targets

RC car fanatic

does anyone know where to get proper targets like the ones the police use for target practise because some of them that come with your gun are too small

tonyj_mc

google, target print off mount on box, or else there is various knock down powered one on e-bay and the like

RC car fanatic

k cheers:)

tonyj_mc

no bother, went with the cardboard option myself,too cheap to buy but if your using aegs be careful they can go thriugh the box, put some padding like foam in it

sorry just looked at my last post, wasn't meant to sound moody or annoyed, may have looked that way apologies

This is what I currently use for target practice. I've enlarged it and made photocopies.

Voodoomelon

I just printed out the one I found above and enlarged it 700% to human size, and stuck it to the shed door.

New MP5 made sh*t of it!

anything that mentions anything to do with a gun/firearm/airsoft seems to be vlocked in work, with the exception of boards and some random sights, its crap, used to be able to check out thet new releases on rsov and gunner, now nada:mad:

liamo333

That sucks. Anyway you can bypass it?

tonyj_mc

nope, wish i could, anyway not worth loosing my job for still blows though

Fallschirmjager

lads i am not too sure printing off real pictures of people and using an aeg at them is really a bright idea....not sure that sends the message we want...but hey thats just me...

liamo333

Shouldn't you be working?

tonyj_mc

Birchwood Casey Shootnsee targets
could be fun things to use when
you are using your AEG for target practice.

They are stick on targets that you can stick on
whatever you want. When shot at the black
flakes away around the hole leaving a bright yellow halo effect
so you can see where your shots land easier with the naked eye.
They come in different sizes.
They also do splatter targets. When the hit is like bird poo
splattering around the hole thats made.
(My AEG's wont go through cardboard and only make a slight dent
on empty cans of cider at thats at 300fps and only a few feet away)

Have a link to an ebay shop in the UK where you can buy them
but have not posted it as its a non-airsoft shop and related
to what we dont mention here!
If anyone wants it PM me or if the mods think its OK I will post the link.

I've used them myself. They're very effective. The yellow is so bright against the black that you can see where you've hit from quite a distance.

It's ok if it's Prez Bush though, as 90% of the earths population (that knows about him) hate him. Perhaps not a good idea to do it in America though as you'd more than likely be locked up without trial for a few years as a 'suspected' terrorist.

It's all fine. Afterall, we actually shoot at real people. Don't see how pictures make any difference.

well i dont want to get into politics...each to their own but its how it could be presented that i am worried about...and i feel a quite uncomfortable at the implications and as you say its illegal in the US, somewhere i travel to and as it happens like to travel to...i for one am happy enough with a cardboard box...

kdouglas

i've used those shoot-n-see targets a few times, they're very good, leaves a lovely mark on the target when you shoot them, must pick up some more

Well it's not illegal in the US as such. That wouldn't stop them from arresting you though. But your right, this is not the place for politics. I promise not to shoot pictures of Mr Bush in public places.

I use this for my pistols, more for correction than anything.

Agree 100%, just not a good idea. A riddled picture of someone would look lovley on the front of the Sun over article "Dangerous Toys used to train asasins!!" . Incidently the election psoter boards made great target backings for "real" shooting, absolute bitch scraping the faces off first though:(

Shoot n see targets are brilliant. Availble from any gunshop or BFSL.

Actually it is.

Any threat, implied, uttered, printed or expressed against hte President of the United States or the office of same is a felony subject to summary arrest and trial.

They are taking this kind of thing seriously at the moment (go figure?) and have made a number of arrests and quiet convictions for the crime.

Regardless of your feelings towards this kind of jack-booted heavy handed oppression it doesnt change the fact that it is curently the law and it is enforced.

You probably dont need to worry about black helicopters in Ireland but do keep in mind that much of the internet is monitored by the NSA through the ECHELON system and such things can wind up flagging your name on their databases (if only for the purposes of putting hte wind up you) making passing through customs into the US or its territories a bloody nightmare.

More importantly (for our purposes) such things can be taken out of context and used to support the dumbest and most spurious of arguments. Gun control activists are not above dirty tricks, lies, manipulating the facts, misrepresentations etc and Airsoft is a soft target for their misplaced rage.

All it takes is one unscrupulous "Bashir" type to refer to "internet gun crazies practicing shooting the president" to get us investigated for sedition or some other non-sense.

... just saying is all.

OK, Paranoia wins the day again....I'll remove the pic. Just to keep everyone happy (which is proving to be almost impossible)

And no moderating other people's post. Use the report button if a rule has been broken.

Anyway..to get back on topic.

Feel free to use this for target practice. I look like a terrorist with the AK so we only have to worry about offending the terrorists.



Or you can import one of those chinese targets.

Like I said, it could be percieved as threatening behaviour and a statement of intent. Its not politics, its law.
