My pistol shoots palm sized groups all day... Prove it!

I can see where people don't like it, but I personally prefer the "if the paper breaks the line" rule. The same rules apply to everyone, and there's no ambiguity with scoring trying to figure out where exactly dead center is to determine scoring. I've seen the old timers at the range with their eye loop magnifier trying to see if the paper is broken. If anything, I say make the rings smaller :)

Personally prefer because it benefits you. But is it fair? when some shot are not even in the 10 ring? I can see white lines that not even broken. I still stand by what I scored on the paper. That's Honest fair scoring. Not what they tell me because a tear.

Aside from random paper tears or not...if you look at your target compared to some others, yours is blown up a little bit. There is no "7" visible on your target. Not sure if your target is larger than it should be or if the other folks' target is smaller than it should be when compared to the original. :)

Same copyright on the bottom as per the link. Yup his is blown up. Doesn't have the 7 ring marked with 7 and if superimpose a original copy, 3 shots would be in the 9 ring. No way thats a 100 x 5. I bet you the 10 ring is more then 3 1/8"

Damn. Not sure what happened there I downloaded the one from the other thread and printed a bunch at Staples.
 
could be the number 7 got wiped out by the no-print margin zone on the copier. If you make a photo-copy of a completely black page, you will see that some copiers leave a border of white around the edges of the page. Have seen this on older copiers, not sure about new copiers.

I used staples and mine came out the same as originals. His 8 ring is much closer to the boarder as the other targets people posted.

Harry Callahan Target # 2 and 3 did the same thing in post #45, or unless its cut off by the camera.
 
I tried printing the target linked to in the original post. If "Fit to page" is selected, I see the "7". If it isn't selected, it's gone, and the printout is zoomed in a bit and the black circle is clearly larger.
 
It should be printed out with no scaling, 8 ring should be 8" (makes for an easy measure), the 'Kadet' target looks good to me. A scoring plug/gauge is probably the best way to score the target, the score then becomes very evident, used my .22 gauge to score local matches and it works well. Without 'plugging' the target, I would guess 100 - 4X, very nice shooting whatever the score!

Not when its printed on a 8.5x 11 sheet of paper, 8 ring measure just shy around 7.5"
 
From the NRA Rulebook:

4.7 25 yard rapid or timed re - Exactly the same target as the 50 yard slow re except that only the 9 and 10 rings are black.

4.8 50 yard slow re Standard American Target - 8, 9 and 10 rings black.
X ring ......................1.695 in
10 ring .....................3.36 in
9 ring .......................5.54 in
8 ring .......................8.00 in
7 ring .....................11.00 in
6 ring .....................14.80 in
5 ring .....................19.68 in

But we are not using Actual NRA targets. so cannot base it off NRA size. Were using someone scanned and printout of a B-8 target so not 100% 1:1 scale. That we print on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

On the print out target the 8 ring is 7.46", 10ring is 3 1/8".. Everything is kinda scaled down.
 
We are shooting NRA sized targets, follow the direction on the linked target (NRA 25 YD TIMED AND RAPID FIRE PISTOL TARGET), set scaling to none or print at 100% (do not fit to page), 8 ring should be 8"

The linked target is supposed to be (and is) NRA dimensions when printed properly.
 
You guys are taking this post way to seriously!

Score this. M93 25yds.

Meh technically we are shooting smaller targets, so their for better :D meaning in the properly size target we still would have better score the ones using the fit to setting :D

Nice gnmontey!

Looks like 98 - 3X


Can't disagree with that Robert, smaller is tougher and better :)

Some phenomenal targets have been posted so far. 1/2" under spec to boot!!!!

When I can keep 10 shots on a desert plate at 25yds maybe I'll consider posting my target. Don't see that happening any time soon.
