Air Pistol Targets was B-40/4 Air Pistol Targets

Post by Kazan »

Right now I am shooting my air pistol using my A-51 Rifle targets , I would like to get some B-40/4 targets because they would be correct for air pistol and still fit my target frames .
Can anyone recommend a good source with cheap shipping to California ?

I don't know what the shipping is to your state, but I get most my targets from http://www.pistoleer.com/targets/airgun/

Before you buy the B-40/4 targets, search the archives for the recurring complaints about the quality of these targets. Many people think that they're more frustration than they're worth.

The Edelmann or Krueger targets cost more, but they are so much nicer to use.

Though they aren't Edelmann's, they are good targets.

I have tried them. They are better than the National targets, but not as good as the Edelmann or the Kruger. I think the best value are the Kruger at $69/1000. http://www.goldmedalshooting.com/

I tried the National Target ones and hated them. They never gave clean holes. The dealer in the link is VERY nice and when I enquired about the various targets he was kind enough to send me samples of each so I could make an informed decision for myself.

I wound up getting the practice targets at $5.00/250.

Generally I have had very good luck with them with very few rips and mostly clean holes. I've used about 500 of them now and shoot 10 shots to the target. I could easily shoot more and still score them pretty well. IMHO for home/practice use they are more than sufficient and a bargain price. The main disadvantage is the shipping is from Canada, and while fairly priced, there is a lengthy delivery time, probably due to customs kind of stuff.

Just my 2 cents...

I wasn't aware he had more than one type of target, so I would guess that no I haven't used the training targets.

I prefer Edelmann targets, thinking my practice should simulate a live match as closely as possible.

I've been happy ordering from Champions Choice in TN, and I live in CA.

if you post your address i'll send you a couple of the krügers, they're great, very thick, and while they're in 'used' condition from ISSF matches my coach keeps scores at, i use them all the time, and they're free, can't beat that eh? CA is CA, postage won't be much, just call it a friendly gesture between AP shooters, take care mate, you won't go back i promise!
