oh i think i have to be careful but im going to correct Neil's comments. (time to lock the bunker door) the "ipsc" airsoft classic targets are half size and the mini rifle ones are third scale of the universal rifle target. both retain the same proportions of the real thing. they are made in the UK but i dont think its worth your while asking me to post them to you unless you really want some. cost is about 60 pence ($1.20) each...... actually to be fair he never gets the chance to shoot at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Beverley Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 James Thanks for correcting this. I don't shoot either discipline and I was going on information I believed to be correct. Clearly it was rubbish information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Umm, be careful how you use the term "classic" when referring to targets.. They do indeed used scaled down targets of the IPSC Metric design in Japan and other places. I have personally perforated a few with a full-auto air-soft M-16 while in Tokyo. Good fun but just not the same as the real thing. I'll ping my contact in Japan and see who manufactures them and post the info I get.

diehli Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Eric, the kind that Chris has are IPSC in every way but the size. Cardboard, sturdy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james h Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 when i say classic i mean the octagonal kites not the a/b targets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 just cut out the delta portion and use the alpha-charlie reduced target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWK Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 MMmmmm, 15.00 US for kit and 5.95 shipping, I'll be making my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Those targets are admittedly expensive for what they are because it's not feasible to buy them in multiple thousand lot increments like you can for normal size IPSC targets to get a decent price. The shipping costs is actual FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
