Alternative targets set up for 25 M rapid fire

Post by jerber »

I would like to try rapid fire
But the problem is setting up 5 targets
The gun range I go to does not offer this set up
Beside,i would need to rent the next lane (or 2)
So I was thinking I could get smaller targets and try to simulate the real thing
Of course I would put them in shorter distance
I was thinking of using some 10 metre air pistol targets
(I have a lot of the cheap paper that I got by mistake)
However there's another problem
At my shooting range they provide targets backers and they are about 24" wide(maybe a little over)
They won't allow to have targets to stick out past
Since the 10 metre AP targets are 7" wide,I would need 35"
So anyone can help me out and tell me if there's anything I can do/get that would somewhat simulate the 25metre rapid fire?
Of course this is "unofficial" training set up
I'm not planning to be in the Olympics anytime soon!! LoL
It doesn't have to be perfect just something to get a kick out of
Thanks
Jerry

Your range definitely might not like that. We see lots of wall strikes when people shoot multiple close targets.

Your best bet would be to use one target and work on the raise and delivery of one perfect shot. See the training tips for RF on the Pilkguns site.

Yes
I have started to do this
I just wanted to know if there's was some way to set up 5 smaller targets to somewhat simulate the real thing

There are numerous sources for multiple targets printed on the same page. I'm not sure how the proportions would work out, but it would give you some sense of moving from one target to another. Here's an example: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/17239 ... age-of-100

I do have some 5 bulls 10 metre AR targets
I guess I could just cut them and staple them in a row
I'll give it a try
Thanks for the info

Hey!
Im in Tampa and we do not have any large ranges here where we can set up 25 m targets so what we do is one of the following:

-10M RF airpistol targets from Kruger set at 10M from the firing line. We have two different target setups for this distance: One with lights and one without the light setup. The lights were something we had to custom build. A friend of ours set it up and we train at times with this. For the non-light setup, we use a CED7000 timer to track the start and end times for RF.

-7m RF air pistol targets. For this we use it when there are not many spots open on the range. The 7m setup takes just one lane at the range and allows us to shoot when the range is full. For this, we use the CED 7000 timer.

I use 10m AP and 10m AR targets for dry-fire.

As you state fix them in a row, the spacing between the edges of the blacks = half the diameter of the black, then stand at a distance that gives you the correct sight picture. Ideal for warm up in a hotel room on away competitions.
