The first poll determined that any range over 100 yards should be allowed, with the target size to qualify for membership to be scaled to the distance, with a specified number of hits required.... Please vote for your choice of target size, and add comments if you wish.... If you wish to see a more lenient target for Springers, please specify that in your post.... There is a separate Poll dealing with this issue as well....

the only input i can think of is not to have any more black on the target than necessary as it's hard to see a hit on a black target.

Yes, 1 MOA is normally taken to be 1" at 100 yards, 2" at 200 yards, etc.... The specified target size is the "qualification ring", ie the largest ring where a hit counts, and should, IMO, be marked on the target, centered on the aiming point.... In the first Poll I showed some targets that were white with thin black rings only, white with a black bull the size of the 4 MOA ring, and white with a yellow bull the size of the 4 MOA ring.... They are merely suggestions / examples of what could be used....

Results of this poll are pretty clear.... most want a 4 MOA target used to qualify for membership....

A nice follow up query/poll would be what caliber/gun do you shoot at 100 yards?

I was wondering if this target is acceptable, to shoot for NUAH? My pellets should be here today. The "good ones". I'm pretty stoked. I set my target up last night, at 100 yds, and one foot. Using the guns seemingly second favorite ammo I managed a first shot hit. Then 4 consecutive misses. After that it was off, and on. Plenty enough hits for me feel good about my expectations once my ammo gets in today.
Which brings me to a question, or two. Using the target in the photo; how many shots, culminating in what group size, do I need to shoot to get in?

Even if the rules had been published (which they haven't), how could anyone answer the question about your target without dimensions of it?....

Take a pic of the target with a tape measure at the widest part of the target and re-post.

It looks like the "3" ring is about 4" across.... If the rules are approved, and 4 MOA is decided on, 3 out of 5 shots inside that and you should be a member.... Give it a go and see how you do....

So, a 4 inch bull on the target will be used at 100 yards?

I received my order of "the good stuff", last night. H&N FTT 5.55s. Shot about 20 times. I can definitely hit the paper quite regularly. I didn't spend too much time dialing in my scope, as the light was fading. Additionally, I have 8 differing types of H&Ns line up, slated to arrive today. This weekend could be a great time if the weather cooperates. Kinda excited to see if any of the 8 new types out perform the FTT 5.55s.

Check out Bob's 4 MOA target. It fits really well for 100 to 200yrds.

grimeszee · « **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2016, 11:58:46 AM »

Tim I already printed them out and will have the targets tomorrow for the shoot.

4 MOA was my suggestion, it's Joe's call....
