    Printable Targets

    What does everyone use for printable targets, if you use them I guess?

    And what reasons do you use the one you do?

    Well, depending on where I'm working I have some large plotters and printers at my disposal. And assorted graphics programs for designs and overlays on images. Depending on shooting mood, almost any kind of pattern or theme can be made.

    Internet has a lot of targets available without any work. If 8x11 works for you, go crazy. However, there's some 11x17 colour printers available pretty cheap as well. Replace the black cartridge in a inkjet monochrome printer for a better colour helps as well. Just tape over ports of whatever you've got out.

    Both have a bunch of good ones.
    Find a few that you like and print them out.
    Take them to the range and shot them.
    Figure out which ones you like.
    The ones you thought were great when sitting at your computer are not likely the ones you'll like at the range.

    Once you've decided the 'keepers', print out one of each.
    Take them to Staples, and print out 100 of each.
    Copies are 10 cents apiece for black&white; printing them at home will drain a cartridge pdq.

    I finally remembered to re-stock the folder Friday.
    Went to a little hole-in-the-wall printer in Portage, and rather than 10 cents(I think the last trip to Staples was actually 12 cents), this place only charged 7 cents.
    After taxes, 300 targets came out to $23.73, I was quite impressed.
    And, it was an hour's less driving!

    Well I'm down to 3 cents a copy on 3 holed punched paper(easier storage in binder).

    Got a free B/W laser printer(person upgrading to colour),aftermarket replacement toner cartridge(Amazon),recycled printer paper. The plan is to make this a dedicated printer for targets,reloading data sheets,rifle data sheets etc.

    I made my own, but I don't have a copy of it online. Picture a blank sheet of paper with a 3/4" black dot in the middle of it. Now put a 1/4" white dot in the middle of the black. That's my entire target.

    I've used DND black target patches (about 1 1/8" square) with an orange 1/4" dot in the center for 100 yd targets.
