The smaller 6 foot Wall Chart at $150 US. (includes shipping) is a nice option for shooters that do not have the wall space for the larger two charts.
This page has Wall Chart sizes, prices, mailing info.
I can send you the entire package on about 13 e-mails free. It is like a book on trapshooting
All this info comes with the chart in booklet form but it is nice to have the spare copy on your computer.
There are over 2375 Wall Charts in use and they hold their value well, used ones sell for close to the new price. I can call you free if this doesn't answer all of your questions or call me free at 1-205-294-7600. (my Magic Jack on most of the day).
The info. is a lot to remember the first time you read it but you should get the following from it.
The chart itself and info. are a 2 part recipe:
1. You need to do the Wall Chart drills regularly all year long to stay smooth.
2. You need to develop a pre-shot routine that includes the proper soft focus with a "blocker word" before calling for the target. Then you need to hard focus on the targets front edge when it is in the air.

Sizes:
Wall Chart size info: I do not sell the Vandalia any more just the new Sparta Illinois model.
The ten foot chart is mounted on the wall with the very top edge at about 78" from the floor, it hangs down 36". You use it from 13' (16 yards) back to 24' (27 yards). I use it a lot about 20' from the wall it is on.
The 8 and 6 footer is mounted on the wall with the top edge at 73" and it hangs down 29". The 8 footer is used from 10' (16 yards) back to 19' (27 yards). I use it a lot about 13 feet from the wall it is on. The 6 footer (actually about 76" wide) is the same height and used at the same distances as the 8 footer.
The new smallest chart is 53 inches wide and 16 inches tall. You can dry fire on it about as close as 5 feet from the wall it is on and use it back to about 12 feet from the wall. It would be a great instructional picture to just have hanging on the wall at a club house, shooters learn leads etc. just by looking at it. A lot of Gun Clubs have the small chart on the wall for that purpose. The small 53" model is all I used this year for 8 weeks in Florida, I prefer at least the 6 footer but they all work.
If you haven't got about 18 feet of room to get back I think you are better off with the smaller 8 footer or 6 footer. The larger one is a like watching a bigger TV. The 10 footer is a really a great chart if you have lots of room but I use and like them both. When I am getting ready for a big shoot I just use whatever customer's chart is on the wall at the time.
My basement is narrow and I just stay in the post-3 view. I can move a bit sideways and I can get like where a post 2 or 4 would be (about 5 feet over). If you have room to move sideways a bit that is fine but it is not necessary. I have used the Wall Chart this way for 35 years with good success. The amount of actual gun movement is about the same for all posts. When you can move smoothly anywhere in the “V” shape the chart makes you can shoot any post. I change my hold points sometimes by holding off to the right of the trap house and make a longer physical move to the sharp left target or reverse that to make a longer move to the sharp rights. By varying your hold points a bit left and right and heights of the hold you can be ready for any length of gun move you will see on a real trap range.
The main one or biggest seller is the 8 footer. The normal material is very durable and can be rolled up 100's of times with no damaging effect. I can get them made out of much stronger and heavier material if a chart was going to be used outside in possibly windy conditions.
Prices:
Shipping charges are about $25 and are included in these prices. The 10 footer is $175 US. 8 footer is $150 US. and the 6 footer is also $150 US.
The new smallest chart is the 53" by 16" it is $75 US. I ship by small package mail and it is usually takes about 3 to 4 days up to a week or so.
Make sure you open the 36 inch carton completely. I wrap the booklets around the Wall Chart and they slide off easily if you just open one end of the box.
I can get two of most sizes in one box. If you have a friend that wants one too, that saves the extra $25 shipping fee on the 2 nd. Wall Chart. Two boxes can be taped together and 4 charts can ship as cheap as one. Lately shooters taking an 8 footer or larger chart often want one of the smaller 53" wide models shipped in the same carton. The smaller one is great to take with you to shoots or on holidays or to put on the wall at a gun club.
I do ship to other countries there are Wall Charts in England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Lebanon, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Shipping by air (is about 7 days) to these countries is about $90 Canadian.
Mail info:
I do not take credit cards, I just take cheques made out to Terry Jordan or an "International Money Order" is fine too. A regular money order is no good to me it says right on it "cash only in the USA". I can't cash them here in Canada. It is very important that you get the "International Money Order" if you chose to pay that way.
I prefer a check, 99% of all customers just send a personal cheque. I don't like dealing with Paypal, I put all of my US. checks in my US. bank account. PayPal will only put them in a Canadian account as I am in Canada. I don't want to exchange them at all into Canadian let alone when they force me to. The bank charges you to buy and sell US. dollars the exchange fee is about 2 or 3 cents. I am not dealing with PayPal anymore.
Mail to Canada is a bit more, it costs about $1.25 make sure you put enough postage on the letter or they send it back to you. I do need your phone number as well as your complete address (new security regulations).
