Years ago I purchased a large lot (several hundreds) of paper targets that the Georgia State Police had rejected for some reason. They are the large sized paper (can't remember the dimensions) and have a single large green bullseye in the middle with multiple scoring rings but no numbers or other printing. I found the targets very easy to see and of good quality paper.
Over time I have taken to using the backside of the target to draw multiple bullseyes using a large mouth plastic cup. This gave me 6 bullseyes per target and were more useful on the pistol range where distances are short, while allowing fewer target changes. I keep targets stored laying flat with a bit of weight on them, and take them to the range rolled up in a poster tube.
I'm nearing the end of these targets and would like to purchase some targets for use on the pistol range (indoor, 25 yard max, though we very rarely run the targets out that far). I would like targets of relatively simple design. I've seen a number of designs that were way too busy for me, with all manner of scoring rings/markings and such.
And finally, my wife and I are not getting any younger and our vision reflects this, I wonder about the spatter burst type targets? Are they helpful? Are you able to use pasters on them to prolong their use a bit? Can they handle being rolled up in a tube for transport?
Thanks
