I bought 100 from US Target, I have been happy with their bullseye targets.

These B-40's, not so much, as they tear. I can back them with cardboard, but still....

Does anyone know where to buy Krüger in USA?

I believe Krüger has left the USA direct market. You can get NRA dealer Tag b-40/4 target. Just have to do a little digging. They can be found..Ebay, Amazon, others. Not sure how the tag reacts.

Might be able to get them from Europe. But I think b-40/4 are strictly a US configuration.

Years ago I would tape single Krügers in a set of 4 and hang that.

American target:
B 40/4
10 Meter (33 Ft.) Air Pistol 4 Bullseye
Official NRA Target

Size: 14 X 14
Type: Tag Board
Per 250: $39.00
Per 1000: $125.00

But... I don't see them listed anymore. Might be worth a call.

Champions Choice does not have them, and told me they couldn't get more.
Our host sells them, as does Krale.
Mine don't have the B40 printed on them. They are ISSF 17cm square targets.

Interesting, there must be some politics in the background going on.

I heard from Krüger this morning, they'll sell direct to me, or they told me that I could ask Pilk for a reorder.

I think I'll try to put together a group order if anyone's interested....

Politics is the problem. The NRA refused to renew Kruger's license to make NRA approved targets because they wanted to stick with "made in the USA" targets. Kruger USA has closed up shop. Kruger in Germany is still going strong, but only makes ISSF targets. I don't know if the 4-bull version is ISSF or not.

The "B-40/4" designation is strictly an NRA thing. I'd be surprised if Kruger made an ISSF version.

I do not want the B-40/4, I want the regular single target B-40 17cmx17cm

Another option that might save on shipping is to buy Kruger targets from Canada:

A NRA B40 target is not 17cm x 17cm. They are slightly longer vertically.The targets I get from Krale are ISSF and are square.

If you want the extra size of true NRA B-40's, you will have to settle for US made paper that doesn't punch nice holes as well. Based on an informal survey of US made .22 targets, American Target seems to be preferred over National Target. I have no idea how good their air pistol targets might be.

Their AP targets are on the same stock as the rest of their products.

I've found that a piece of 2" wide masking tape on the target back helps a lot.

You can use a more narrow tape if you can shoot well.

Hello-

We recently ordered targets direct from Kruger in Germany. They shipped via DHL on 6/18/21 and arrived 6/30/21. Joachim and Margarete were very helpful. We placed the order on-line, they sent an invoice by email, and we called them with our credit card info. Easy transaction, excellent people.
