Splatterburst targets for 10M AP practice

Post by KDZ »

I've still to develop an imaging system for my indoor range to get immediate feedback from targets. But I already have an outdoor range with a pellet trap used for benchrest, and decided to try "Splatterburst" targets with air pistol because it is easy to see POI after each shot.

Obviously this kind of target is imprecise but I wanted to share a way to change up practice that is fun.

The black disc on official 10M is 60mm, and on the Splatterburst it is 102mm. Scaling these the equivalent distance moves from 33' to 54' to give the same apparent disc diameter (in arc units, etc). However the Splatterburst has 4 x 102mm bulls and one much larger one - and the sight picture is confusing and dissimilar to the 10M target. So I cut out the 102mm bulls and tape them to official targets, which are then shot individually. The sight picture is clear and it is nice to shoot outdoors when the weather is nice (I'm in CA)

If you're looking for insight on how to do a workable target camera, I posted about the one I made in a thread a while back here:

Long story short- an old smart phone with IP camera software on it and a Roku set to the IP camera viewer channel on your monitor.
