Target For Printing

good idea..but if the gun is a target rifle, the dot in the riffle is too big.
for target i use an 1/8th dot at 100, only slightly larger fro 200.
aim small miss small
 
Sound good. I will REV. the target. I will wait to see if anything else come up needing changed. Should I make the center dot bigger? I have a high power scope and it works fine for me but I know othe folks dont.

Just from my experience, including red will
Increase the cost considerably. I had these modified with out the red diamond. Cut cost
Almost in half. Also made the upper aim point gray .
If you have them printed at your local print

Rev 3 looks best to me.

I will include one I developed in MS Word using the drawing tools. I use it for 100m shooting. I tried to make the aiming point so my 1/8 min dot would fill the center.

Perhaps you mean "too big" for you.

My scopes have small aiming dots, but I prefer a bull's eye in the center of my targets very slightly larger than the apparent size of the scope center dot when viewed at max power at my normal load development distance. That makes them significantly larger than what you prefer.

That way when I center everything up, I can see a thin sliver of the bulls eye surrounding my scope aiming dot. The slightest aiming error is easy to detect.

In my experience, if the bull's eye is too small, it can be hidden somewhere behind the scope aiming dot and/or cross-hair and that "somewhere" may be difficult to nail down.

Of course, everything depends on the shooting distance, scope magnification, zoom setting, front or rear focus reticle, cross hair thickness, center dot diameter, etc.

The point is, some folks prefer to cover the bulls eye with the center dot and/or cross hairs and some prefer to have the edges peeking out around the sides. But if you print your own, then you get to fine tune the targets to your individual liking.
 
Here are some I made up. I shoot with a target dot, so the white centers allow me to hold the dot in the center.

no...i have small dots in my scopes. i like an aiming point i can put the dot inside of..just barely.
if your dot covers up the target dot, how do you know you are centered?

Re-read my post. We're saying the same thing, except that I point out that the proper aiming dot size depends on many factors and needs to be adjusted to suit each shooters circumstances.
