    Bell Target

    Hi

    Five feet to the centre of the bull in our league, and seven yards ( 21 feet ) to the oche. I understand that some leagues shoot over 6 yards?

    Most leagues 5ft from the floor do know one thats 5ft 2inch.

    Standard distance is 6yds. But some leagues use 7yds which is the length of a skittle alley making it multi purpose.

    We have now bought a Mk7 and a Mk 8 bell target from redrob and look forward to getting started.

    If we can get enough support we will start a local league - if not, we will have a lot of fun with some singles and pairs competition within our own members.

    I am sure once we get going and people see it in action it will spread and we will get there in the end.

    That sounds like a good idea - it would be great to get a local Bell Target league started!

    Stay in touch - Bob.
