True Scale Targets

Las Vegas, Nevada

Drawn from measurements

Most printable targets are pictures of targets.

The rings are whatever size the designer's drawing program made them, and your printer shrinks the page to fit without mentioning it. Ours carry a ruler. Check it in ten seconds, run a stack off on decent paper, and spend the rest of the morning shooting instead of wondering.

Calibrate this page to your screen

ISO 7810 ID-1

A bank card is 85.60 mm wide everywhere on earth. Once the outline matches yours, this page knows your screen's real scale, and the bar below is the one printed on every target sheet, at true size.

Hold a ruler against it. Five inches, exactly.

Why it matters

A four percent error is invisible until it isn't.

"Fit to page" is the default on most printers and it shrinks a letter sheet by about four percent without telling you. On a hundred-yard grid that is a quarter inch of error across a six-MOA correction: dialled into your scope, and invisible until the zero will not settle and you have burned an afternoon on it.

So every sheet carries the bar. Put a ruler on it once, before the first print of the day. 5.00 in and every dimension on that page is real. Anything else and you change one setting and print again. That is the whole ritual, and it takes about as long as finding your ear protection.

How it goes

Download, print, check, shoot.

  1. 01

    Download

    A pack or the whole library. The file is yours from the moment you buy it, print one sheet tonight or twenty next Saturday, for as long as you keep it.

  2. 02

    Print on decent paper

    100%, scaling off. Plain copy paper holds a grid and a group perfectly well. Card stock earns its money on anything you will staple up and shoot twice, it takes a staple without tearing and it does not curl on the backer halfway through a string.

  3. 03

    Check the bar

    Ten seconds with a ruler, once, on the first sheet out of the tray. After that your settings are right and you can print the rest without thinking about it again.

  4. 04

    Go shooting

    Every sheet says what distance it is for and carries what you need printed on it: turret tables, scoring values, a row for the date and the load. Nothing to look up at the bench.

On card stock, one thing worth knowing. 110 lb index is 199 gsm and feeds through most desktop printers. 110 lb cover is 298 gsm and will jam them. They are sold under the same number, so buy by the gsm and check your printer's media limit before you order a carton.

The line

Eighty-nine sheets, seventeen disciplines.

Five sheets to a pack, seven in the two biggest, plus an instruction sheet telling you how to print it, what each sheet is for and at what distance. Pick one to see what is in it.

ZR

Zeroing & Sight-In

Five grids for putting a sight where it belongs. Each one is drawn in the unit your turret actually clicks in, so you count squares and dial that many clicks. No arithmetic at the bench.

Six pages in all: these five sheets plus an instruction sheet that opens the pack: how to print it so the dimensions survive, what each sheet is for and at what distance, how to read what you shot, and what to check before you hang it.

How they're built

Computed, not drawn.

1.047″True MOA

One minute of angle is 1.047 inches at a hundred yards, not one inch. Most printable grids use the round number and build in a 4.5% error. Ours don't.

0.5 mmRule-book ISSF

Ring diameters are specified to the outside edge of the printed line. Drawn the obvious way, every ring comes out one line width oversize, wider than the air rifle ten ring itself.

2.3%Ink coverage

Measured coverage on most packs. Open outlines wherever the rules don't demand solid black, which is why a stack of twenty costs you pennies and you can put up a fresh sheet every string instead of rationing them.

Get them

Print a stack. Go shooting.

Every pack is a six-page PDF: five targets and the instruction sheet. Buy it once and it is yours: the night before a range day, or the morning of, or next season when you have run out again.

There is no printed-and-shipped option, on purpose. A target you can reprint the morning you need it beats one sitting in a box three states away, and a dimensioned sheet comes off your own printer in better shape than it comes out of an envelope. Check the bar once and the rest of the stack is right.

Single packs are $5 or $6: $6 for a pack with five firing targets, $5 for one carrying four, with a worksheet or a reference in place of the fifth. Two of them carry seven sheets rather than five at the same $6, Shotgun Patterning and Handload Development. The Complete Library is $39 for all 89 sheets across seventeen packs, 80 of them firing targets, 106 pages. Bought one pack at a time the same sheets come to $97. Not ready to take any of that on trust? The $3 sampler is four targets and the instruction sheet: enough to put a ruler on the bar and find out what your own printer does with it.
