I just tape up A3 paper.
Four sheets is 600mm wide by 840mm high. Six sheets give you 900mm by 840mm, Eight give you 1260mm by 900mm.
A ream of paper and a roll of Magic Tape is probably under $20 and gives you an awful lot of shooting.
Otherwise, Ebay or Amazon.
Or take that picture to Officeworks and ask them to run you off some prints sectioned on A3 paper. Or they'll even print them for you up to A0 - 840mm by 1190mm for $9.

They also do a 45m roll of paper over a meter wide for $50.

I have had a look for pre-printed pattern analysis targets but haven't found any.
All you need is an aiming mark on a blank sheet. Fire the shot, and then mark out the quadrants and count the holes.

For backing, a big sheet of coreflute from a pallet is a perfect size, a trucking deppo should be able to help you find some.
The coreflute will stop the thin paper from tearing and will give you perfect little holes.

We just used a bit of thin metal sheeting, marked a aiming mark on it and fired a shot, worked out where the majority of pellets were above, below or 50/50 and that told us whether we needed to adjust the comb up or down, left or right.

That's all I do too, but some people like to count lots of little holes and assign numbers to various parts of the pattern. It's probably more import for shooting at small targets at longer ranges, like clays?
