Are these targets legal in the UK?

[Chuck]

these look like IPSC type targets (Tombstone Targets) and are quite legal, there is no such thing as an ILLEGAL target unless it is alive...IMO of course. Of course the PC mob have a field day on anything these days..

Errr how many of us shoot HUNS head, charging soldier etc etc on military ranges...shooting these will not make you run out and kill someone FFS! If that were true then every armed soldier and cop would be running amok...whuch they are not.

Ask whoever told you this to tell you the Act of Parliament. 99.9% sure this is typical gunshop/range BS.

Did he actually say 'illegal' or did he say 'banned' - because he might have meant 'banned... by the rules of this range/club.'

I know my club states that no targets should be used that depict an actual person, i.e Osama bin laden etc,

We still use the huns head though

Is there an actual ban on "human shaped" targets?

Or is it just another example of political correctness?

Not that I'm aware of,,,However I do know that the Cadet forces are not allowed to use the normal MOD Issued Figure 11 targets with the picture of a soldier on them...they have to use a variation of the target...

No but they can sit at home and play "Call of Duty" or other type games all day long, bloody silly PC nonsense.

ABSOLUTELY!!

And then they think that, that is what real war is like??
