  • I was recently going through a pile of unused targets that Charlie Smith, a team mate from Smithfield Sportsman's Club, gave me shortly before his passing. Among the targets are a handful of old indoor smallbore used for competition that I have never seen before.  The most interesting difference compared to current smallbore targets is the lack of sighter bulls.  While the scoring rings are like those on the NRA A-17 target, the lack of sighter shots would add a different dimension to the match.  I am sure there must be some people who have seen and used these targets in competition and could provide their view on these targets. -Joe Graf
