Why not just download & print?

Also the Scatt software will print ISSF targets scaled to any reasonable range you want.

Just as cheap to buy the targets really. At around €50 a 1000 landed here, you'd be wasting your time patching them.

Better off using that time to train

Fifty euro per thousand? Where are you buying from, they're only 14 euro from kruger.com directly! (Buy the target centre one without numbering for training).

And they're so cheap, I don't think they even make target repair stickers for them.

Cheapest for Air Pistol I've seen on Krueger is €23.53/1000

By the time you've shipped them, you'd be getting towards the €50 mark as they're not that small. But depends on how many you're getting and what kind of postage rates. The last time I got them I think 1000 weighed 6Kg, so it's not that cheap to post.

The 24 euro ones are full-size targets, but you don't really need full-size targets after the first hundred shots or so. The center-only targets do just fine - they're actually more than just a centre, they go out to the 3 ring like so:



Costs less - 13.45 euro. Weighs less too, 3.645 kg for 1000.

The fullsize ones don't have anything else on the target that you'd need:



(and you can get those ones for a few euro less if you don't get the consecutive numbering which isn't much use for training - obviously, for matches it's a different story).

And if you really need fullsize, you can get a holder for the centre cards.

Yes they do. They have that nice 'approved by ISSF' logo on them.

But good point, I'd seen those centres alright but I suppose if you're getting targets that might be used in competitions like postals you might need to have the full one.

I like the logo too, but not enough to pay twice the price for my training targets
You're right though, for competititons, it's a whole other ball of wax, and we keep a stash of the fullsize ones for that.

THE SHOOTEST

try a company in portadown / lurgan called atlas for industry
they make various sizes and colours


many are froze but few are frozen
