Sport Pistol at 50’. Targets?

I have a new junior shooter who wants to start ISSF 25m sport pistol with the .22. We only have a 50’ indoor range. Is there a reduced version of the B17 target?
Or, should I simply have her shoot the B17 and based on shots close to the center evaluate her hit/miss percentage.

Thanks
Mike

Re: Kowa TSN-1 a good spotting scope for smallbore outdoor prone?

Bird watchers are probably the most meticulous scope critics. Find some of their more popular forums and see what opinions they have. They may also have some buy, sell trade options where a good deal could be found. On another note: Light gathering ability is usually the benchmark for spotting scope...

Hotel lodging within 30 minutes of the range is over $150 a night. The only affordable lodging is the barracks, of which I've s...

Your are not stirring up trouble at all.

Re: NRA Championships at Camp Atterbury

Dan, The range cover is large enough so everyone can remain under it. The parking area is a higher elevation than the range, and last year the walk down from the car to the range level was treacherous for more that a few. Consider wet grass in the morning and sloping hillside. Maybe they've added so...

Re: Kurger targets are no longer accepted by the NRA

If NRA no longer recognizes Kruger targets, and a match director wants to use Kruger targets for the match, it seems the solution is use whoever targets you desire and sanction it with an organization that actually promotes competitive shooting in 2021. There are a few out there.
