Target shortage!?

[Modski66]

Down in Surrey for the day, so called into the NSRA shop at the Lord Robert's Centre to get some pellets and 20-yard and 6-yard pistol targets. "Quality control" problems mean they currently are unable to supply almost any type of target.
Has anyone else heard anything about this?

There have been problems with 25yd 0.22 targets over the summer. The printers mucked up the diameter of the 9-ring, and the white rings.

We bought 3000 10 meter air rifle targets recently - no problems.

I don't know what they did have, but when I said I wanted pistol targets, they said they had nothing, and no idea when the situation would be resolved.
Having said that, it could be resolved in the next few days!

I asked someone to get me 200 x 10m pistol targets in the NSRA shop, Bisley at the weekend - apparently the targets are there but they can't be sold as they are out of spec somehow. wouldn't even sell them for practice purposes.

Our club has some of the dodgy 25yd targets. They don't actually look all that bad until you put them next to a "to-spec" target at which point they're quite obviously inferior, which is presumably why they didn't pick it up earlier. You'd have to be looking reasonably hard to tell the difference.

It's unfortunate that they won't sell the off ones for practice, but I suspect they're afraid that someone would inevitably end up putting stickers on them because they haven't got the message. Given that the Competition Secretary's job in most clubs is somewhere akin to herding cats, they're probably right

It may also be that they are (presumably) returning them to McQueen's as Rejects in return for ones that have been done properly, in which case they're not theirs to sell.
