IDPA official targets

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.
 
Must be a typo..
There are official IDPA targets, and there are official IPSC/USPSA targets.
There is no official IDPA/USPSA target. IDPA does not use white and the scoring zones are different between the sports.

Yep, hence the need for clarification.
 
They don’t know what they are selling. Wolf is right.
This is an expensive mistake for Tenda and/or their customers.

Speaking from experience dealing with Tenda, just because they say something doesn't necessarily mean I believe them. I honestly wouldn't in this case unless they take some targets out of a bundle and post pictures of the scoring zones.

Today I received the package of...USPSA targets. I've informed Tenda of my desire to return them for a full refund; Tenda hasn't yet replied to my message.

I'll update this thread when I know more.
