I have some 100 yd targets. What do you guys use for 200yds? How big is the bullseye or aiming point? I have a 4.5 X 14.5 scope. Thanks

I use 100 yard targets I printed on 8.5"x11" paper out to 300 yards. 3-9 scopes. Of course I still have 30 year young eyes.... A group is a group, no matter how big the target is IMO.

My eyes just went to hell in the last couple years. I think I just need to find another 100 yd target or make one.

If that's the case, posterboard and spray paint would be the cheapest/easiest

I like these the best:

Targets

Nice and bright and lots of points of aim.

Have a look here.

I got them Thanks

Hey Chain, I've "heard" that when our eyes are adjusted to be 20/20, we should be able to detect a 1" object at 100yds. Not sure I can still do that, if I ever could. But the scopes I use sure allow me to aim at a "small" corner of a solid Black Square.

I can see solid Black Squares much better than "circles" for my shooting. And it keeps me from having to guess when I'm centered in the circle.

So, I just make up some various size solid Black Squares with either Excel, or regular old kids construction paper.

And I align the Scope Reticle to shoot at the corners of those squares. I just snug it up so the background disappears and as it does, the Sear Releases.

I can see an 8.5"x11" solid Black Square way out yonder. You can always put 2, 3, or 4 of them together if it helps. And I really don't have to destroy it while practicing. I usually adjust the scope "off the corner" a bit so the Points of Impact are making the group on a regular sheet of clean 8.5"x11" paper. And I can put four of the white sheets on a large piece of corrogated box with the solid Black Square in the middle of them.

For closer shooting, I normally just shoot the Excel solid Black Squares of appropriate sizes. With my scopes, a 1" solid Black Square does fine at 100yds and I put 4 of them on a sheet. Then I just multiply the size of the square for the distance I will be shooting, 1"x3 for 300yds, 1"x4 for 400yds. And I normally just shoot these actual Targets and keep them all in 3-ring binders for that specific rifle with the Load Data Sheets.

Best of luck to you.

4 powder scope ?, 1" diamonds or Vs work for me at 100 yds.The reticles stay visable and the point of aim IS a point. Xs will also work. roger

I print most of mine off the `puter. Here is a web site with more kinds then you`ll know what to do with..Something here should work for ya.
