I haven't been active on here in a while, but I've been working quite a bit on a series of training targets on my own. They are based around anatomy and standards that I want to obtain as a shooter. As I get closer to what I would consider "Version 1.0" I'd like some feedback on if you think that the concept of printable targets that piece together from US Letter sized paper is valuable or desirable to folks other than myself. I've grown used to using a paper cutter to trim margins and using 3M 77 spray to attach them to cardboard backers, and find it very convenient for my use. However, my range has 24x24 and 24x48 target stands and I'm not sure if this is standard or just unique to me. I'm contemplating creating a digital download store for some of these and just trying to gauge interest. I'd appreciate feedback, here's what I've been working on the past months.
Some explanation on target zones:
1. Solid outlines are primary hit zones.
2. Dotted outlines are secondary hit zones.
3. Crosshairs represent the best possible impact on target.
4. 2 MOA dots on head and chest represent height over bore hold point for an AR-15 (absolute co-witness assumed).
5. Grid overlay is 1" squares for group measurement.
6. Numbered circules match the dot torture drill and are multi-use aiming points for diagnostic shots.
7. I haven't added zones to the anatomy targets yet, because I feel like it's way obvious if your hits are effective on those.

I made up this target today to support some one-handed shooting drills I want to try at the range. It was inspired by @Greg 's thread, here:
https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....869#post920869
The target is a pair of 5" circles. Left one is for a string with the left hand, right one for the right hand. I superimposed a 4" square grid, to estimate group sizes, and put a 1/4" dot to have as an aiming reference in the center.

I use this handy thing to draw targets on old Amazon boxes.
The dimensions are right on for AP1 targets.

My results...
I wanted to have a 1/3 scale B8 target today to go with a 1/3 USPSA target that I bought at the Ben Stoeger Pro Shop. So I took the standard B8 ring dimensions, scaled them 1/3, and drew one up:
I have been meaning to try and start to practice some of the Gabe White Technical Standards at my local square range.
I contacted @Mr_White, who graciously gave me permission to reference them for an attempt to design a target using 8 1/2 x 11 paper that I could use.
Below is version v3; it features an approximation of a USPSA A zone, as well as a superimposed 4" circle. I also included a brief textual summary of each of the four skills test, as well as the web link. Many thanks to Gabe for letting me bug him by email.
I was thinking it would be useful to have a Dot Torture target with less than 50 rounds, given the current ammo situation.
Below is 20 round version, with the same sequence, just less rounds.
Standard rules for printing; no scaling, it's a PDF file. Circles should be 2", exactly.
EDIT: I can't seem to add the pdf version of the file. I am having issues in uploading. If/when I can get this problem worked out, I will upload the printable PDF.
