However we do mainly use cadet 5 bull or NSRA types for scoring & training.

All of these keep some interested, & in between they do traditional NSRA target rifle too. I would agree figurines: blood squirting zombies, polystyrene tailors dummies & wig heads, Cameron, Clegg, & whats-his nose name... Osama etc arguably in GB bring the sport into disrepute.

If you want to see what shooting one thing over & over again does to the sport go the the NSRA meeting - lots of my generation, associates, old mates etc aaarggh & older there, precious few of my kids generation. NRA-TR is suffering the same effect.

PM me with an email addy & i can send you some images to print inc NRA TR scaled targets.
Which club do you shoot at? I've been informed by more than one person that the range committee and council have said it. i have been told a few variations, but mainly its nothing militaristic, or resembling a person.

I totally agree it loses interest, and it wound up with me losing interest, but I discovered more calibers than .22RF and now im hooked again

If the backing frame is all white or you cover it with white paper you can see your own shots with scope or binos.
I zero my Enfield like this and it works really well.
Sight info if you need it for MK VII ball 2440fps
Moving the foresight blade .050 (width of blade) is about 6 inch at 100yds. Zeroing at 100 sights set at 200yds POI should be about 3in high.
Each change of foresight blade moves POI 2 inch's at 100yds
thanks, great to know! will have to look and see how pricey shoot and sees are.

Hi, I shoot at Oundle and Huns heads are OK.

The rule is that it must not be any recognizable person.

Hope you enjoy the club, it is a friendly bunch and the facilities are getting better and better.
