freeidaho Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Have y'all thought about something like the RRT. It was austensibly designed for IDPA, but you get the idea. http://www.parmarng.org/freeidaho On the second screen choose a link on the left "Reed_Reactive_Target" It only has steel in the down zero areas. It could be used without paper in front of it so make it a purely steel target. It is also caliber insensitive. A 25cal pistol round knocks it down. kr Edited September 21, 2009 by freeidaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I ran the math... from a distance of 23 feet, a five foot shooter gets to see a quarter inch more of the popper versus a 4 foot shooter, assuming that the hard cover plate is 6" in front of the face of the popper. Just a quarter inch.... Is there anything in the rule book, currently, that prevents a Match Director from turning the white no shoot targets horizontally and staking them right in front of each popper, just leaving the calibration zone and above exposed?

Nope --- but no match director worth his salt would allow that...... Shooters can use that opportunity to get a reshoot at will..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, I knew it was a crappy stage design when I mentioned. I guess if a local club had the steel around or had steel noshoots painted up and ready to go and they were sadistic, they could run their steel noshoots horizontally right in front of the poppers.

Chills1994 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Total instances of "good" found in the USPSA rule book: 0 Total instances of "judgement" found in the USPSA rule book: 0 Just an FYI.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look maintenance sensitive. Current steel is not being maintained by staff-so these might fare worse. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
