    Are they scaled or are they 6yd targets?

    The paper 6yd targets used for comps only scale the black, but the 10 is a lot easier to hit. I used to shoot 550av ex 600 integer at 10m, far from stunning... at 6yd I used to shoot 590+

    I dunno, Rob - is my answer to that.

    As you allude to, they are "Official NSRA 6yrd Targets" (Air 7 and Air 8 on the NSRA shop website).

    Are they easier? I'm not sure, although I'm sure I've read that some folks have found the opposite!?

    Bob (Zooma) may be able to answer, as he runs the excellent MPL 6 yard postal comps' on here.

    Yep, they're easier. If you look at the ring sizes they're the same as 10m just the black is smaller... these aren't to scale but you get the picture.

    I've been looking for scaled 10m targets, hence the question. I was told it was too difficult to print the 10 dot.

    To add to the complication there's some 10m targets where the 10 is the same as the 9 ring on the NSRA 10m targets, which does make the 6 yard more difficult in comparison. I know they're being used in some clubs.

    6yd easier? Yes for NSRA cards. The black circle is scaled but the rings are the same size.
    Clipping the black on 10m gives 4 but on the 6yd it's 7.
    So if shot at the correct distance, an amateur club shooter averaging 65% at 10 m would average maybe 80% at 6 yds.

    EDIT: Sorry its just been answered!

    Well that would be bloody depressing for somebody who's scores are pathetic on the NSRA 6 yard cards!

    Not that I know anybody quite as tragic as that...

    Please carry on with the 10M range talk.
