I've gone out many times and picked up unbroken targets at several ranges. I've found a number of targets with 5 holes in them and still landed, intact.
Would this be a WF pitch made standard 108mm target?I've found a number of targets with 5 holes in them and still landed, intact.
The spin has a lot to do with how easy the target will break. The better clubs will rub the arm with 80 grit sandpaper. That gives the target some traction so it can spin and not slid on the arm.Many years ago the White Flyer Rep would come to the NY State shoot. He would hand out NY dome targets in small white boxes. I asked him that same question, his reply was with the target spinning properly, their data showed
3 BB’s would beak a target.
Just this past Saturday, I picked up targets at my club, White Flyer Bio’s. I did see many full targets with one thru hole plus small chips off the dome. I do not recall seeing any with two thru holes.
Only targets with no thru holes and no cracks are picked up. Next time I will look closel.
BTW, Winston demonstrated with high speed footage that sanding the arm does not increase the rate of spin. While it may not help it also can't hurt so sand away if that what you believe.
