Hello All,
After trying our luck at 200 m and getting a bit of practice in with the 200m targets we have its getting tempting to have a lot more fun at 300. Have looked all over the place and having trouble finding 300 metre sized targets. Does any one know where to get some from? Or even the correct size paper to buy. Been cruising around the net for a bit now and seem to be able to find some in USA but none here?
Cheers
A 300 m sized target would be ungainly and Im thinking if you need one that big shooting may not be for you.
Your funny........... Looking[emoji13]Quote:

In a sport like ours where there is so much negativity by the anti gunners you should be promoting the community instead of trying to put people off. Not to mention that with some research and a ballistics app our 10 year old was putting holes in a 200m target today at 300m with iron sights and no other help as well.... I hope this has cleared up why we are after 300m targets. The official sized ones for shooting competitions would definitely provide a more accurate gauge of our progress as our abilities slowly develop :-)
You missed the joke.Quote:

He also did not mention any competition shooting and still has not mentioned what type of competition so we are still non the wiser what the hell he is talking about.Quote:

Ahhhhhh lol smiley would have cleared that up lol. Although a 300 meter target would make trying out the Ruger precisions at 1600m a deffinate hit lol
Well yeah but a smiley would be a bit like saying " hey look at the joke I just made" which seems to kill the joke .Quote:

A large target sized correctly to shoot at 300m, with open or aperture sights the size of the black circle (bull) is quite importantQuote:

The NZDA head office may have something.

You can access them from the NRANZ office in Wellington. Go to the NRANZ website and look for contacts. Email the Secretary from the direct link asking for ISSF 300 metre full face and replacement centres. The centres extend only to the 7 ring. Shoot 10 rounds for score on each centre, 6 centres for a match for a possible 600-60x.Quote:

Just curious, is the 300m range target half as big again as a 200? IE how wide are the bull and circles on the 200 and is the 300 1.5x larger?
If that is the case and you know what sizes you are after if you get a 200m target and enlarge it by half then print it out in portions on a normal printer and stick it to a piece of card or paper, you could make your own.
Or draw your own one out using the sizes, cut it into A4 size pieces, scan each and print them out, tape them together and viola...or get them copied at somewhere like warehouse stationary in A3.
Bob, here are some dimensions (in inches) for a 300 yard target if you have no luck with NRANZ you may be able to get a local printer with a A0 sized printer to print some for you.
300 Yard Targets
SR-3 - Enlarged aiming black for use in 300 yard rapid fire matches only. Scoring rings the same as the SR target, with the 8-ring in the aiming black.
X ring 3.00
10 ring 7.00
9 ring 13.00
8 ring 19.00
7 ring 25.00
6 ring 31.00
5 ring 37.00

This is something quite different from the topic which is 300 metre targets. These dimensions that you have posted are used no where else in the world except that septic sore on the planet, the Nazi states of America.Quote:

The ISSF 300 metre target, which is used worldwide (and possibly by a few enlightened souls in the US), has an aiming mark 600mm in diameter. The x ring is 50mm in diameter and the 10 ring is 100mm in diameter. The other scoring rings ripple out in 100mm gains so that the rings are spread exactly 50mm apart.

300 metre targets in use at Te Puke rifle club.
The yellow sticker is the shot marker so the shooter can see the position of their last fired shot when the target is raised.
Thats a fun job when someone ploughs up the top of the bank.
