Can anyone tell me where one can order the targets with the tapered crosses? They make sighting in a breeze. (The ones I used on the weekend were orange crosses).

I just use plane white paper with 1/2" red stickers from Staples. When fine tuning I'll put one up as a point of aim and have another 2" or 3" higher for point of impact. Without all that clutter on the target, it's very easy to see where your bullets are landing.

You can get them almost anywhere the local hardware store has them in my town of 2500 in sask. Last time I was in wholesale sports they had a stack over two inches thick there. I would assume anygun store might have them. Here you go

I think that the ones Mackillan refers to are the "scope sighters" and they can be had a WSS. They also make a larger one for out further than 100 yds.
 
I design my own targets for sighting in. Then I have them printed on heavy coverstock for use. Since I have access to a printroom at my place of employ, the cost of printing these is manageable. I have 3 sizes made up, a small version for varmint rifles and rimfires with bigger optics, a standard version, as pictured below for my hunting centerfires, and a large version I use at 200 & 300 meters. I find this the best for me [so far, still experimenting] It helps me center the crosshairs on the bull easily, and groups shot with this compared to a round bullseye are always better, using optics, of course. Regards, Eagleye.

Thanks eagle. Ive seen similar ones on the net. I will try them out. I bought some sighting in targets at Cabelas as they have the outer circumference at 100 nicely defined.

As the years go on, I find the holes are harder to see.....

What I have found that if you shoot a bigger cal. the holes are easier to see;)

I'm up to 50BMG and I can see the holes clearly:p

White paper with a 6" black square on it is the best....
You just aim for one of the 4 corners...Cross hairs line up perfect.

while we're on the topic of targets...where can i find targets that show where the bullet impacts by making the colours change near the point of impact? sorry, i don't know what they're called exactly. I want to buy...fairly large quantities (500-1000?)

Birchwood Casey is the company that make them. (Shoot-N-C Targets)

They are rather expensive at around $10 for 5 targets. You can get them from Wholesale Sports, I would guess that most gun stores would carry a few in stock and the bigger places would carry a few more than that.
