I printed out some of these free Appleseed targets that have been floating around the gun forums in the past few months. I looked at the distance (50 feet) and scoffed. Well I got schooled today. I was trying in handloads with my Win 94 in .30 WCF and since it was sunny I decided to have some fun. I unrolled the old mat and got my old bones down there for the first time in longer than I care to admit. I was only marginal off-hand and prone to jerking. I suspect because the 94 is so much lighter in the barrel than the Mosins I'm used to. I was horrible prone, but did OK kneeling. All that bike riding has given me pillar like legs that are extremely stable. The rest of it needs a LOT of work though. This was the best one out of three targets that day:

Do a search for "free targets" on here.
A couple of us had threads on them with these and other targets in the last month or so.

Would you believe you're still better than average with that target? Kneeling seems to be your best, by far.
 
Well like I said that was my best of three! I highly recommend this target to jostle those of us who've gotten too wedded to bench shooting. It's a real eye opener.
