Back in the 70's we used CIL 5 bull, 20 yard paper targets at The Calgary Rifle and Pistol Club for sporter shooting. Gee we use to go through packs and packs of them! If anyone has one they can email me I would appreciate it. I want to reproduce it for my own shooting. Even the dimensions of the various things like X ring, 10 ring the size of the black etc would be fine.

I sure would love to have an original one for old times sake. PM me for my mailing address if you have one.

Thanks,

Eric
 
what I have is the 6 bull Canadian army 20 yard target - I could scan one of those and send it in an email attachment
 
I remember those, 2 shots per target, score was out of 100 possible points. Long ago memories, have not seen those for decades. I've found one of the best targets for 22RF are the single Black on White GAMO air rifle targets printed on heavy paper. There was also a similar target made by STOEGER airguns, Red centre, White background. Also heavy paper and easy to score as the holes are nearly a perfect cut. Unfortunately I can't locate those either.
 
ok that makes 2 of u - they're on 8.5x11 sheets- hey admin do we ant to make this a sticky?
 
if you're in Calgary I spose we could meet - but be warned the originals are awful soft- you're better off with a copy

Eric , I'm certain that we used those for indoor ''Turkey'' shoots up North back in the '60's.

Were you around too shoot or participate back in the 60s? Jesus ur older than me. That don't happen often! Awesome got me feelin spring chicken HAHA. I am of course just tryin to be humourous because of our prior conversations. Cheers Skwerl
 
I don't have an original, which we used for the CIL awards program in the late 70's.
I think I have something electronically that was based on those targets though. It'll have to wait until I can get into work again, might be a while.
 
i'm sure that I have some of these very thin paper, almost newsprint. some with 5 bulls some 6 (one sighting) think some marked "straight shooters" and some marked for RCACC. i'll look around next time

I found one in my stash and scanned it. Then noticed the logo and found it online. It struck me at the time that it was very similar to the old targets we used to shoot. I don't know if the scoring rings are the same dimensions or not, I think it's a bit harder than the old CIL ones. Remove space in H TTPS to enable links.

Back in the ''olden days'' I'd go with my dad to the Fish & Game Turkey Shoots . There were 5 shooting stations with a random .22 at each . (open sights )_. At $1.00 per shot he would let me have 2 shots after he found a good shooting gun that he won a turkey with . Thats how flippin' old I am Longstud , way older than I look..ha, ha

That first link looks interesting. I will have to print it off to see what it really looks like. As you mention I think it might be a tad harder than the old CIL targets.

Thanks for the links.

I remember shooting on those half moon targets back when I was a member of the Kings own Calgary Regimental Military Rifle Assoc. Or KOCR's for short. We use to shoot in the basement of Curry Barracks in Calgary. A dark, dingy poorly lit range, but what the heck it was fun. When I was a junior I use to pair up with Lt. Col. Steve Johnson. Seems we made a winning junior/senior combination for DCRA indoor postal competitions. The rifles used were No. 7's.

Ah the good old days .....
