IDK... Are those "Shoot and See" targets waterproof??
IDPA we use carboard torso targets and cover them with plastic bags until shootin time. We don't mind shooting in drizzle, but a downpour is going to be a no-go for me!

I think the shoot n see targets are somewhat waterproof. Seems they're spendy, but more of a concern to me is they're harder to measure groups with than your standard paper or cardboard target. I've also thought about "taping" up a cardboard target but not sure how waterproof or cost effective that would be.

I know what you're talking about with IPSC targets. We do that in USPSA, but for precision rifle shooting, that would be pretty hard if think to shoot for groups.
And my bad for not specifying the type of shooting. For my original post, my thoughts were shooting from a bench for groups.

Shoot-n-see targets aren't waterproof, but they are reasonably water resistant.
Stuck to cardboard in the dry, then that cardboard stapled onto a plywood backboard usually holds up in the full wet pretty well.
Won't stick onto full wet very well, tho staples help.
Best source, price wise, for shoot-n-see targets in various sizes is amazon.

Corrugated plastics used for shipping are great waterproof targets. They are as thick as cardboard yet don't deteriorate under rainfall, and still can be used in most common target stands like cardboard.
Get a stencil from the artsy store and draw on your own circles using permanent marker in whatever color suits you.
I used to just pick this stuff out of the trash when working near a certain semiconductor company.

Paper plates, pick the ones that are moisture resistant.

I'd go with steel.
Or see about laminating at your local office supply store.

Great idea.This right here and most are free after elections.
The steel target companies also make sheet metal stencils and they are surprisingly cheap.
