Does anyone know of a source of these in the UK?

They are 72"x69" with a 24" black. 3" X ring and a 6" 10 ring. In the US they are identified as 500 MR targets by the NRA. I have tried the range office at Bisley.

These are the official 1000yd FCSA targets and we are looking at running sanctioned matches in the UK from November - so before I order a load from the US - I am looking towards the UK and Europe first.

No idea.

I used to get my stuff from ALCO targets, not sure if they do those.

Very helpful at the time, even splitting packages to cut costs / duty. UPS delivered very quickly.

The Range Office should have the Bisley F Class 600 yard target face which has the same ring dimensions, but without the 5 ring as it scores from 5 to 1 instead of 10 to 5:

24" Aiming Mark, 3" V Bull, 6" Bull, 12" Inner, 18" Magpie, 24" Outer, 30" Hit

We (HRA) looked in to getting these a while back now. Couldn't find anyone in the UK that made them and to get them printed had a huge set up cost.

In the end we sourced a load from Speedwell targets.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.
