Anyone run this and have a method of printing the target?

Now that I can routinely pass the Modern Samurai Black Belt Standards, I?m starting in on this.

It is an LTT 18X25, Brownells sells them and some target companies do as well.
Sounds like good drill.
I have an 8 in round steel plate and I throw it on a piece of cardboard and spray paint it. It creates the negative image. Then I use 1 inch wide blue tape for the square.
But I'm a cheap bastard
And shooting the drill before everybody else...Quote:

"Cheap bastard" tip: The Post Office will provide free cardboard for your targets. Heck, they'll even deliver them to your door, free! Not that I've used their boxes for anything except shipping stuff...Quote:

But I cut a chunk of scrap wood to make that.Quote:

With pawnee being predictable weather the smaller surface area with a full frame would only get ripped down once in a while. The steel would usually stay up.
Different lay out and order of fire, but similar to a drill that the group I used to shoot with came up with.
5-7 yards, 10 rounds, target spread is about 4' on the stand...
2 shots into 1x3 rectangle - far left side of target stand
3 shots into 6" square - far right side of target stand
2 shots into 1x3 rectangle - Middle left of target stand
3 shots into 4" square - middle right of target stand
We turned it into a game among ourselves. Slowest time for a clean run would buy dinner.
We would all try to day dream up random challenges and drills to try and pick on each other.
Just made up this target, which includes the 8" version of the B8 target, along with 2 1" squares (the circles around the 1" squares are only 3" instead of the original 4"). This should print pretty close to exact size on a standard 8.5x11 printer. I test printed the PDF version, and selected "actual size" when printing, and it came out pretty damn close. Might vary a little based on your printer.
Link to a PDF version of the target:

And a version if you are printing on legal paper, didn't change the sizes of these elements, but added some of the small circles up top:

Yeah, hypno-toad is probably better than mickey. For a while it looked like cookie monster to me (When I was trying with 4" circles around the squares).
Yeah, Cookie Monster was what was in my head, but I couldn't put words to it.Quote:

Here is my approach-
-stick a leisurely draw (anything sub 1.5 is fine) getting a PERFECT lockup is much more important than getting a sub sec draw for this. It?s deceiving, because 5yd is close and work at that distance is usually purely a speed game for me. Not so with this. Gotta remind myself that circle targets of similar area are always harder to rep on than the COM A, and that while it is closer, it?s still much more difficult.
-manage .22-.25 splits for the B8 rings (which is difficult for me, and I have to consciously slow down, because I can?t routinely make all my hits at my standard.16-.18 pace)
-strive for sub second shots in the squares. For me, this is mentally an extreme trigger commitment game. I am forcing myself to press the shot earlier than I want to, but I?ve got to learn not to over-confirm sight picture.
Would love to know how you guys did/do.
Did not manage any sub 6sec drill (clean) today.

got a pile of them printed up for sometime later this week. I don't expect I'll be anywhere near 6 seconds.
I'm new to pistol & therefore going to try for under 15.

Dan512 and I hit the range today. Mostly focused on longer range pistol but right before we packed up I put up one of DenverGP’s targets and shot a 6.08 clean. Best before today was 7.5 sec.
Nice work.
Ran it a few times today. I was at 7 yards (range rules) and best I could do was 10 sec. This was also my first real trip to the range after 2 broken wrists, plus the sun was in my eyes, and flys were buzzing around my head, and the humidity was just way too high...
I am not sure sub 6 sec is in the cards yet, but I think 7 is looking doable.
