We're fooling around with some NRL22 style shooting at an indoor 50' bullseye range. There are dividers between the lanes, so we can use a rope sling, angled lumber to simulate a tank trap, various buckets and sawhorses, just can't get the rooftop in there. Target size for 50' is a problem. Can't use anything metal, so I cut up some of the orange polymer prairie dog targets that are "self healing" (they are indeed) and hung them by drilling a hole using a ziptie to hang from a wide rubber strap. That way they don't spin and come back into position quickly. I've cut them as small triangles so the hole is at the top hopeing that people tend to aim for the larger area at the bottom, and not shooting off the ziptie hanger. Tried some A-36 bullseye targets prone with bipod, would score as a hit only if the tiny center dot was taken out. but some scopes with the FFP floating center dot won't focus down to 50' and tough to see dot against black bullseye. Anybody have some target suggestions to use indoors, or are you all still shooting outdoors in the snow?

Prefer something that doesn't make a mess to clean up, I do have 4x4s drilled for matchsticks, should sweep up easily. Your crew must be a little tougher than we are, didn't you get big snow?
I use a bunch of these -
I trim them down to difference sizes. For 50 yards, you'll want them to be about 1/2" to 1.5" for the different types of positions.
For standing offhand, the standard 2.5" is a good size too.
The price on them are a bit high right now, but generally they go for like $15-20.

we had match scheduled for last weekend but canceled it. too much snow to get most of the target hangers in the ground without buying more EMT. would have been a little to target limited to make it worthwhile
sucks cause i'd have shot the match in my same long sleeve i use in summer. saturday was sunny and warm
@littlepod its 50' not 50y
Ah oops, 50' so like 15 yards. You could just cut a hole into the spinner, and if it doesn't move then it scores as a hit.
At my old range we generally could only do drills at 25' so still a bit more, but basically did it all using 1/4" dots. Take the NRL22 targets -
And print 4 on a page, so they're all reduced down to .75" total size, and 1/4" inner size.
Might run into with the parallax on a lot of optics. But other than that make the targets smaller.
We would like to use our regular guns, rather than a different rifle with odd(for us) sights. Better practice, especially for shooting from the wrong shoulder, which we all need work on. Everybody has a pic. rail, so we may find that we have to swap a different scope , but the basic rifle will stay the same. LPod- thats the material I am using and cutting down, works great, just tough to get them small enough.. Maybe if we all swap to small scopes and shoot on 4 power?
a lens you put on your scope that lets you focus at 12'
meant for dryfire.

Troy @ DFAT can probably engineer you something to work at 50' You can e-mail him and ask. He just has to change the lens they use to focus at a different distance.
