Target Dimensions

#1 Postby UL1700 » Sat Apr 06, 2019 8:01 am

OK so I have been doing a bit of pre Queens reading and was looking at the target Dimensions and there are a couple of things that I don't quite get / want to check. 1) Are all the 800, 900, and 1000 yard targets actually all the same dimension? 2) Outer (2) ring appears to be 30mm bigger than the height of the target? and 3) What is the "Aim" dimension? at 300 and 400 it would appear to be the same as the Outer ring but then it goes a little haywire!

Sorry for the novice (and potentially idiotic) questions but you have to learn somehow!

And whilst we are at it, if someone could check that my scoring cheat sheet looks about correct that would be fantastic...

1) Yes
2) That's correct. Its possible to get a miss high or low despite being less than 1830mm from the middle.
3) Aiming mark coincides with the 2 ring up to 400, then coincides with the 3 ring.

A couple of things need changing on your table. Indicator for a 1 is black. F Class 6 is just 6 (not Super). BTW for TR V-Bull may also be called Centre or Centre Bull.

Fantastic, thanks for the help Alan, there is a lot of misinformation out there, minor differences between countries and good old designer error! Crib sheet updated accordingly...

Hi James, also easier to use inches rather than millimeters as most scope adjustments are in inches
You might as well be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

I agree and I have an Imperial and a MOA per range version in Excel but that was taken straight out of the rule book.
