    Competition pistol target holder size

    I am getting back into pistol shooting after a long break and I want to pick up a funnel-type target holder/pellet trap for safety.

    They are available in two different sizes - 14cm X 14cm and 17cm X 17cm...which one should I get for UK competition 10m pistol targets...?

    Also would the 6 yard competition pistol targets use the same size target holder...?

    Cheers for any guidance.

    The 6 yard targets I use fit the 17cm x 17cm holders fella, the 10m I have no idea sorry!

    HTH though.

    Cheers.

    You can get targets in both size but the 17cm is more common

    The bisley 10m pistol and rifle cards fit that size

    Target Holder

    17 X 17 cm is the standard size.
