Target paper help

[mikecockcroft]

Looking for some help getting targets printed.
Looking for a source for paper to have targets printed on.
This is what I'm after:
Target Board 200GSM Matt

Web search showed it available in Germany from Koehler.
Any USA sources ????

Mike,
I guess that target paper is a mess now. The paper used at the Seymour shoot a couple weeks ago made smaller holes for some reason. You might contact Scott Hunter about it.

 

[Comrade Terry]

Try these folks, Mike. They may be able to help you.

tag-board works good.

Butch,
The Australian fly shoot targets are printed on Target Board 200GSM Matt
paper. They get it in the standard tan color and have it processed printed.
From what I've read about the paper, a bullet makes a perfect caliber size hole. Used by many International shooting organizations.
Have done a little more research and have found a phone number in New York that might help out.
Will pass on what I learn from them.
Mike

Well I heard back from Koehler USA. Said they could help me out as long as I bought at least a full container of paper. HAHAHAHA

Comrade Terry
Thanks. Looked at their website. I will contact them tomorrow. They print custom targets and also sell blank paper.

Since most of our available targets are blank on the backside is there a possibility of taking some of them of a usable size to a print shop and re-purposing them?

 

[mikecockcroft]

not a simple target to make

If you have an original and permission to copy it any decent print shop can scan it or make negatives/color separations and print however many are needed.

I have originals and permission to copy. Printing not the issue.
Paper won't work, need what they call "board". Specifically I want Target Board 200GSM Matt. Not easy to find.
Got a PM from a forum member that is a commercial printer. Says he can help me and sent phone number.

Go to your local commercial printer and have targets printed on 67Lb. vellum bristol - blows "target paper" out of the water, and is more affordable . . . how do I know? I operated printing presses for forty years . . .RG

 

[mikecockcroft]

Thank you. I will talk to printer about that option.

Yep 67lb Vellum bristol is what I have been using for a lot of years now. Not quite tagboard but for the price it works very well. I think I'm on my 3rd or fourth ream of it. Staples has it.

Call Dan Killough at Killough Shooting Sports on the heavy paper stock he uses for the ARA targets. They are excellent.

We were cleaning out a downstairs closet last year and found 2 rolls of wallpaper, the heavy corrugated type. It's a shade of brown on the back. I cut them in 8" by 10" size and stick a target sticker on them. They don't glare in the sun and bullets cut very clean. Barlow

 

[mikecockcroft]

Lots of good info
Will get to work
This is the target I need to print. Not using it for practice or load testing.
Having postal matches with the Australians and need the exact same target that they are using. A little more complicated then sticking a dot on a piece of paper. Most paper will not give you a true "hole" in the paper, hence the need for a better target type "board".
