2/3 size IPSC Target

[667]

I see where you're coming from but we don't shoot powderpuff loads as is the norm in competitive PPC.

Well... there are "Duty" matches. Duty guns and service ammo ;-)

There are some small pockets of interest in Europe and in South America (especially Brazil) but it's hardly catching on.

It's a very odd duck...a morphing of Standard and Open...

Not sure about calling it an odd duck....really it's neither fish nor fowl.
You could call it a poor Open gun trying to be more Standard, or a bad Standard gun trying to be Open...
I'd hate to see revolver go away, it may not be popular in Europe, but it's growing in popularity here.

You weren't at our nationals.

At the Ontario Provincials this year the highest recorded power factor was far a pistol. It was 196.something.

Would that be .38spl duty loads with a PF of less than 125. IDPA is contemplating dropping the PF for Stock Service Revolver to around 110. 19 out of 20 factory brands tested did not make PF of 125. Tough league when you have to load +P .38spl just to make min. PF of 125.

I was wondering how Bob was going to slide an IDPA reference into this thread...

 

[Canuck44]

Heh I use 8.5" x 11" IPSC targets to practice on at 10 yards. Makes the targets look so much bigger when I shoot my Qualifiers in the Spring. "B" Class in Production isn't all that bad for an old bugger with a bad back.

See you Sean at the Nationals next year.

Take Care

Coming to an IPSC match near you early in 2010:
THE IPSC MINI TARGET

 

[Shelldrake]

Cool.

 

[Slavex]

lets hope those are all legal to use Sean, and that the drawing doesn't change....

so who is going to be the first one to put those at 50m for a match?

"Its a long shot" stage from 2009 Nationals could have used those small targets.

They're based on the published specifications from IPSC.
If IPSC wants to change it, they will pay for a new die.
And trust me, the dies ain't cheap.

Can someone remind me...why do we need these??

It's another option that will help make (mainly indoor ranges) matches interesting.
One more color for the painter that is the Match Director.

I would agree if you wee able to mix the 2/3 targets with the full size targets...but last time I checked (that was in the summer) that was not going to be allowed.

 

[Freedom Ventures]

That was not going to be allowed.

That's right - but it's not going to hamper my new stages.

It hampers me but mainly from a moral standpoint.

 

[relliott]

Man, a .45 hole on that target is going to look huge enough to throw a cat through it!

Isn't that the case for .45 holes in any target?

 

[PeterPan]

I am with you on that, but hey, it is done and gotta get used to.
Aim small miss small

2/3 target

so far 1/2 of the stages at MIC 2010 will be 2/3 target

and for my point of view .......just shoot those damm A's and it will be ok
