By the way, anyone who wants the files for my nine page silhouettes, PM me your email address. I have a zip of each set. The individual files are jpgs that need to be adjusted to full page size and positioned for printing.

When I was a member at Atlanta (several years ago), after tear down of a USPSA match I'd go around and collect the no shoot and lightly shot targets from each bay... then I just had to take some tape with me to cover the holes! then the no shoots (or painted targets) I'd just turn around. Same thing with IDPA targets also. What ever is free or cheap. My uncle use to bring home 10" cardboard disks that they would recycle by the 1000's, used a lot of those too. Looked like a small pizza tray.

For handguns I use Birchwood Casey 8" Dirty Bird splatter targets, cause even at only 7 yards my old eyes need all the help they can get.

For my rifle at 25 and 50 yards I use this target with 4 added flourescent dots in the corners.

I bought 500 a-26 small bore rifle targets, and when my wife is with me we put a splatter target on the top bull for her

Man, you guys go all out! I guess I'm just cheap.

Generally my targets include whatever cardboard I have around with a spray painted black dot in the middle. These are c-clamped to a stand I made out of some old scrap wood.

Recently though, I have upgraded to putting some plastic torso and head targets on the stand that a retired LEO gave me. I then buy a pack of "peel-off-and-stick" envelopes from Dollar General (50 cents/100), take a magic marker and make a 3" square on them, stick them on the targets and have at it. When I've effectively blasted a hole so large the envelopes can't stick in the middle, I put a new plastic target up. I've got seven left.

Also, right now I'm getting real fancy with targets for deer season. I placed a cardboard box (probably 36"x24) 60 yards out and put a bucket with some rocks in it to anchor it down. Been having a lot of fun with my 629 getting ready for season.

Sometimes I make myself laugh with the stuff I do. I refuse to buy actual targets and assure that I'm casting and loading at 50/$4.00 that I might shoot my cheap ammo at my cheap targets with a $650 revolver

Staple online printed target, to a sheet of contrasting construction paper, to a wood or card board back stop! 4 or 5$ you have a variety of shoot n see targets.

This one always turns a few heads...

Just like the little girl target in Men In Black.

I use dirtbirds. I like the instant feedback but theres something about the sound of steel that gets me excited.

 

[micsonit]

Caldwell Orange Targets.

You need help from Dr. Phil!!!

 

[sgreen3]

I use the Shoot N C targets and the ones you can print from StormTactical

 

[jdhaines]

I use a trick I saw at a Suarez Class. Sheet of computer paper. Then buy a pack of shoot -n- see dots. It's like $4 for a pack of 500. Then stick a single dot in the center of the computer paper. Dirt cheap, great aiming point, chest sized paper shows good or bad hits.

Hey, those textbooks were WAY too advanced for her.

nice! I normally stick to bullseye and Silhouette somtimes a 2 litter but that works too.

If you are into self defense try something different if you have the chance. Hang a t-shirt over the target. It will make you think of the type of target you could be shooting at in case of self defense. Shooting at paper plates or bullseyes are great for accuracy but shoot at something more realistic is a good change of pace.

That's a good idea, I thought about doing that with 3D targets and clothes but those things are like $60 a piece.
