J. Kb. just sent me this, stolen from C&H Precision Weapons:
For those who do not about IDPA and their targets, here is a simple explanation: Some times in courses of fire, you will see targets with different weapons painted in black. The reason is a weapon and distance will change the priority of shooting. IE: If you are facing three targets, one with a gun, one with a knife (or skateboard) and one with nothing, the target with the gun gets the first dose because it can “harm” you from afar. Next would come knife and impact weapon because they have to get close to you first and lastly unarmed target.
PS: Anything painted in black over the target is considered hard cover. An impact on that area does not count. From the pasters and assuming there were only 2 shots per shooter, almost 2 dozen people shot with enough care to make sure the skateboard did not “top” a round.
Good shooting, Tex!
That’s an IPSC, not an IDPA target 🙂
So that makes the skateboard hard cover.
