Hi Mark
Agreed that finding the target in blue is easy as is yellow but I think (thats me) what is needed is a way to clearly identify the KZ after 80 or more people have shot at the target and hit and missed. We both set courses to give people equal chances at the reducers by equally interspersing them around the course but if we had a way of making a target as easy to see(not read) at shot one and shot eighty then that has to be the way to go regardless of how much free paint we have available. At the Worlds I have to say I had no problems in seeing any of the targets (yellow with black KZ) just the nut behind the butt of my gun was f@@Ked. I must say though that although it doesn't really bother me that people who don't like the black on black reticle KZ should be accomodated especially as we are trying to get away from the eyesight test thing.
