I received a BIG target shipment today (178 lbs!). My UPS driver, a former Desert Storm Marine, waited for me to open to boxes and check out the new targets.
DPS has switched to the B-27 target. Either Blue, Green, red-orange or black can be used (with the recommendation from the DPS range staff being green). The human eye is supposed to "see" the color green better.
Also the CoMass has been lowered to teach shooters to aim for the center of this target. Hopefully this will reduce the number of shots that go over the shoulders from heeling under stress or from non-participant reactions.
I opened the wrong box though and got into my practice targets , the B-27E (E-economy which is 10' shorter than the standard B-27).
Note : the qualification target will have 10" added on the bottom of this.
The scoring target is as follows:
Same qualification scores apply : Max-250, Pass- 175 ( which is ridiculously low).
When the UPS guy complained about the weight of all those targets, I told him wait until next week when the big year-end ammo shipment is delivered !
