What To Call "No Shoot" / "Penalty" Targets

[bpowe]

I voted Penalty Target...

But they should be named Dobie, as in Croc Dundee "Out of the way, Dobie!"

A few months ago I spent too much time explaining to someone why we shoot the "non-white" targets and don't shoot the "white" targets.  They were seeing racial undertones.

The simple explaination that I use:

"We shoot the brown targets because they are harder to see against the dirt backstops."

The general response to that has always been "Uh, OK." Sometimes you can tell they were all set to argue your answer, but I've never had anybody not accept my explaination.

Nolan, This is a great answer. I will use it the next time I have some PC person ask me about the why of the colors.

Thanks.

I voted for Ice Cream Men. It stems from my dislike of the twit who drove my neighborhood blaring "It's a small world" at 100db during my the baby's nap time. He did so despite my asking him to just turn it off for my portion of the street. There are only a few teenagers on my block anyway. I made war. I won.
