FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Long Snap Target Change of Dimensions Notice
New for the 2024 December Showcase Camps, Coach Casper and Kohl’s Snapping are slightly modifying both the long snapping and short snapping target dimensions to improve the evaluation process. We will be making the opening of the long snap target taller and the legs of the short snap target taller. These new dimensions will be the standard moving forward for all Kohl’s Snapping Camps.
Coach Casper has spoken directly to multiple college programs who feel these dimensions accurately reflect the type of accuracy they are looking for in their snapper. Based on these discussions, the Kohl’s Snapping staff believes these adjustments will help provide coaches with an more accurate evaluation.
Long Snap Target
The long snap target legs are 21” in length and will not change. This means there will be no change the lower bar height as well.
The opening (the square) of the target will now have 27" vertical pipes. This raises the top pipe 3” higher than it was previously. The length listed is what the pipes are cut to in length using 2” diameter PVC pipes.
Short Snap Target
The opening of the short snap target will remain 1-foot x 1-foot.
The legs will now be modified to 9" in height. This will add 3” to the height of the lower bar putting the opening of the target slightly higher to no longer reward a low snap. Again these lengths are what the 2” diameter PVC pipes are cut to in length.
This will be the new standard moving forward for all Kohl’s Snapping Camps. Both targets with flaps are available for purchase, or each target/flap can be purchased individually. Coach Casper will personally make the targets to ensure the #KohlsStandard. Feel free to make your own or purchase one to help you get ready for your upcoming Kohl’s Camp!

Modify Your Existing Long Snapping Target At Home
We know that many of you have a long snapping target at home that is similar to the Kohl's standard long snapping target. To modify your current Long Snapping Target so you can still use it going forward, you can simply replace the vertical target posts with two 27-inch PVC pipes-- like the picture diagram. Again Kohl’s uses 2” diameter PVC pipe for all targets and has custom made snapping flaps available for purchase.
