Which specific types of paper targets do you like to shoot at and where to you get them? 
|
| I usually choose the target by what I am doing that day. Scope=12X12 grid targets. Reflex shooting=Anatomy Targets from Sportsman's Guide. Fun/Plinking=Shoot-n-See. Sometimes I make my own from poster board & stick Shoot-n-See pasters on my bullseyes around the target. |

www.uspalma.com/Targets/targets.htm Print them out on 8.5x11 paper For a clean backer, open the seams on a paper supermarket bag and staple it (blank side up) to the target carrier, then staple your printed "center" onto it. Standard masking tape makes good pasters on the bag. Electrical tape (the cheap shit from the Dollar store) works as pasters on the black bull. Then PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and PRACTICE |
| My targets are purchased by the 100 at the dollar store. My guns shoot minute-of-paper-plate(lol). Try my targets and see if you can rapid fire a 30 round magazine into a paper plate at 100m. My M4 and AKM can do it. If you can do that and get all 30 into the plate a human target at 100m or under will not be missed, IMO..........Mike |
I often use paper plates for pistol shooting. I draw a 2” circle in the center with a black sharpie, works perfect for practice at 7 yards. For rifle shooting I’ll buy the 100 yard rifle targets at WalMart, then in each corner draw additional targets using the sharpie method I mentioned above. To save money on targets I cover over the bullet holes with cheap masking tape. When the taped holes are in the black portions of the target I hit them with the black sharpie so they blend in. A patched up target at 100m looks no different through my scope than a new target. For reactive targets I like shooting at party balloons. A 12” balloon at 300m makes for good “head shot” practice using optics. |
