Attached is the A4 for the RMS targets. They are all on one page which I usually staple it to a box and just move up and down the range.

How do you make out the white silhouettes on the white page?
That's why I cut them out and stick them on a brown board, to replicate the dirt contrast of an actual competition shoot.

I am trying to find the plans for half size chicken , pigs, turkeys and rams with inch squares that I can print off then scale up by hand on cardboard to give to my metal shop. I need to get a quote for our club so we can start field pistol. Gives us an excuse to buy 44,s 45,s etc.
Any ideas?

I have the drawings I can send you. They're full-size on one-inch grid. I basically mark out the grid (at whatever scale I'm making - one-inch, half-inch, three-eighths, fifth, and tenth scale) only where I need to draw, then just sketch them in freehand straight off the computer screen. I haven't bothered trying to print them at any scale. Once I've made a template I just cut them out of copy paper ten pages thick, and file them away.

PM me your email address and I'll send them through.

Can anyone link to a good template for long range 308 targets? What is acceptable at the more popular ranges such as eagle park? Thanks!

Any paper targets are acceptable at Eagle Park except for images of people, human silhouettes etc.

All the targets in the first post would be fine.

You'll find this is the case at every range really.

I did print them in the past. But just use these now. Very cost effective.

I'm going to have a play in photoshop tomorrow and do some metric scaled (A4 - 10mm / 100mm scale) targets and upload them. Feedback would be appreciated.

Are these the 1/5 size. I would like to get a template so I can do like BR and just mark them onto a bit of mdf.
@bladeracer do you have a template you could PM me for the 1/5 size? or anyone much appreciated.

Use is rimfire free standing with scope.

Disclaimer: I have no experience in designing targets, or designing for a specific purpose. But during this 'down time', I had a look at some MIL/MRAD templates (all imperial measurements), and wanted to give it a go in metric... so i made a 25, 50, 100, 200m sighting in target template for MIL/MRAD scopes. When printed, the squares are exactly 10mm, and I have put visual guides that i hope can be read through the scope as to how many squares/mm away from the bullseye. Furthermore, I did these targets at night, so I dont know if i got the calculations correct at the top.

I would appreciate any feedback and happy to make the required changes to make this something a little more appropriate/acceptable.

I tried to upload the .docx but the file is not allowed. In the instance that anyone would like this template, your welcome to PM me and I'll send the .docx

The JPEG is just for preview. It is NOT to scale. If you want the scaled version, download the PDF attachment.

It looks good but I prefer diamonds rather than squares.
I aim at the intersections of the fine lines for precision, but I'm leaning toward printing my next targets with a 45-degree grid so the lines are not obscured by the reticle.

And a very basic attempt at putting them in a single PDF, I'm sure somebody else can make a better job of it though.

Not sure if this is known or not (I don’t really know if it’s true) but this came up whilst I was buying some gear today at a lg shop - in Tas it’s apparently illegal to shoot at targets that resemble in silhouette - a human outline (like you see at most us ranges) and apparently, even on private property’s - you can and will be charged for shooting such a target Or targets that might represent a person.....
The query arose when a gent came in alongside me to buy some clays and said he was gunna put some photos of his ex on the clays and shoot em. The shop owner advised him of the legalities and it sparked a convo.

If anyone is looking for good target backing...
My local green shed is selling out of coreflute at the moment...

500mm x 600mm x 3mm thick sheets in green red & blue,

As well as 1m x 1.2m x 4mm thick white sheets.

All sizes for $2.50 per sheet...

Its the best stuff for shooting targets...ive always got a couple of sheets in the car when i go bush.

Its also good for pinning out furs (fox/cat etc) after tanning to oil them up.
