Numbers by targets.

[ateallthepies]

When shooting a course do you like to have the target number displayed next to the relevant target or leave without and have a greater chance of shooting the wrong one?

Just gleaning info for our Southern Hunters round in a couple of weeks.

Good question.

At one place I go they don't put numbers next to the target, where as another place they do. So me I'm not fussed

However if you are not sure which target is at the required peg. Just pull the string & look where it ends

It helps a great deal especially with crossed strings or when there's two targets in the same general area. Anything to make it easier is a good thing in my book.

Number at the target,i have shot the wrong one before because of crossed stings and some one else in the next lane pulling a string at the same time as me.

[ateallthepies]

Most annoying shooting the wrong target I agree. What's worse is if you then miss the target you wrongly knocked over

Looking like I will need to make some numbers up

It is helpful to have the targets marked with the corresponding peg number, but only essential if you have lots of crossed strings.
Personally, i don't set a course which has any crossed strings as it is possible to put off another shooter when you are resetting a target.

People call me lazy because I can't spell properly and also make fun on occasions.

Surly not pulling a string to see where the target is lazy aswell?
If you hit the wrong target because you didn't pull the string and people take the piss out of you it's nobodys fault but your own!

How hard is it to pull a string and surly it's worth it??

Exactly right Spence.

What about the practically blind amongst us Spence? Past 15 yards I've no hope of seeing a target even if I pull the string and when there two or three targets on the same tree the numbers help a lot. Let's face it we all want to do. Well because of our shooting ability, not because we're lucky.

Spence can't afford a leup and a walther so tough sheeet

I have always said that if you can't be ar$ed to pull the string and therefore hit the wrong target thats just tough but on reflection it would be sad to beat someone by default just because they shot the wrong target .

The idea is to hit the target you were aiming at , hopefully that would be the one from the correct peg - better still your shooting partner may even tell you ????

Not everyone can Dave, that's why I'm lucky. I need to pull the string so I know which direction to point the gun in! The amount of times my partner has had to confirm it the squirrel at the top of the tree it unreal.

Let's remember we do all this for fun, so making things like this as user friendly as possible is a good thing.

Stop Wan...g then

I have to admit, sometimes when I pull the string I still have problems finding the target espically in places like Buxted where the ground is full of leaves the same colour.
Also saying that, I hope he doesn't mind me saying this but Simmo is almost as blind as a bat yet he's still a top scorer.

Too late for that mate I'll be married in two weeks! They're not necessary but if you have the option to, why not use them?

Did you get that ropeyold TX fixed?

IF you decide to place numbers next to targets may I suggest that you vary the size of these numbers so that range finding by bracketing the numbers themselves cannot be done - NOT that anyone on here would do that!
