The “big red bull” I’m used to is on the ASSRA 200 yd target, although there is a big bull and a small bull on the front and back of the 100 yd offhand target, also red.  The really big (200 yd) bull wouldn’t make much sense to shoot at 25 or even 50 yds, hence my question.   
My old 32-40 high wall (plain sporter) really needs to get out and get one exercise.

Well, I hate to keep posting with questions and comments, but I haven’t been this excited since the last time I jumped into the water with the sharks in the Bahamas.
I need to know whether there will be any practice shots since my ammo will have bounced around for 5 1/2 hours on the way.  Of course my previous question about targets was posed because I’d also like to try to practice some @ home.  My old 32-40 high wall is starting to behave like my old Brittany bird dog used to when I would pick up a shotgun!
Bear with me, please,
Froggie

It was the ASSRA BIG RED BULL last year, so expect it’s the same. Maybe I was the only one who found it a challenge, but that 1 1/2” center kept moving around at all the distances as I stood on my hind legs. 

There were no sighter targets.
