Print Targets

Being miserable I've always made and printed my own targets. I thought I'd get carried away and buy some from Sinclair Int but most of what I looked at were "Out of Stock". I googled and stumbled onto a site that allows you to create your own and it's pretty simple to use so I'm posting this in case there are other tight people out there that would rather spend $ on reloading stuff.

It may have been posted before but I haven't seen it and a search didn't bring it up. I printed mine on 160 g/m2 color copy paper.

Thanks! I'll bookmark this. It'll take me a little trial-and-erroring to get the hang of it, but that's pretty nice!

I appreciate the time, skill and effort!
 
I've used that site a number of times - pretty handy, indeed.

I'm attaching an Excel file with a target that I have used almost exclusively for load development at 100 and 200 yards. The background is a 1/4" grid and the triangles are 1" tall. Y'all are welcome to give it a try . . .

Edited to add: Set up to print on 8.5x11 paper. I usually use card stock.

I make my own tailored to my specific needs, i.e. serious range practice for hunting applications. Its cheaper, simpler, and more effective for my specific needs.

For big game hunting practice I use standard 8 1/2 x 11 white typing paper 24 weight which holds up better. Using power point I inscribe concentric circles of 6", 5", 4", 3", 2". Using this target I get a true sense of my capability to hit the vitals at various distances shooting in field positions.

For varmint / predator hunting practice I use a 4 x 6 card with 4", 3", 2", and 1" circles inscribed on the card. Again, this give me a true sense of my capability. I stop using orange dots so as to make the target more realistic - i.e. groundhogs and coyotes don't have orange dot on them.:)

On slow days in the field varmint hunting I sometimes setup an 8 x 11 cardboard and tape a 3x5 card to it. It makes great practice under field condition moving the target at various distances and it's a lot of fun.

PS: For load development and initial scope sight off the bench I use an orange dot pasted in the center on the 8 1/2 x 11 target to give me precise aiming point.
 
Benchrest only here.
I like orange or red 1" squares.
I can get and keep a poa when testing poi by clicking scope off an inch.
It was taught to me by a good shooter and it works well.
