[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1338207, member: 4235"] Go_Ordnance, I've never seen those sniper targets before. They look pretty fun. I like shooting reduced size targets... my favorite are the 25m Army Qual. Test targets, like we use at our Appleseed marksmanshp clinics. They look like this: [b][Broken External Image][/b] When posted at 25m, the targets are the same size in MOA as man-sized targets at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards. It is all shot from field positions (no bench rest or bipod)... Stage 1 is 10 rounds from standing in 2 min., Stage 2 is standing transitioning to seated (or kneeling) with mags of 2 and 8 in 55 sec., Stage 3 is standing transitioning to prone with mags of 2 and 8 in 65 sec., and stage 4 is 10 rounds prone in 5 minutes.

It is actually the AQT they used back in the '50s and '60s, in the days of the M-1 and M-14. Reduced size targets are cool because you can shoot them with your battle rifles or your rimfires.
