Source for half-sized IPSC targets for training?

mib2000 · March 17, 2001, 02:52 PM

I've heard mention of half-sized paper/cardboard IPSC targets, for rifle training when your range situation limits you to 25-50 yards.

Anyone know of a commercial source for such targets?

I've scanned the online catalogs of a couple of big target vendors -- Speedwell, for instance. Nothing. At least not online. Have not phoned.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You might try this site:

These are the "Official" supplier for USPSA targets.

Arntzen makes very nice T-1 steel 1/2 size IPSC targets. They are actually about 1/3 to 1/4 the surface area of a full size. Pistol rounds splatter off the steel harmlessly if you 50 feet away. The rifle would wreck the steel eventually. A pistol caliber carbine would not hurt the targets.

The price is less than $20 each plus UPS. I made stands of scrap wood from construcon sites for mine. After a few thousand rounds a I burn the shot up stand and hammer together a new one in a few minutes. The steel comes with a 1/2 inch hole drilled for hanging with a 1/2 inch bolt.

Great tips -- thanks a bunch!

I should have mentioned I'm specifically seeking paper/cardboard half-size IPSC targets this time.

Will be checking out steel, too, though.

Thanks for the tips!

Anyone else?

Also, I've since found these reduced paper silouhette targets at National Target Co.:
