    IDPA official targets

    I am not seeing any scoring zones on the targets listed on your website as "IDPA Official Targets". Can you clarify?

    IDPA OFFICIAL TARGETS BUNDLE OF 50 PCS

    I would think they are like the IPSC targets and have the scoring zones as indents or subtle grooves around the zones.
    You have to get close to see them.

    So these are apparently these are USPSA/IPSC metric targets and not actually official IDPA targets.

    I got a reply from Tenda. The Tenda representative confirmed that the product for sale is actually the official IDPA target.

    Thanks Tenda!

    It would be great if Tenda could confirm same here, and clear up the issue with the photo of the product that is being advertised.

    I purchased targets two months ago, after asking Tenda to take a quick picture of their stock. They were very willing to accommodate.
    They are USPSA, which makes no difference to me, but may to you.

    This is their forum.

    Thanks. And that's why clarification is needed.

    ^You're welcome; for what it's worth, I dug out my receipt confirmation, the invoice shows that I purchased 14 units of "IDPA OFFICIAL TARGETS BUNDLE OF 50 PCS", so someone there may simply not be aware of the difference? I did tell them....

    Not meant as a dig against Tenda, quick to ship, great prices, A+ dealer, would recommend, blah blah...but (Inigo Montoya voice) I do not think those targets are what you think they are.

    From what has been said, and the photos at the website, I don't think they are the official IDPA targets at all. But I continue to welcome clarification from Tenda. I have also had good experiences with them in the past, so I suspect there is some sort of mix up.
