Paper Targets

[WillysWagon]

I'm looking into "buying in bulk" some paper targets for plinking.
Basically, I'm looking for the same type that Dragonman has.
The ones he has only say "Order No. S-1" and no other marking for who made them.
Very heavy weight paper, silhouette style, easy to staple to a wood backing (2X4 or pallet).
I've got several different types of lightweight paper ones, but am looking for the cardboard/chipboard style.
What do you guys use ?

Thanks for the input [Beer]

Tons of free, printable targets available on the internet. I print my own on regular old paper and staple them to the wood backing of my target holders. Cheap as it gets and work great.

This ^. Or, I get the big packs of 6" paper plates at the dollar store.

I have printed my own before, but prefer the size of the 23"X45" (or so) silhouette type target. I've found similiar types but they were on "flimsy" paper and tore easily in a decent wind, even when stapled on all 4 corners. Sometimes I drive a pole in the ground, strap a 2X4 to it and staple my target to it on the center top/bottom of the paper. That's one reason I like the heavier weight paper, less paper bending in the wind.

I'll have to call American Target, some of their shipping weights lend me to think their 'paper' may be the heavy stuff I'm looking for.

I use cardboard IPSC targets. Shoot me a PM if you need some.

770 9" paper plates from Costco for $15. You can even draw little circles on them with a pen.

A lot of the big boys use a simple piece of paper for a torso and two index cards, overlapping in a T shape. That's what I use for my simulated people targets. It's cheap and encourages more accuracy than is strictly necessary, which strikes me as a good thing.

I'm going to experiment with some graph paper and a bingo marker. This should make good, inexpensive zero targets.

If I am just shooting for groupings, I tape up some butcher paper off of a roll, draw quarter sized dots in grids on the paper, and I have numerous targets to aim at.

That said, I get lots of silhouettes from work. American Target on Santa Fe is a great place to pick up targets at reasonable prices.

American Target Co! Been there in person, you want bulk, he's got bulk! Official NRA targets, in a mind-boggling array of styes and sizes. I picked up 100 Official 100-yard military Rifle targets for $25. This kind.

I just picked up 100 of the cardboard IPSC targets from American Target last week. $48 out the door.

These targets will withstand a lot of shooting if you don't mind a little taping.

They'll ship...just don't know the cost.
