Has anyone heard of/bought any reduced size targets from C&M Targets? They look legit, but I wanted to know what people thought of them. Also, if there is any other places to buy reduced size targets please let me know.
I think the reduced size targets are a great idea for indoor dry fire practice. Especially if you live in an apartment.
The C&M website says if you put their target at 5 yards it simulates a target at 20 yards.

Great people to do business with. Good product that fills a need for me. I only have access to a 100 yard range so I play with their targets and it helps some.

Just ordered a Double Dry Fire kit to help with transition drills in our small townhouse. Should be a perfect companion to the drills from BE and Steve Anderson's books.

Charlie Meyers, C&M Targets, is a good friend as well as a helluva Limited shooter. His targets are a quality product with which you will become a better shooter If you stick to a regime of using them. Great training tools!

I emailed the order to Charlie, and within 30mins he emailed me back saying the targets are packaged and waiting for tomorrow's pickup for shipping. Great guy, and wonderfully fast service.

I have the double dry fire kit from C&M. They were absolutely fantastic to deal with. I put my order in and the next day Charlie sent me an email notifying me that he had sent the kit out. They use an honor system which was really surprising, I sent my check the next day so the targets and check were in transit the same time. The targets are very high quality thick cardboard. I will certainly use them again when I need more targets!
Two thumbs way up for C&M!

IMPOSSIBLE is not a fact, It's an opinion. IMPOSSIBLE is not a declaration, It's a dare. IMPOSSIBLE is potential. IMPOSSIBLE is temporary.

The C&M kits look to be very useful for me, and I'm thinking of ordering some.
Can someone educate a n00b....if the targets are half-sized, then wouldn't standing 5 yards away (on a half-sized target) be equivalent to standing 10 yards away on a full-sized target?
Trying to get my head around the "put their target at 5 yards it simulates a target at 20 yards" thing....
Thanks!

To continue that thought, it probably means they are 1/4 sized.

Another big plus on C&M targets! Great service is an understatement.
We have used his targets for 3Gun matches in an 80 yards deep berm.

I have a piece of software, TargerExpress, that has all the IPSC, USPSA, IDPA and numerous other targets that can be printed to any printer you have installed. You can also scale the targets for what ever distance you want. Cost in the region of $14.95 at the time. Well worth it.

They were used in last months match at blackwater. They were in the shoot house.
Instead of being able to run through the shoot house as fast as you can go shooting with the force, you were forced to slow down and concentrate on the front sight. They are great for close targets!
