Blue targets

[Mariner]

I have no idea where to post this and tried searching to see if it was already brought up and found nothing. Just went to Cookeville and checked out the new indoor range at Outdoor Juction. The gentleman that was working at the range told me that shilouette targets will only be made in blue on white and the black on white background will no longer be available once the supply is gone. He indicated this was due to racial matters. Is this for real, I mean I don't care what color the target is, but if his reason is correct and this is true, what are people thinking.

I do know that some departments have stopped using the black silhouette targets for this reason, so I wouldn't be surprised if the companies making the targets have decided to make the transition to all blue. This would probably save them money, compared to printing two different colors.

[Garufa]

This is offensive to Smurfs.

If they truly are phasing out B/W targets for racial reasons then that is absolutely ridiculous.

[BigPoppa]

Yep, it's true. I've heard this from a number of reputable sources.

Political correctness run amok.......again.

Being easily offended is a personality flaw and a sign of weakness. This is just pantywaisted.

My last trip to the range got me a choice of red,green, or blue. No black ones though!

[Guest Todd@CIS]

When we started teaching the HCP classes, TDOS strongly recommended that we not use black silhouette targets.

All of our HCP students are certified smurf killers.

Does a pic of "a former Washingtonian" count? He's been blew...

[Guest m&pc9]

They better not make a white on white target. Im tired of being descriminated against.

Do people not know the definition of "silhouette"?

Whats funny to me,now that I think about it,I ordered several hundred targets awhile back,and not a one of them is black.

They even had targets with kids as the bad guy(school shooting),but no black people.

Heck,I couldn't even begin to count the number of middle aged white men wearing vests,and 12 year olds I've killed!

I guess I'll be up **** creek if a black guy ever tries to break into my home,as I only have "training" shooting kids,and aging fishermen

Maybe I can get him to go next door,and kidnap the neighbors kids so I wont feel all empty inside for not shooting anyone

In our other classes, we're all equal opportunity 'n stuff.

We shoot white dudes, black dudes, chicks...

The HCP class is the only one where we use the blue B27.

We should all switch to zombie targets, don't want to offend the living.

[Farman]

Oh Boy !!!! I have about 75 collectable targets in the basement. $1 each. Get'um before the price goes up.

As absurd as this sounds, I kind of like the idea of the blue B27 targets as it makes it a little easier to see your hits.

Training to kill cops...

Only the smurfy ones that have no arms or legs, and hover about 5' off the ground!
