We stock Edelmann targets, which we believe to be the best available. Printed on the finest cross grain card it will punch clean clear holes, allowing easy scoring even with a loaded target.
As well as standard single bull targets we have a selection of strip targets
to further reduce costs for home practice or club use.

| This is a typical factory test group from a match air pistol. Some factories will specify which pellet size was used, as well as brand of pellet. |
 |
| This is the ten ring of an air pistol target - the inner ring is the x ring. Size is relative to both groups shown. |
 |
| This is a relatively poor group shot from a rest, using a less-than-ideal pellet size for the pistol. As you can see, every shot would still easily break the x ring. |

The most most common question we are asked is, "Which is the best pellet for
my gun?" This of course a difficult question to answer, but before we get
too involved, let's put it into perspective.
As long as we're talking good
quality match pellets (such as H&N, RWS, Vogel, etc) even the worst
grouping pellet will still easily hold the x-ring on a pistol target. This means
that even a high level competitor is not likely to ever benefit much from batch
testing to find the ultimate grouping pellet in his pistol. Having said that
however, it's a nice feeling to know that your gun/pellet combination
shoots a tight one-hole group, and the effort of testing for peace of mind could
be considered time well spent, if only from a self-confidence point of view. But
you should never have the illusion that it will make a noticeable difference to
your scores.
Air Rifle is a little different, since a ten ring of .5mm makes the best possible accuracy far more important. Anything less than a tight slightly oval hole would mean perfect scores are not possible.
Just to further cloud the issue, simply knowing the diameter of the pellet used in the factory to shoot the best group does not mean your gun will always shoot the best group with that diameter. We see just as much variation between pellets of different batches, even if they are sized exactly the same. So you may well have one testing session when a 4.49mm .53 gram pellet may shoot the best. Twelve months later, with different batches, the winner could easily be a 4.50mm in .50 gram. There is no way of knowing in advance.
Our advice? By all means if you can test your gun easily, do so. If you shoot a pistol and have no way of testing it, stick to the factory test diameter and be happy. If you shoot something like an IZH, which comes with no test target, try standard sized good quality pellets and you will have great accuracy. Testing single stroke pneumatics and spring powered guns is very difficult anyway. But try to keep the whole concept in perspective, it's not worth losing any sleep over.
