Larue, plates and poppers

[Doug H.]

i might add that the stage 2 RO's were calling hits on the larues. not sure why they weren't for stage 1.

The question I had was why were they calling hits on Stage 2 with steel that falls?

why not? they call hits on flashers. by calling hits, i mean when the larue fell, they called "hit". at 360+ yards it's hard for some folks to see hits anyway. we asked if they were and they said yes. and after what happened on stage 1 thursday morning, that was a good idea.

while on the topic of larues, i'm curious how they are even legal rifle targets, given 4.3 and appendix B7. if i read that right, the dimensions of metal plates have to be between 8" and 12".

Fault lines?

Start a new thread.

I went ahead and split it into it's own topic. Found here:

Hope that helps

I understand why ROs call hits on flashers, they only indicate for a second and thats it, the Larues were down for 9 seconds, no need to call a hit because you can see it's down. The less I hear from an RO the better. In addition there was some coaching of which targets had been hit and which had been missed that I don't like to see at a National level match.
