lagertarget

Lagertarget is a term used in the field of shooting sports, particularly in the context of rifle and pistol shooting, to describe a specific type of target used for practice and competition. The term "lager" is derived from the German word for "storage," reflecting the target's design, which is intended to be stored in a target holder or case for easy transport and use.

A lagertarget is typically made of cardboard or paper and is designed to be durable and reusable. It consists of a series of concentric circles, with each circle representing a different score value. The target is usually mounted on a wooden or plastic base, which allows it to be securely placed in a target holder or case. The base also often includes a mechanism for attaching the target to a shooting stand or tripod.

Lagertargets are commonly used in shooting ranges and competitions because they are easy to set up, transport, and store. They are also relatively inexpensive compared to other types of targets, such as steel or paper targets. However, they may not be as durable as steel targets and can be more susceptible to damage from weather or handling.

In addition to their practical uses, lagertargets are also used for training and skill development in shooting sports. They allow shooters to practice their aim, accuracy, and consistency, and to develop their shooting technique and form. Lagertargets are available in a variety of sizes and score values, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the shooter.
