Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
Quite surprisingly Targetmaster has decent prices on shoot-n-see targets. I buy mine there for $5.99/pack (5 ovals with 3 replacement centers and a bunch of pasters). I have looked at Dicks, Surplus City and various other gun shops and have always seen higher prices.

Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
I google the word "targets" and print mine for free. When you spend $0.00 on targets, you don't need to use shoot-N-see to get the most mileage from a target.
Use the money you save for more ammo... or a decent spotting scope.
Here's an example of what comes up:

Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
The shoot-n-see are great, but seem a bit expensive. I found splatter targets are almost as good, and half the price. They make zombie targets and all that, but I've seen standard targets available as well. The only real leg up SNS's have is that their backing material is that bright, flourescant yellow while splatter's is white. I was just able to make out hits at 100yds with my bare eyes on the splatters, but a scope was preffered.
A google search said that they're available at some walmarts too.Last edited by silkworm; March 5th, 2012 at 04:16 PM.

Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
Lately I've been using pizza boxes, empty cases of beer, diaper boxes. Basically anything that came in a cardboard box. You can cut them into any shape or size you want. The hell with paying for targets anymore. I've also used constiction paper and at walmart they have rolls of this brown paper. I forget how many feet per roll but its quite a bit. Again, cut to desired shape and size.
Use masking tape or some kind of pasters to cover your hits and you'll get many range sessions out of a single taget.
Just get a little creative and have fun with it.

Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
I use a pizza box painted yellow, covered with black craft paint (not latex paint), then stencil a bullseye on it in white. Cheap-as-free customize-able SNS target!
Although lately I've been using B27s"Cave Johnson. We're done here."

You can print them from online hosts.
Also, paper plates work well too.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Cheapest place to get targets/target recommendation
I like these Dirty Bird targets. I usually buy them at Wal Mart. You can also buy them at Dicks
