1. Targets shall be "full
scale" steel silhouettes of chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rams per
official IHMSA scale templates for all Big Bore competition, except Unlimited
Half-Scale (See Section V-C).
2.
Targets shall be made from steel plate and shall be 1/2 inch thick for the
chicken and pig, and 3/8 inch thick for the turkey and ram, or the nearest
metric equivalent.
3.
The "feet" upon which the targets rest should be made from the same
type and thickness of steel as the targets. The feet shall be welded to the
targets per the official templates. The dimensions of the feet shall be:
a)
Chickens
3 inches wide by 4 inches long
b) Pigs
2 inches wide by 4 inches long
c) Turkeys
3 inches wide by 6-8 inches long
d) Rams
4 inches wide by 5 inches long
The nearest metric equivalent may be used.
4. Tempered steel targets (at
least one set) will be mandatory before any club will be allowed to sponsor a
Big Bore championship match. In the event that tempered steel targets are not
available, the sponsor club will waive the target damage rule which limits
bullet penetration to 25% of target thickness (See Section XII-G-1).
1. Targets shall be 3/8 scale of
"full scale" targets, per official IHMSA scale templates for Small
Bore (.22) competition.
2.
Targets shall be made from steel plate and shall be 3/16 inch or 1/4 inch thick
for all targets, or the nearest metric equivalent.
3.
The "feet" upon which the targets rest should be made from the same
type and thickness of steel as the targets. The feet shall be welded to the
targets per the official templates.
1. Targets shall be 1/2 scale of

cast metal construction are allowed.
3. The
feet upon which the targets rest shall be made from the same type and thickness
of steel as the targets and shall be welded to the targets. The feet shall be 1
inch wide, or the nearest metric equivalent and length proportional to the
target.
1. Automated reset target systems
are permitted. Due to various designs which may be utilized, exact toppling
forces are not mandated. The following values, derived from test data on
manually-set, free-standing targets, is furnished as a guide. Using a trigger
pull gage applied to the top of the back of each target, centered over the leg
of chickens / turkeys and centered between the legs of pigs / rams, the
measurements should be:
Big Bore:
| Chickens | 28 - 34 ounces |
| Pigs | 44 - 55 ounces |
| Turkeys | 44 - 50 ounces |
| Rams | 44 - 50 ounces |
Small Bore:
| Chickens | less than 8 ounces |
| Pigs | less than 8 ounces |
| Turkeys | less than 8 ounces |
| Rams | less than 8 ounces |
Field Pistol / Big Bore Unlimited Half Scale:
| Chickens | 28 - 34 ounces |
| Pigs | 44 - 55 ounces |
| Turkeys | 44 - 50 ounces |
| Rams | 44 - 50 ounces |
The
nearest metric equivalents may be used.
2. When automated reset systems are used, rules pertaining to target feet, setting, topple, turning, and knockdown of freestanding targets shall be waived.
