An 1/8 minute dot centers very nicely in 4" square.... plus it is bigger than most floaters..... jim

Sorry guys but that would be modifying the target and I don't think we should go there! Because if you break a record there will be people saying it doesn't count and we have enough problems. I know I have to use the corner of the patch with my L.G. with cross hairs and with the H.G. with a dot I do the best to hold top or corners of the patch. So I think by using the smaller spotters you should be good to go. Now on the other hand if when we run out of the targets we have, and people want to change to a dot instead of the X maybe we could do it then. But we just got targets last year so it will be a while.

Now that I have finally had Cataract Surgery in both Eyes, maybe I will be able to see the target. Looking forward to the 2020 Season at Williamsport.

Bob wish they could do something with my right eye, but they told me they would just make it worse! So better I can at least see. Good luck with yours.

We shoot under our rules and make the rules. So anybody saying anything doesnt have a leg to stand on. Years ago they taped white squares on the target for a patch. It wasn't printed on the target. Joe, you should remember that for as long as you shot there. Matt

An orange sticker placed here as to not cover up the x ring. No modification to the target. If made available for all, I fail to see the harm.

Maybe we should redesign the whole target, after all it was designed over 40 years ago. When dinosaurs roamed the land. Shrink all of the scoring rings in half. 1-10 but the same OD.HaHa Times have changed.

Just having fun.

Matt yes we did use a 4" patch so people could have an aiming spot years ago with the all black target. That is a good point. So you guys feel if we have a membership vote at our first match and the members say yes it should be legal. I have no problem with it. But the members should have the last say.
So next week I will bring it up.

Guess a lot of us old guys sure would like to have those young eyes like MikeyG has, I still like the idea. For me, being shade blind (yeah, I'm one of the black spotter guys) I wouldn't be able to distinguish the edge of the orange dot, it will just blend into the white but anything that helps guys shoot better, I'm usually on board with.

Chuck I may be old, but I've always like new ideas. I never thought about what Matt said about the white patch we used with the old targets. But even with you, I'm sure we could come up with a black dot as long as it passes. I just didn't want to change thing and having people say we altered the target. And I don't think the board will have a problem with it.

Maybe when new targets get purchased they could put a small black dot in the center for the colored blind folks..

I knew I liked you Ray, even if you do shoot a brown or tan or off white or whatever the heck the color of your stock is!

 

[Joe Salt]

Black dot with white X in the middle, so we can do closes to center! Ray you don't shoot with us anymore so it won't bother you. LOL

Not out to reinvent the wheel Joe. Just thought that it might improve the sport. Everyone spends countless hours preparing over the winter in anticipation of getting that one perfect relay when there is absolutely no mirage and the flags are laying flat. The intention was not to change the current target but just to offer a smaller aiming point. Everyone was to be able to participate if they chose to and no one would have been left behind due to vision. I was just thinking outside the box for the betterment of all.

He is just busting my balls, I think most like the idea of a solid aiming point.. Why not?
