The
prairie dog target is meant for varmint rifles at 100 yards or
more. Larger caliber rifles are fine. Shotguns with shot
are fine at 15 yards or more. Rim fire rounds are fine, but
light rounds will not make the targets "flash".
The
standard target has a flat base and should be staked to the
ground.
Accessories:
Bolt on legs to elevate the target. Stakes
may be needed.
A large plastic flash card with metal
protector that bolts on (helps when shooting without a
spotter)
A rear card holder that bolts on:
- Armor
- Mild steel (rifle rounds will penetrate)
This is made to hold white cardboard, 1/4 inch white melamine,
or white ABS plastic (14 x 14 inch works well). This helps
silhouette the prairie dog and also shows where the round went
if you miss the target.
Note: Florescent orange marking paint works
well for the flash.
