Bell target

[Desmond.22]

Guys are there 2 types of bell target comps

I used to use my hw30 or hw77 with opens in the garage before it got converted. I had 6m and thought this was the rule. 6m back 5ft up.

At one of the shows it was much further than 6m

Cheers

No 6yds is the distance, 5ft high as you ay & a 3/8th or 9.57 mm hole. I shoot weekly with the Lincolnshire league

Some leagues are 6 yards, some 7 yards.
At a show they possibly had to set targets a minimum distance for insurance?

Historically 6yds. But as has been said some places used 7yds; these were usually where the tgt was at the end of a skittle alley which was 7yds. Confirm hole is 3/8" dia; then 1" dia for 4 ring; 2"dia for 3 ring; 3" dia for 2 ring. Plate 5" dia; there was no 1; so you go from 2 to 0. Height of hole centre 5 feet from ground.
Hope this helps.
