Targets

[Guantes]

Being of curious nature I was wondering what targets people use/like.

I see some use TQ-15s. Personally I like the B-27-PHQs, the ugly bg gives incentive to my practice.

Sometime back I saw some targets from Europe That were pictorial, with all the internal organs pictured in color. I was never able to locate a source.

I've just been using IDPA or IPSC cardboard.

I want to say that LE Targets (http://www.letargets.com) has paper targets that outline the major organs on pictorial BGs in a subdued gray outline. You can't see the organs from distance, but up close when you are scoring, you can kinda / sorta see what you mighta hit.

Those IPSC and IDPA targets get spendy.
Looking at the LE site, in the General target section tha have Reflexive Fire targets that they say meets Army specs. I would assume (whoops) that they are whats used with the Reflexive Fire training as related by 7677.

Targets? I go cheap, since they're going to be just for punching holes.

For .22 shooting, I use a pair of old woks I bought at Salvation Army for a buck or two.

For paper targets, I buy a large drawing pad for a few dollars, and draw in an outline of a target with magic marker. 100 targets for $3 isn't bad at all.

I like the wok idea, sort of a poor man's Steel Challange.

Yup, and they last longer than the coffee cans we learned on as kids!

I like paper plates too.

Sometimes I use pieces of cardboard cut from boxes that I can tape and color and spraypaint if I'm feeling artsy. Once I made myself a pretty good selection of "Hun's Head" style targets that way.

Another thing that works well for long range rifle targets that bounce are plastic laundry detergent containers. They are pretty tough and will last a good long time. Yes, I pick them up afterwards.

Like DJ and a few others, I've used 9 inch paper plates for years.

The first Quick Kill one day course in Tucson last year we used nothing but the paper plates from 6-30 feet out all day.

I pretty much use the TQ-15 target since I get them for free.
