As above and in light of the ban on shooting "human shape" targets?

Hi Mike,

Those aren't considered humanoid targets and so are quite legal.

Heather

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

Or is it just another example of political correctness?

We tried using these targets but people continued to call hits in the top box as "head shots", understandable really,
So to keep everyone happy we now use the baby coffins!

Strange world,

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.

No ban on human shaped targets at Sennibridge.

:)

The only reason I asked was someone told me that they were banned in the late 90s on or around the time of the pistol ban.

I think the slavishly submissive followers of political correctness may have applied their own rules to certain ranges!

I take it we cant use these ones then?
