I found some pdf targets on a website (www.shootmagazine.com), and am a bit puzzled. Three "different" targets, and the ONLY difference is one says 800 yard, one says 900 yard, and one says 1000 yard. All three are formated on a standard 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Obviously, they should be much larger, right? I printed them to 11 x 17, scaled to fit and the "quadrile" windage and elevation adjustment lines measure 13/16 inch. Anyone know what they really should be? With photoshop, I can make these at least close to actual size, and have access to a plotter that should be able to print them 1 to 1, but it would be nice to get the target to it's correct size first.

Here's one example of the target I found: http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h242/Wwalstrom/Targets/creedmore.jpg

I found these NRA target dimensions on the MLAIC website, [Muzzle Loaders Associations International Committee, World governing body for muzzle loading shooting], where the NRA long range target dimensions apply to the 900 and 1000 yard Whitworth competition. (118" wide x 70" high)

See the chart and the rules specifying which NRA target is used about 3/4's of the way down the page:
