IPSC Separating Plates

I'm going to resurrect an old post from the 3 Gun Forums because perhaps it doesn't always get the same readership there as here. In the USPSA/IPSC rules Forum there has been a discussion about the value of Forward Falling Pepper Poppers. There are invaluable for 2 reasons: reliability and lack of richochets. This thread re-introduces a target design which we have been using very successfully in matches in the UK for some 7 years now. They were also used at the European Shotgun Championships last year in Italy. They are primarily designed for use with shotguns for both birdshot and buck.

Indexed for reference. The work belongs to its publisher; read it there.
