Print your own targets

Perhaps most of you know this but if you go to www.mytargets.com you can print a great variety for the price of your printer ink!

Also use card stock when you print them.The bullets poke cleaner holes.I buy mine a Wally World.110# 150 sheets.Cheap and will feed through your printer.Slow

Varmint Al has a bunch of targets listed on his site as well as links to others. Targetz.com has some real nice targets, haven't bought a target in years, just print my own.  ;)

Don't know if all printer software is like mine but when printing the downloaded TARGETZ.COM targets, make sure the page scaling is set to "NONE" and not "FIT TO PAGE" or else the target will be smaller than 1" scale.

As with all printing to scale you may have to experiment to get the right settings on your printer to print to scale so the grid is correct, I work with three printers, two Canons and an HP, the HP has to be manipulated, the Canons work fine with the default settings, but YMMV.  ;)
