online paper target source?
Does anyone carry regulation sized paper targets that one can order online? I see plenty of the NRA 50' pistol targets, but nothing in the sizes at the normal 40-100 yd distances. I don't want to fool with printing them as that turns into an expensive proposition from an ink perspective, plus I'd prefer a heavier piece of paper.
I thought I came across them last year, but did not bookmark it.
Thank you

Jerry,
I appreciate the response. I see the same 50' silhouette targets as other places. How do these translate to smallbore rifle at 40-100 yd distances? Wouldn't they be awfully small at those greater distances?

I shoot the tq14's indoors. The animals are scaled so they look like they would at the proper distances. I have never seen the bigger ones printed on the card stock like that, but I print them on my printer, cut them out and staple them to cardboard. Actual animal size. And white paper targets on a brown background simulates real animals pretty well. You only need to print out 1 of each animal, then cut out 5 at a time on white paper. Not much ink involved. White paper is cheap. Like me!
I buy all my guns from t-rex. He's a small arms dealer.

Re: online paper target source?
Don't print the targets yourself with your inkjet printer ink and commercial card stock paper. That burns through ink and gets expensive quickly. Choose the ones that you want to print a bunch of and submit them as PDFs to a printing place. Make sure that you request that they get printed on card stock and are printed in black and white instead of color. It's a LOT cheaper and all you have to do is stop by and pick them up.

Go to a print shop that does commercial blue prints with a large scale printer. They can Down load the targets from the NRA website and print them to scale. Then trace that to a piece of thin plywood. Use that to make it a cookie cutter for making targets with black craft paper. You can make thousands of targets for almost nothing.

Or you can do the same thing just use some targets to trace to a piece of plywood or masonite.

I went to the local Dollar Store and purchased 2 plastic placemats. I traced the outline of the targets on the placemats and cut them out with an Exacto knife. This gets me a set of stencils to use with spray paint on poster board. The hole in the rams horn is held in place with a narrow strip of cellophane tape.
Good Luck
