targets for 300 yard distance

[Texas Solo]

Target size is dependent on scope power.....

Not where scoring is concerned

If you're traveling an hour or more for 300 yards, take an assortment of bull sizes and colors. Splatters are a good idea. Driving an hour to shoot a fine black reticle on a big black bull will not be satisfying. The light matters too. I've switched over to white splatter targets and sometimes put those red circles mentioned above on center.

A 5 or 6" diameter self-healing target works well for accurate hunting rifles/fun shooting. I tape cardboard on the back if I want to know group size. Newer ones have temporary color change of bullet impact, if you have a good spotting scope. Mount them to swing/spin is fun.

Pretty sure the OP isn't talking about competition shooting.....

I'm still repurposing my old 100/200 yard Hunter BR targets for 100 to 600 or more yards, tape the holes & go to town.....

Here is a good place to start if you want to print your own. I like the Group A, Group B, Group C target for 300 yds.

I know nothing about shooting more than 100 or so yards. I would like to try 300 yards. Is there a target you prefer for that distance? Thanks

Great question! It really does depend on what you're doing, I find that (assuming equal bench techniques) that a NON-COMPETITION target needs to be designed for the distance that you're shooting, the type of sights that you're using and the importance of the fun equation!

I'm attaching a 300-yard 12x scoped rifle target that I use for fun. If you have a decent spotting scope it works and you can print it on a laser or inkjet printer. The square is 4"x4".

The color target is a 13" x 19" designed for scope use.

Draw using a magic marker 1” triangles maybe 2” at 300 the triangle on cardboard the triangle tips give you a “defined” aiming point unlike circles and triangle size gives you a Quick reference to group size

I feel it depends on the gun and scope you're using. You don't want a target you can't see details very well or one that your gun prints to large for.

I use the attached one out to 300 yds.:

I have these for 300 & 400 also but on another computer. Print on card stock.
1/4" grid for the 100 and 1/2" grid for the 200.

You can also cut squares of the appropriate size & tape them on a piece of cardboard:







Or you can grid out lines on paper stock and draw circles using appropriate sized washers.

I also have taken spade bits & drill different size holes in spray paint plastic lids:

If you ever want to shoot further on the cheap, paper plates work too:
