Would anyone have any idea where I can buy some full size high power rifle silhouette targets? The club I shoot at has maximum distance of 200 yards. I now have a location I can shoot the full distance but I don't have any targets! Drat.

Are you talking about targets for NRA & CMP Highpower rifle compitition? Only Off Hand (standing) is shot at 200 yards, sitting is shot at 300 and prone (laying on your belly) is at 600 yards.

You can buy "reduced" targets for the sitting (SR-42) and prone (MR-52) strings that will give you the same sight picture as shooting at full distance.

Try these places.

Remember: Dry fire as much as you can, focus on the front sight, forget about the last shot, don't worry about the next shot, and break this shot in the X ring.

Good luck,

You mean regulation Metallic Silhouette targets, chicken, pig, turkey, ram?

Hey there, thanks for the help. I meant paper targets, not metal ones. I believe the dang sheep weighs 63 lbs! That's waaaaay too much for my lazy self to lift! I'd far rather lift paper and a stapler. So far, I hadn't found any paper ones. Thanks though. Rog

If you had a print shop that would scale them up, the correct layout is shown on a 1" grid at: http://www.nrahq.org/compete/dept-silh.asp
