do these look like they are the right size
« on: May 29, 2009, 02:38:39 AM »
I built a set of targets for 22 handgun.  I used the ihmsa website to get the dimemsions. 

i cut them out of an old dumpster with a plasma cutter.  from what i understand i am supposed to shoot them at 40,60,77 and 100 meters with iron sights.

IHMSA distances are chicken, pig, turkey, ram at 25, 50, 75, & 100 yards or meters.  Your targets look proportionally correct, but it is impossible to tell without actually seeing the real thing.

Distances are correct for NRA SB Rifle NOT handgun. For SB Handgun NRA distances are 40, 50, 75 and 100 meters. Used to shoot chickens at 25 meters but due to splash back it was changed to 40 long ago.

To me the pig and chicken look overly large but as stated it's really hard to tell from just a photo.
