WHAT IS A TARGET? 

Under this term we can find products of different shapes, colours and materials. All serve as an indicator of the hits of our weapons. By this we mean that the target shows us where the shot/bullet has landed and we can either be satisfied with the result or, thanks to the visual feedback, we can adjust the rifle scope/collimator or the grip of the weapon. Each shooting discipline uses different types of targets (most often according to international rules)

TARGET SHOOTING 

This category includes all possible and impossible targets. Whether it is the classic pistol target referred to as 50/20, it also includes different colored motifs such as terrorist, UFO, various characters designed for accuracy training (police parkour, hostages, etc.), etc. In addition to large format targets, we can also see small targets for air rifle shooting.

Competition IDPA/LOS/IPSC

These targets are characterized by precisely defined dimensions and drawn motif according to the parameters of international competition agencies. In the Czech Republic we can meet competitions such as LOS and IPSC . What is the difference between them we will explain below.

Los is an abbreviation for folk defensive shooting. Which is a competition like the sport IPSC, but the situations are designed from the environment of real situations like mugging at home, in the car, etc. These targets are divided into alpha, bravo, charlie and delta sectors. Each of them has a certain number of points which are added up at the end to decide the winner. In these competitions, it is often determined exactly how many shots you can have in your magazine and how long you have to get to the situation.

What is this IDPA ?

IDPA is the governing body of the shooting sports that simulates self-defense scenarios and real-life encounters. It was founded in 1996 and now boasts more than 25,000 members in over 70 countries. Its headquarters are based in Texas, and competitions in the Czech Republic are organized by IDPA CZ.
Participation in IDPA competitions requires the use of short firearms, holsters and other equipment suitable for concealed carry and self-defense. Equipment requirements assume commonly available weapons and equipment that allow participants to compete with minimal investment.
Competitions are held with pistol, revolver, rifle and submachine gun and competitors are divided into different divisions according to the prescribed characteristics of the weapon. The competition consists of a series of shooting situations requiring shooting on the move and from a variety of positions, with specified restrictions (primarily safety) to be observed. There is no limit to the number of shots and time to complete a stage.
In addition to paper targets for airsoft, we also offer metal targets (mostly steel). These targets have different shapes and functions. Some of them rotate after being hit and can be screwed into the ground, boards etc. to create very interesting shooting situations.

And the IPSC is exactly what?

IPSC is practical dynamic shooting. IPSC was developed in the 1950s in the USA in California with the aim of developing shooting skills, especially in the area of self-defence. Practical shooting training soon developed into a pure sport and spread to Europe, Australia, South America, Asia and Africa. Competitors have the opportunity to take part in competitions with a short weapon, shotgun, rifle or the so-called Action Air, i.e. an air weapon.
As a complement to the shooting, you can also find target patches, which are used for taping over holes in the target. They have different colour variations, thanks to which you can re-stick the holes with exactly the same colour and thus extend the durability of the target. Their dimensions are 16 mm (for small calibers) and 19 mm (pistol and large calibers).
An interesting feature is the moving targets, which are already a great challenge for every shooter and will test his proficiency in gun control. For example, you can find a star-shaped target, where you have rotating star-shaped targets on 2 arms, where after hitting the impact surface the target "drops" and thus changes the direction and speed of movement of the whole assembly. You can see how such targets work in the attached video:

 
Alternatively, you can also buy classic falling metal targets called poppers.
