Hi Bob we also shoot Bell Target with pistols at Melbourne Marksmen alongside the rifles - Some of the guys are really good with a pistol and frequently ring the bell - some more times than I do with the rifle
Life without happiness is no life at all.
We are still working on shooting Bell Target locally - if we can't shoot it where we are at the moment we may have to consider moving !

Helloo Bob
You can buy ready made bell targets complete with; Hardened steel plate, wooden cabinet and inbuilt light for the grand sum of £130 from CITY AIR WEAPONS AT SOLIHULL. Tel: 0121-742-1329.
They only open on Thu, Fri and Sat.
We have 2 of these at our club and they are well made and reliable.
If you get one it would be as well to fit a steel plate on the front piece of wooden cabinet to protect it from the occasional missed shot
SORRY, JUST REALISED WHAT DATE THE ORIGINAL POST WAS....YOU MUST BE FIXED UP BY NOW??

I have had a few requests asking where to buy some new Bell Targets like those that we are using and have passed them to red bob ( should have been on commision).
Now we need another two for ourselves, so I am guessing I have helped to push us to the back of the que!
Not to worry red bob does a good job at a very fair price and deserves to be busy!

We had another Red Devil delivered today from our intrepid Bell Target supplier RedBob and have another on the way, so we are gearing-up for the start of our new Bell Target competition.

Yes I can see that, but we have so many RedBob targets here now both with individuals and in the clubs that we have written the rules to work with them the way they are so everyone here in East Lancs has the same target to shoot with at home or in competition.
There is so much variation in the different leagues already that I doubt this small difference in our own local leagues will make any difference to us or anyone visiting us from any of the other well established bell target leagues either - the bull is the same size - and that's the bit we are all aiming at!
Maybe that's just another part of the simple fun and attraction of bell target shooting, and I think it is great that devout supporters of their own bell target leagues defend their own individual rules and regulations so well.

I think that the target is less important then how you use it. In our club one home made target was the thing that sold to concept to the members. The bell announced a good shot no mater the final score for that shooter. Also, scoring has become a group activity carried on in good fun. These two things brings people back to the next match. Granted in a large league with many teams it might be too time consuming, but Idaho is far from other bell target clubs.
Last night we had 8 shooters and there are those who come to win, but there are those who's skill or equipment aren't up to a top score. They all line up to shoot bell target, help with the scoring and come back next month.

Not had chance to read the various rules yet, but are none magnifying red dot or holographic sights allowed?
Kind regards,
