600 yard targets: IBS vs NBRSA

[michaelnel]

I am wondering why the 600 yard targets for IBS have the white square in the middle while the NBRSA ones do not.

Is the white square some kind of aiming aid?

NBRSA:

IBS:

(and no, I did not shoot either of these groups)

Maybe the box is an aid the IBS groups are always smaller………... ……. jim

A lot of shooters aim for one of the corners to shoot more accurately and sometimes it's easier to see one of the corners than the center of the target.

I sure don't…… i let them go in the middle….. jim

The box seems to really help when the mirage is running, at least for my eyes.

Hold on now.

I shot an IBS 600 shoot at Manatee last Saturday. Looked at those two targets pictured and got to thinking...LOOK!



There's a third version.

Now stop laughing at my shooting. Stop it now!

CaptMal, that target looks like one from the box of 100 I just bought from National Target Company:

That's it. On the top left it says..."NRA License #1".

Guess there are variations by different organizations and maybe printers.
