Question about IDPA/IPSA/USPSA/Multi-gun targets

[trinitrotoluene85]

I was looking on the internet for some dimensions for the "torso" target typically found in IDPA/IPSA/USPSA/Multigun competitions, so I could make some at home. I was able to find them, but there seemed to be some rumors that these organizations were moving away from these torso targets and towards more ambiguous circle or "turtle" targets.

Torso target:

Circle target (for 3-gun I guess):

IPSC "classic" turtle target:

So what's the idea? They going to keep using the old torso targets? They all moving towards these other bullseye/circle/turtle targets? Is there any place online that has all these targets, by all these organizations, with all their dimensions in one place?

The biggest problem with your question is "they". I don't believe these organizations would ever streamline to the same target. Likewise, I don't know of anywhere that would list them all in one place online.

The last multigun I shot included a new (to us) target that was was multi-circles, black and red. These were in addition to the head/torso ipsc targets.

We stock IPSC torsos and can cut any of the others from AR500 if you so desire.

Bobcat steel kicks ass. We use them at Redbrush for our range targets and for our IDPA I believe.
