600 NRA target size.

#1 Post by 1066 »

Can anyone tell me the actual size of the Bull and the V bull on the standard 600 NRA target?
I was shooting at Bisley on Sunday with my F-Class type set-up but on the standard targets as this was a club shoot. It's difficult to judge how it would have done on an F-class target. - I shot 4 x12 shot strings with everything within the 5 ring. 36v's and 12 5's. I think I have the load about right as the verticle was bang on.

Hi, met you at the f-class training weekend ;)

You can grab the bisley bible from the NRA website and it has the sizes in there for lots of targets. Not sure if the website is working 100% at the moment but

Bull 13 inches
V-Bull 7.8 inches

I would not worry unduly Targetman, I have shot next to lots of F Class shooters who failed to get in the 5 ring at 600, in fact given the size of the scoring area it is not difficult to miss the whole thing!
