Seriously, I have volunteered to provide the stick-on super Vs and have a monochrome laser printer. So I guess they will need to be either white solid circles or white rings on black. I could easily bring both, and we could run both types on different targets as Paul suggested. As an interesting little exercise, we could do the statistics and compare the scores on each type.
BTW all who are making suggestions are no doubt intending to be there?
Would love to be there,last time I was in Corryong was July 1961 to buy a sheepdog off an old chap who bred top dogs.Beautiful place but soooo cold,was lucky to get out with anything in my Yfronts"sorry Ratshot,tis true".Would bust my budget to get there now Alan.
I was serious about red centre,could be cut out of contact paper, Ray
Giday feed back GOOOD!!! Coloured targets not really an option as we use orange and green value discs match rifle style ... V orange 5 green 4 orange 3 green etc ... not the cumbersome value paddle. coloured discs quicker and easier.
Thanks for explanation Ratshot,might have got an extra centre put in
target but as to changing spotter colours,not a chance,stuck with paddles
I'm afraid.Much prefered nail on frame and value hung accordingly.Take your eyes off target for 5 secs with paddles and you miss it.Was just fishing around to see what possibilities there are to accomodate FO on a two target range?
Ray.
PS Twas -2* to 1* here last Monday,few snow flurries,some pea hail,very
bracing.Can sit inside in the warm these days,summer is brilliant,23* to
30*,"nice".

I'd be interested, as I'm sure others would be, in what the Open shooters who shot at the recent SA DRA teams event thought about the super V ring that was used. Those that I have spoken to all shot Std (including Trev) but they have all said that it was very difficult to see and therefore of not much use in terms of an aiming mark. Any comments guys?
Alan, they didn't use a full white centre just a drawn line which is why it was difficult to see, but I can see how the white dot would create problems as well. I'm not sure what the answer is in terms of getting a combined target but would like to hear from the Open guys, since I haven't spoken to any of them about it yet.
Hi Lynn.
Have to agree that the centre ring used at the DRA teams the other day was very difficult to see specially after the normal 6 ring had taken a hammering.I have shot on the normal fullbore target with a white 1/2 minute centre in it(at Kapunda a couple years ago) and found it was as good to aim at as the championship target. If mirage gets bad I think the champ target is actually harder to centre on because the ten ring and the eight ring seem to merge causing one big indistinct white blob in the middle. I don't think the fullbore target with a white centre would get as bad. If it wasn't for the fact that some fullbore shooters see the white centre and complain it would be my choice as an 'F'class std. target given that most won't shoot on the championship one. Hope to catch up with you Sunday at your O.P.M.
Regards Malcolm.

Malcolm,
I agree that particularly at 300yds there is a problem with damage to the centres regardless of whether using the open target or the super V. We have been using cheap stick-ons often, sometimes more than one for a single shooter as a way of alleviating that. Also the standard patches are too big so there are options such as custom patches with the correct radius super V line or 10 ring edge on them.
The event at Corryong will be at 1000 yds (only) and the super V will have a diameter of 152mm (if the 800yd fullbore target is used). This is unlikely to pose any problems with obliteration of the lines (unless Paroz does the sensible thing and brings his open rifle ). So I hope we can have both types of super V (hollow and solid) there to try.
Can anyone tell us whether mirage is common at Corryong?
black or white it is, now we need a date ,youre input would be good ,i already have some very tidy donations,markers , and a range officer,and thank you Alan for the super Vs.
Whats the format Chopper, is it all in or are there going to be seperate grades for F open, standard and TR? cause it has been stated that a .308 or 223 wont cut the mustad against open rifles especially at 1000 yards. Your answer may make alot of minds up in regards to attendance.
The organisers might be tempted to say there will be separate trophies for F-Std only if the numbers are guaranteed - that seems to be the way things are done in the north-east (just kidding).
I personally would like to see 3 classes being F-Open, F-Std and another one for Match Rifle. TR (and FS for that matter) could opt for either FS or MR depending on what projectiles they use. To keep it affordable why not just have cloth badges i.e. no other trophies at all. Badges is what most of us seem to value the most.
separate grades, FO, A and B grades foor FS, TR has been invited to compete for f class trophies if the wish or what ever you can recommend remembering it is for f class trial of super v targets and promotion
