Shoot N-C Targets, are they worth it?

Shoot N C TargetsIt depends on what you are doing with your firearm but I know plenty of people that don’t spend a dime on targets and just print stuff off their computers.   It’s not hard to take a piece of paper and a ruler and just make a 1 inch square or trace a quarter to get a circle, but once you get out at longer ranges, trying to tell if you got a hit or a miss is very difficult.    It’s kind of funny how everything seems to be trending toward green lasers and green sights and reticles, but Shoot N C targets have been around for a long time and when you get a hit, you know you got a hit because that greenish yellow outline really helps you identify your point of impact.   Sure you can bore sight your rifle but you have to know how to bore sight something properly and if you’re scope is not mounted correctly, zeroing in your scope isn’t going to help you when you change distances.

Shoot N C targets come in several shapes and sizes and it’s probable best you start out with the larger ones and make use of those smaller black stickers to cover the holes so you get the most use out of them.   This week we’ll be doing some promos with 6″ shoot n c targets but you really will have more fun and probable not need a spotting scope if you are shooting at 100yds or less at one of these.   It’s probable a good idea to always bring a back stop with you that you can attach these stickers to, although I’ve had mostly good experiences with them sticking to rifle range back stops, sometimes the back stops were dirty and stickers didn’t stick so well.  Avoid the situation where you get back behind the firing line and watch one of your targets peel off and end up having to wait for the next cease fire to fix it.

Taking down zombies the right way

Sometimes training can be fun and all of this Zombie Apocalypse stuff can be used for good use.  Firearms are dangerous but so are many sports especially contact sports.   Some gun ranges ban silhouette targets because they don’t like the idea of having people on a firearm line and training to shoot human targets.  Well, in all honesty a balanced person shouldn’t have problems shooting at human like targets because that is most likely what a CCW licensed person would be defending themselves against.   The same ranges that ban silhouette targets might allow you to shoot at monsters and zombies.

Many gun clubs have IDPA or various competitions but the zombie shoots have caught on because can and are practical training excersises.   The are big differences in some of the zombie targets that we sell, some are animals and others look like zombie hoards about to attack you.   The best ones are the ones with the zombie attacking you with a weapon.   Knowing how to take down a zombie with a shot to the head or knowing you have the skills to shoot a specific area of the target under stress is real training.  You always save money on on targets when you buy bulk.
