    Bell Target units.

    Managed to get a few made up. Various designs. All function perfectly. PM me for details. Faceplates still available too. For some reason I can't upload any images. Bummer.

    Is there some sort of standard for bell targets? I gather the front face is fairly standard but what about the bell mechanism, is there some sort of "official" bell target. The odd old one's I've seen have had quite a sophisticated spring loaded mechanism that needs to be reset by hand.


    Having a spring trigger obviously eliminates the split pellet problem of giving a "maybe" ring, it's either a yes or no - just wondering if there's any standard as to how much energy would be required to trigger the bell?

    The old one are really complicated to reproduce. That's why I have created a simple paddle and strike mechanism. The paddle covers the back of the hole in the faceplate at a certain distance from the hole, then the paddle strikes the bell which is also set at a certain distance from the bell. They have been tested at our club and work perfectly for practice. A simple but effective design.
