Others What paper target did you shoot today?

[Hateful McNasty]

awesome work. I think I am sold on either making my own target rings or finding an open circle pattern. Im getting tired of looking at crosses while my eyes go cross-eyed.

Ya, I've not used store bought or printer targets in a long time ..

Here is a target I invented. Printed on 8.5 x 11 paper. Lots of fun.

Good point ! I do have to say that ATF in general are very smart firearm people. Its the politics/legislation that ruined their reputation. But, I had worked and trained with many of them in my career. Some of them could write books on the ins-outs of firearms. But if we can't make fun of ourselves or fellow LEO's oncein a while, we wouldnt be human. Just say no to robocop's !

I used to get scolded and told I cant put up pictures of face targets at some ranges I used to go to. Apperently it had a "bad perception". However, my job was qualifying with that. Since this is a target thread, might as well discuss it. Is shooting at face targets at ranges that others can see a bad thing to do? If so, your forcing LE to go elsewhere/private to go and practice. If not, they deal with projecting a "bad" image.

Let the comments begin.

I would like to see this addressed in a new post because it could cover many issues beyond paper targets. All targets should be available at gun ranges. 3D targets are available for archery. We should address in our lives how some opinions carry more weight than others. I'm looking forward to this conversation!

Thanks Moose. We should start a new thread then with target opinion/crutique.

I believe it all depends on what you practice for. I see AR500 steel of squirrel, varmit, etc. Turkey for turkey, deer for deer, but when it comes to having to use it for defense (all types of firearms for that matter) why not use a realistic human picture.

I have gone thru several debates in my career in LE regarding siluette and even colors of them have been deemed "offensive".

Really, we need to take the political correctness out of the issue, and then we will have true training. I used to train my marksmen on movers out to 300 yards on E type siluettes, but always wanted to use realistic manaquins.

Thanks. As Moose suggested, we should start a new thread. Perfect for discussion and wont gummy up this paper target for others.

Your welcome..

Your welcome..

Feel free to suggest a catchy thread name. I think "Offensive Target Discussion" would be appropriate?

I was playing with my 30 cal. this morning till the heat and mosquitoes drove me back into the house. Got some NSA 65gr slugs and found I had to crank it up to 4200 for the slugs to shoot okay and the pellets still seemed to shoot good even at 4200 did not check speeds this time around. The midle target was trying the slugs at 3800 and trying to shoot RH again. Eye is still to messed up so back to lefty and up to 4200.

Nice work. I think either the JSB or NSA are working just fine. Good call on upping the PSI, I think your locked in at that range.
