Templates for paper targets.......

Post by OnaginOffagin »

Does anyone have a source for templates of high power targets? So I can make my own paper ones?

I made my own by holding cardboard behind the animals when painting them. Makes a great outline on the cardboard.

if you go to the NRA web site they have the PDF then I went to an engineering print shop since they have large format printers.

Here's what I did to get reusable paper targets. The next time you're at a match bring some construction cardboard ($0.50 a sheet) and trace the animals on it. Everyting except the rams will fit on one sheet each. You'll have to piece together two to get the rams.
Cut them out and paste them to some heavy box cardboard and cut them out again. Now when you need practice animals just lay the cutouts on whatever paper you want, use spray paint to copy the outline and you have a unlimited supply of paper targets.

Thanks for reminding me On again. Dave Bonner mentioned that he has a pdf file that I want to try out with a thermal label printer. This would make 4.25x 8" stick on targets that could have a number of reduced animals for up close or for out at 100.

I'll try this after I get done with highpower this weekend and will advise as to how it worked out.
