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!

[John]

Looks like I’m off to the shops for printer ink I’m out just tried to print a few different ones there off thank for putting them together I’m sure there a lot here that will appreciate them.

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.

[Aliqua]

Thanks for the clarification.

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.

[Larry]

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.

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.

I would love to see a dart board target so that shooters could compete against each other using traditional darts games but using an air rifle or .22

[Oldbloke]

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.

EDIT: These are the ones I use - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-2sc-IHMSA-NRA-Metallic-Silhouette-Targets-4pc-AR500-Steel-Rifle-Knock-overs-/261052417780

Bladeracer. If you pdf them you can now upload them as an attachment

Good point Oldbloke, just need to find them now!

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.

Thanks Bladeracer. I did it in word, and I don't know how to do diamonds, but I'm more than happy to try!

Print one, measure it, work out the percentage difference in size, print at that percentage scaling.

[bladeracer]

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.

[bladeracer]

Thanks Bladeracer. I did it in word, and I don't know how to do diamonds, but I'm more than happy to try!

I wouldn't know how to do it in Word, I've used TurboCAD since '93, when it was still DOS.

[Dazed and Confused]

Some rimfire targets I like to use at home. The jpegs are big enough to be printed clearly. If anyone needs pdf's I can add them later.

[TassieTiger]

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.

Sorry pics are sideways--got me rooted howthat happens when they were uploaded vertical... Must be that high grade user friendly technology...it gets me that we can fly an unmanned space ship within a rats pubic hair of Neptune but we cant get pictures orientated correctly with a computer more powerful than the one on the spaceship...

blade have you ever tried this



l know its a crappy picture but you bracket the box with your reticle and your shots going into the centre

Not sure I follow that.

[Dazed and Confused]

coreflute :

Most Real Estates have an abundance of corflute that they will happily give out for free. Slap ten to fifteen together and you can shoot an target arrow out of a 70lbs compound bow into it and it will hold.

Same trick with old wetsuit material.

This is what I mean, the horizontal/verticle reticle does not obstruct the 45-degree grid lines.

I think marksman is saying frame the edge of the box with the reticle--so im using frame in place of his bracket wording...
And if you want the holes to print inside the box you just dial them over the half inch (or whatever click value is necessary)

I can't see how to "frame" it with same precision as aiming at a line intersection though.
When I'm shooting paper I dial the impacts to be away from my aiming point already, so it remains consistent.
