paper targets

Post by glen ring »

Worker, thanks for posting these targets. I've been embarrased to ask how to do this on my machine . I'm still learning how to operate my computor. Thanks for taking the time to do these and make them available to all of us.

Not a problem! I'm happy to do it. I'm glad you guys like them. :)

It's not hard, really. You could do it on your home computer with Photoshop.
We do a lot of design and advertising at the place I work. We have a big quad core Power Mac with a scanner and the full version of Adobe Creative Suite which includes Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat Pro.

As long as all the work is caught up I'm allowed to use the setup to do side projects after hours.

The first batch of plain animals, I did earlier this summer for my own use so I could practice on my own. So there was really no time involved in making those for you guys. All I had to do was post them. Then, once I had those drawings, the subsequent versions were easy. It probably took 1 or 2 hours for the whole lot of them.

Like I said, go ahead and use them. Pass them around. Use them for shoots if you want. Just don't sell them or make them part of something people have to pay for. I don't mind doing work for charity. You know... Pitchin' in to help the team, so to speak. ;) But I'd be rather pissed off if somebody made a profit off my work without giving me my cut. :evil:

Hi Worker 11811

Thanks for the targets. May I make a request of putting 5 on a page and a inch line as a scale reference to check that the printer is set up right.

On the how I came to Oz. I came here in 1974 for a 6 month job installing new equipment at a NASA satellite tracking station. Some how i just stayed ,women.

Thanks again for your work on these and don't waste any more time on them if you don't want to.

Thanks for the scaled targets. I try shooting dots at 50yds a lunch or two a week. I buy a bunch of the 5yd airgun targets from Champions Choice. These scale pretty close to a 1'MOA. it helps me with my various bad habits. But dots get boring.

For a real 'pump me up' I think I'll put the 50m @ 25yds. Maybe then I can shoot solid AA scores.

Worker,
Since you're taking requests. ;-) How about lever action animals scaled for 25 yards. The ram just might fit on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.

Worker 11811, there are two different sizes in Lever Action, the ones for SB and PC are half the size of HP and NRA has the targets on their web site (same targets used for Hunters Pistol). They are to be used at 40-50-75 and 100 meters.

The other one is shot at 50-100-150-200 meters and are the same targets we they use with center fire pistols or rifles from 200 to 500 meters. NRA also has drawings for those targets.

I'm sensing a commercial opportunity here...
