Hi chaps. Our club are running low on the paper targets we use in our indoor range. I offered to get a quote from my brother to supply some as he works in a print company. Problem is that he said if they just copy the one I have, it will lose definition. He has asked for a downloadable file. I’ve attached a picture of the one I’m looking for. Anybody have a link to a download for this type of target, please?
Thank you.

you can design your own targets, then download them as a PDF.

I've always made my own targets for the 100m range. Here's an example of one I made, but bare in mind I made this for use with my MRAD scope so each box is 1cm x 1cm so won't really be of use for MOA scopes.
I make them in PowerPoint since you can specify the size of the boxes in cm or in pixels, so obviously I used cm in this example. I then export the document as a PDF which maintains good resolution. If you save it as a picture then decide to zoom in you will get pixelation etc as your brother has mentioned.

Thank you. These are mainly for our indoor 25 yard range so don't need anything fancy.

WS, these print at 1cm squares on A4? If so they are prefect for my use as I can use them for 100m zeroing

bobbob,
you will need to ask him what FORMAT the files need to be in. Some can work from PDFs but there are better ones that [professional printers use.

Yes Dave, when you print the PDF document within the .zip folder select "100% size" in the print properties. And yes, this is for A4 paper. I made it specifcally so that I knew that one click on my mrad scope moves the POI by one box.
The original powerpoint is included in the .zip folder too, so feel free to edit the colours, text boxes etc. as you see fit.

That's a point. My brother isn't to up on computer stuff. He basically fixes and restocks the place and anything else they need him to do. Thanks.
