Got a PC and a printer? You can easily create what you want in Microsoft Word. Also, the www has many, many free targets available for the printing. I have a couple thousand targets from “Official Slow Fire” to dart boards for friendly competition. In a pinch I use a roll of painters tape, a sharpie and crayons on a poster board. The inside of a roll of painters tape is 3”. The outside is as big as the amount of tape left on the roll. A light green or pink center is easy to see.

Zara_puppy, don't know why I never thought about printing targets. Found several sites available for free downloads. Printed a couple off of gunnewsdaily.com and they are very clear.

As much as I shoot it saves some money. Just punching holes in paper - might as well do it on the cheap. A piece of poster board and the painters tape to cover previous holes and a marker and I can use the same target for a whole session - or a couple short sessions. Any printed target using iron sights at 100 yards gets a poster board backing. No way I hit an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper with every shot using irons. That’s RanchRoper territory - and I’m not even close.
