50 m target transporter: how fast?

[JeroenH]

For competition shooters who are using a classical paper target on an 50 m indoor range, having a motorized target transporter ...

- How long does your system take to move the target 50 m away from you or back to you?
- How do you experience this transport time? E.g., totally fine / acceptable / a bit too slow / much too slow...?

It depends. Some systems are certainly faster than others :)

Next time I'm in Varsseveld, Hoogeveen or Hardenberg I'll time the duration but for the 50 meter smallbore optics competition, where one has 45 minutes for 30 match shots + sighters, transport is always more than adequately fast for me.

Tip: get in the habit of retrieving the target as soon as you're done with the shot (including follow through), before even ejecting the spent case.

It doesn't matter: it is out of your control amd you cannot change it. You get extra time when shooting on paper targets.
You should use a scope to see your impacts.
