The HBSA have produced modern scaled reproductions of the contemporary 1880s Martin Smith 'Sporting Rifle Target' for use in competitions for both rifles and pistols. The original target scored 6 for the 3" bull, but as firearms became more accurate a new smaller 2" central ring was added which scores 7.

The dimensions of the original target were appropriate for revolver shooting at 20 yards, but as more and more UK ranges adopted the international 25 metre format, Jim Hallam for the HBSA created a larger target correctly scaled for 455 revolvers at 25 metres. A further scaled up target was produced for use at 50 metres.

The 25m target is in stock and available for sale, enquiries to treasurer@hbsa-uk.org
