In reply to JimB.

I rarely buy targets, and when I do its mostly for 50 yards and beyond for rifle. Occasionally I might do silhouettes types for pistol and rifle within 25 yards. But mostly I use 6 and 4 inch paper plates and they work fine.

I had a guy one day see me put up a round paper plate on the backer. In the lane next to me he had spent like 15 minutes exercising his OCD and putting up these nice printed rectangular paper targets on his backer and making sure they were level with an actual small digital ‘bubble’ level device. I taped up a round paper plate at its edged in about 2 seconds. He said to me “Is that level? You want to use my level?” I looked at him smiling a little and asked him “Can you make sure its level for me?”, I wasn’t serious and was joking. But he took out his level and tried his best to level the round paper plate vertically and horizontally.

I’m even cheaper. I’ll use the backing of the peel off targets that everyone leaves in the trash. Usually has plenty of red/black stickers to put in the middle and there are plenty of staples left in the target backing… j/k I bring my own push pins.

I’ve been using doller store paper plates with a 1-inch piece of Harbor Freight electrical tape in the center since the 90s.

Way more economical that buying and/or printing targets.

I use the 6 inch cocktail party plates and the 4 inch desert plates.
