Challenge Yourself with Target Fun!

Want to have some fun? 

Challenge yourself! 

By testing your speed and accuracy when shooting with your thermal and night vision sights.  

We have launched 2 IR Challenge targets for you to shoot and score. One for your thermal scope and a 2nd target for your Night Vision sights.  

We believe we found the sweet spot for the degree of difficulty. Not too tough for the novice and not too easy for the expert.   

So, grab some friends, and a few challenge targets, load up the cooler and let the fun begin! 

A score of 105 wins a unique glow-in-the-dark IR Dead–Eye Patch. 

 Take a picture of your time and shots.

Add up your score...and Win!

Step 1: Gather Equipment 

Before you pull the trigger, you’ll need to gather all the right equipment.  

Prior to mounting the target, there are a few items you want to have on hand. 

  1. A thermal or night vision optic 
  2. Night Vision Goggles: Passive or with a Laser (or all 3) 
  3. Shot Timer 
  4. 30 rounds of ammo 
  5. Instagram or email account
  6. Pen or pencil 

 

Step 2: Confirm Your Zero

Your first shots will confirm your zero. We included a Universal Zeroing target in your package to make this quick and painless. Follow the instructions on the zeroing target to get this done.  

Perfect! 

Next: 

  1. Load your magazine with 30 rounds. 
  2. Mount the IR Challenge target to the target stand. 
  3. Mark off 25, 15, 10, and 5-yard distances from the target. 
  4. Set your timer in the go position. 
  5. Set up a tripod to video! Not required but this would be fun! 

 

Step 3: Course of Fire 

 

  1. Start at 25 yd marker in a standing position 
  2. At “go”, start the timer and fire 5 rounds into the top circle  
  3. Run to 15 yard Line – fire 5 rounds into large rectangle 
  4. Run to 10 yard line – fire 5 rounds into small triangle 
  5. Run to 5 yard line – fire 5 rounds into small square 
  6. Stop Timer! 

Scoring and Winning

After you have completed the course of fire it is time to SCORE and WIN! 

Grab a quick picture of your finished time, the target hits and insert the results on the Scorecard.  

Your Time + Your Hits – Misses = Your Total Score 

Remember line breaks count as a hit.  

If your score is 105 – you are a WINNER! 

Congratulations! 

Count up you shots and score your rounds!
