Specs for Turning Target System

[randy1952]

We are looking at building a Turning Target System. We have a controller However, we don't know what the distance between the five targets? I know the height of the target to center is 1.4 meters + or - .1 meters. Are there any other dimensions I should take into account?

ISSF Rule 6.3.17.13:-
Target frames for the 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol event must be placed in groups of five (5), all at the same height +1cm, all functioning simultaneously and all facing one firing point which is centered on the middle target of the group. The distance between target centers, axis to axis, in a group of five must be 75 cm (+1cm).

That section of the ISSF Technical Rules would obviously be worth reading.

Hope this helps.

What would be the center to center distance for targets for 50ft targets?

18 inches, I think.

Spot on Stan.

50ft = 15.24m therefore the centre to centre needs to be 75cm x (15.24/25) which is 45.72cm (18 inches).

Thanks to all.

Hi David,

Actually, I calculate it to be 17.999084 inches, but rounding is a wonderful thing!
