It's called Field Target...

and I'm trying to get some interest locally in starting up a chapter of the Colombian Precision Shooting Association to delve into it.

The cool thing about these targets is that a hit only counts if the target falls. You can whack the face plate all you want and it's not going down. Once you slip a pellet through the "kill zone", it topples right over. That makes for quite a challenge. Once you start using the reducers it gets even more challenging. A couple years ago my rifle's mainspring broke so was reduced to using a converted 10 Meter rifle to finish the course. The thrill of actually knocking over one of the 50 meter squirrels with that rifle was something else! (I don't want to talk about the closer in ones that stayed vertical...)
