The hard cover edge

May 8, 2025 by Jodi Humann

Whether you paint your own hard cover targets or purchase pre-painted ones, it is important to check the targets to ensure they have the edge of the hardcover in the right place. We don’t score targets on the ‘intent’ of where the hard cover edge should be and hard cover targets need to be consistent for the entire match.
