Using Military Targets: yes, no, maybe?

[Gwion]

What is that supposed to be?

Prone soldier? Helmet and shoulders?

Yep.

[No1Mk3]

The target Genesis posted is a Type C target that CSD use for most comps. Whilst it suggests a Brodie helmet at an angle it is vague enough to keep the wowsers quiet, Cheers.

Why they'd use their own/British helmet for a target.... I dont know, maybe the original pc brigade decided it was best to prevent the 'enemy' from complaining post conflict...

[No1Mk3]

Funnily enough our "enemies" post conflict, Japan and Germany, are now our allies and our allies, Russia and China, are viewed as enemies. It will be interesting to see the faces of surviving Diggers when the Jap submarine coming to visit enters Sydney Harbour replete with flag.

[<<Genesis93>>]

Our allies? we, or I should say the USA, still occupies them, they are occupied peoples.
The Soviets and Chinese Coms were created by the US/UK...

Quiet? Have they stopped complaining about the other million things they hate? lol

So did you go ahead with the Anzac day shoot in the end?

[Gwion]

Yeah, we did. Just in club as a practice match. Next year we'll open it up to some open entries. Was all s bit of fun.

More Nanny State mentality.
Some think this is all post Port Arthur hysteria, but this "can't have something scary looking" bollocks has been with us for decades.
Back in the 80s Calico released a carbine style rifle with a helical magazine (100rd .22, 50rd 9mm) mounted above the action.
I asked the local licensing sergeant if these were ok, thinking the pistol grip might be a problem.
They were banned, he told me, not because of the grip, nor the mag capacity, not even because it was semi-auto.
It was banned because, in silhouette, the loud end resembled that of an M16. I sh*t yoy not.

That’s so BS, I’m really sick and tired of the “appearance” of a chosen firearm rendering it illegal or heavily restricted when it should be caliber, mag capacity & action type that are used to judge a firearms categorie, it’s also sad that SSAA just bend over to antis and enforce things outside of the law just to save face, SSAA are just (from a young shooters perspective) a bunch of old shooters whom don’t want to push fowards and challenge laws, hows that gone so far?
I get the “dont rock the boat” mentality, but that’s not wanted or needed in this day and age, for too long we’ve been at the whims of antis and more, the time to stand and fight is now, Antis know it, and it’s why there Running and hiding

How do SSAA ever expect to be able to argue on behalf of shooters when they kneel for antis requests for things outside of the requirements of the law.

[Gwion]

Yeah. We sorted something out and used for the ANZAC shoot this year as well.

Can’t see anyone kicking up a fuss about those targets, maybe if it was open to the public and such

[Gwion]

It was originally a concern brought up by some club members about using human image targets. I thought I would ask the forum for opinions. Really not worth getting any knickers in a knot. We sorted it out with a traditional helmet and shoulders target.
