    Not really looked into this type of shooting indepth yet.

    Quick suggestion, if you can't make a turning device, use a board that is taller than you to stand behind the firing line. Break cover aim & shoot, then go back behind board. If possible set targets at different positions. Or have one target & a assistant to reposition target. So when you break cover you need to find the target then fire. Different timings could be set.

    Regards

    He or she could then run around the garden ducking and diving.
    Wow would be so realistic

    Way to go LOL

    Is that not a Service Pistol Target? I think the PP1 & PP2 targets are black and white, but it's been too long since I shot, really must get back into it though. Such good fun.

    Had a quick go with this set up

    Behind Cover / Breaking cover shoot straight away / Result 2shots together & 1 in hand


    Easy to set up, could use more than one target depending on size of your range.

    Big Ears (from the PPC thread) emailed me the target PDF and course of fire.
    I've been getting fair results with my PPK at 7 and 12 metres but 20 is a bit much to expect from sub 2ft lb.
    I've worked out a mechanical design for a manual twin turning target which I may make if the PPC thing catches on with UBC.

    I've forwarded the email to you as I don't have a clue how to attach a PDF.
    Give it a whirl!

    That makes two of us! But, we'll figure something out.

    PPC Targets

    OK
    Who won the bet as to how long it would be before I turned up on this thread?
    www.targetbunny.btik.com exists to provide free targets. There will be some new police pistol ones on there by 21/09/08 and there are already some in the Pistol, Self Defence, and Multi-Part targets. I'm having space problems so I need to redesign to get more pages on and then I will have a dedicated PPC page.

    Tony your idea is the best one so far but for those of us with non-cooperative partners or assistants a, R.C. vehicle with a long upright pole holding the target and controls locked to run in a circle gives you two shots at two distances on each rotation.
    Jason! The target is the paper thing at the TOP of the stick.

    Hi Jim, don't know how rules have changed for Co2, but we shot 30rds for PP1 with C/F pistols. The method you suggest for timing is excellent. If you've got a willing partner to use a stop watch and whistle, even better. Or maybe we should leave them to their household chores

    My 2 cents of advise is this. Whether you're using an 8 shot or 10 shot mag, shoot 6 then reload. On the first stage if you shoot 8 or 10 you loose your momentum. Always know how many you've shot. Subconcsiously count them, after a while you do this automatically. Nothing more embarrassing than hearing bang, bang, bang, click. The shooter feels and looks a bit unprofessional.

    This Tuesday evening I'm going to the range, I'll grab some reduced size PP1 and Service Pistol targets, photo them and post here.


    Oh, nearly forgot, practice, practice, practice

    Hi Jim, we did this match at Bisley Phoenix meeting a couple of years ago. It was shot at three different distances. I think 5yds 10 yds and 15yds.
    Over the weekend I will look in the attic and see if I can find the papers.
    We used a shot timer and reduced targets. I shot it with a 6" S&W with Weaver Red Dot (now fitted to my 8" S&W).
    I mention with every due modesty I walked off with the Gold
