The club is introducing an updated design for the pistol house target frames. This new design is very similar to the prior design, with the following key changes:
- The top crossbar has been increased in length to 40" so that the frames can be hung on the brackets on the right wall of the range. This will decrease clutter there and make it easier to select a frame to use.
- The bottom cross bar has been moved down 6" to enable use of a standard 35" police target such as used by the SVPD and Seaside Security. This will reduce the incidence of police/seaside training shooting up frames when they use their standard targets.
- The triangle corners have been re-positioned so that they do not intrude into the target space. We know people will still hit them, but this will make them a bit less likely to get shot up.
- We are marking the top crossbar on one side with the legend "Target Side". Staple cardboard backing on the other side, and place targets on the "Target Side" of the cardboard. This will insure that you can see the frame when shooting and reduce the rate at which we shoot up frames.
Our existing cardboard inventory was cut to fit a 30" x 30" target space, and is 6" short for the new frames. The next time we order cardboard we will order a larger size, but for now, please live with the cardboard being a bit short on either the top or bottom.
