Any CGN sponsor carry these?
They would be a hit a my local club.

I use these at my range, no complaints.

I find, the Fuddier the range, the dumber the rules. In the least Fudd-infested ranges, Fig11 and other 'human shaped pieces of paper are A-OK.
Human shaped targets...sound very uncouth to me! Imagine teaching your kid to shoot at the range and there's a human shaped target there and somebody is saying, "aim for that guys head..." or "aim for his heart..." Really, I wouldn't be impressed.
Whaaaa... Shooting at a figure 11, in your mind, is the same as wanting to shoot a real person?
How long you been voting NDP?
Fair enough. Personally, I'd go the other way. I think 3D people targets would be a blast. Similar to the archery ones (ie. the archery animal targets, but the human kind
). That would make for a fun 'action' target course.Each to his own, I suppose.
It's all about teaching the younger generation good ethics! About setting good examples! Kids don't always interrupt things the way adults do...On one hand, we're teaching them never to point a gun at another person...then we say, go ahead, it's OK to shoot the "paper" man...
Sorry, I meant to say "interpret"..not "interrupt"
Well, figure 14 and figure 11 targets are commonly shot at in CQB and service rifle matches. Also it can get even more realistic at some precision rifle matches. I suppose it is your choice not to shoot at ranges that offer those courses of fire.
I agree that teaching kids to shoot is great. I would just explain to my child what the circumstances are for those targets. Be careful that those kids never see any video games either.
Real guns...are one thing. Video games are another. Kids at the range are handling real guns. Teaching them to use them properly and to respect them and understand what their purpose if for....is not a game. When you are telling the kid to shot at the human-shaped paper target, what are you instructing them to do? Are you telling them to aim at the "kill zone" as you would a deer target. Are you telling them to always strive to make a "clean" kill...Sounds a bit crude, especially, like I said, for the younger ones. What are the circumstances for those targets...just curious
I teach them to keep shooting at centre mass until the threat is neutralized...YMMV.
You are the one saying "telling the kid to shoot at a human shaped target", not me. I do know the difference between a video game and real life. Same as I know the difference between a paper target and a real person. If you are truly interested in finding out about the matches I mentioned, you can search for information. I don't expect that "kids" can enter those matches. However, it is possible that you could find someone practicing for a match at a club.
I am interested and I will hunt down some information on the topic...thanks for sharing your point of view.
