    You probabally already know that there are some good websites that allow you to download free targets. I use these and print them of on decent paper/card. The sight and see are good but free is better:D

    Now that's what I call a productive use of our tax dollars!:D:rolleyes:
    So know we know that at least one shooter is getting something back from the state in support of their sporting endevours!;)

    Problem is for CF rifle open sights at 200+ yards, the printed out A4 targets are too small. Sure I can hit them because I m great :D:D. Seriously though, even 25meter pistol requires at least A3,and thats just for the centers.

    If there was a friendly print firm who could copy the JPEG format targets and print them out on the correct size, and not charge the earth, that would be great.

    When you start mail ordering targets, you are creased on the postage costs, due to the weight of decent targets.

    Go to the store and pick up a pack of paper plates (10" to start) and a stapler.

    Don't spend a lot of money on expensive targets. Instead, spend the cash on a spotting scope or binoculars that you can use during hunting season as well.

    For hunters: get yourself a color that is as close to earth tone as possible. Avoid the red's and orange colors as they will be too obvious and easy to acquire. If you are shooting for taget practice, put a cross hair with a black marker down the middle.

    Once you master the 10" work your way down to smaller sizes.

    Plates are so easy to stick up with a stapler.

    If there is a party store in the area, they should have orange plates.

    Otherwise, stock up around Halloween.

    I use

    http://www.targetz.com/

    There are quite a few programs out there that will enlarge the image.
    If your lucky enough to have the right size printer then away with you.
    If not, most print works will do the job for you for small money.
    My local print shop does them for me, its totally legit. to use these images in this fashion.

    You will need a printer of course.

    Happy printing and shooting :)
