Do you know the size of each scoring zone in MOA at different distances yet?

At the risk of getting kicked in the bollox (which i probably deserve), aren't these targets a bit big? At 300yds, the gold is greater than 1moa (closer to 1.5).

Give me a chance all I've got is a single barrel Baikal 12 bore with one of them fluorescent foresights and some RB cartridges for this comp.

Although once I angle grind the rust of it the fore sight might go and have to be replaced with a dab of Araldite.

:lol:

Regarding the targets:
1) This is new to everyone so not everything will be perfect from the off,

2) I chose these targets as a readily available option that will get us started for the postal comp,

3) They are the same overall dimension as the 300m F-Class targets and at 300m they may have a gold bigger than expected but I intend them to be used out to 600m as well, rather than having bigger targets for 500/600m. Cheaper and progressively more difficult,

4) I don't have any experience at this sort of thing, so I don't know what sort of accuracy and difficulty I should be pitching at. I was thinking that someone shooting a lightweight sporter (as per the rules) might find it a challenge to shoot at those distances. If it turns out to be too easy, then we look for a plan B and I've learnt something.

Gold (NOT Inner!) MOA should be 1.3-1.45 @ 300m depending on the calculation used
@ 500m 0.825 - 0.865
@ 600m 0.688 - 0.72

fingerscrossed you now understand what I was thinking kukkuk when I decided to go for these targets!

I think you're trying to lull us into complacency!

Mike,
I ordered them from http://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/ but any archery store should have them in stock or be able to get them.

Don't rush into buying any just yet. I've got 10 on order and can either post one down to you or drop one off in March when I'm down that way.
