[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Target/yardage question

Posted: 3/9/2006 4:15:53 PM EDT

If I were shooting at 25, 50 and 100 yrds, what size target would I need to equel 300 yrds at each distance. I have only been able to shoot from 100 yrds and would like to try further. If anyone knows this as well as longer distances please let me know. TIA

I'm confused about what you are asking.

You can't really simulate distance by shooting smaller targets.

Simulate what? Windage? No shit Sherlock.

The NRA has been making reduced distance highpower targets for clubs that don't have a range that goes all the way to 600 yards.

When you can clean (shoot a perfect score) on the MR-31 (600 yard target reduced to 100 yards) from prone, with irons and only a sling and shooting jacket for support, feel free to school the rest of us.

I knew there were targets for this...just didn't know where to get them.

There is no reduced NRA target fo 25 or 50 yards. At a 100 yard range, SR1 = 200 yard slow fire, SR21 + 300 yard rapid fire, MR31 = 600 yard slow fire.
