I agree with you Mike, targets do not need to be altered in any way.........UNTIL there are regular shoot-offs required to determine a winner! I haven't seen this yet. This is really an administration thing anyway, shoot-offs are time consuming & targets would need to be adjusted when that becomes a problem. There is nothing wrong with perfect scores, unless they become the norm & not a possibility. My opinion for what it's worth.
This approach always seems to come up when perfect scores are shot, remember one important thing, these shooters are GOOD

& will still win no matter what target is shot at & the rest will still be where they are, down the list, by the way I have seen these shooters fail too (not often), what would we do then? Make the targets bigger?
Another thing to remember is that target shooting is a demanding sport & you only get out of it what you put in, hard work puts you in the winners circle, not target size! So I humbly suggest that we should not try to fix what's not broken! Lets save that until it is broken.
Congratulations to Ben, & Rod, great shooting

Commiserations Matt!
