Types of Paper Archery Targets

The history of archery goes way back in time and the use of this sport now is widespread. For those who don’t want to really engage in hunting or join in some tournaments, you can just convert the sport into your hobby and develop your shooting skills and discipline. If you’re a neophyte and you’re looking for a target that will suit you best, you may want to consider short-range paper archery targets. The fine grid lines above the center dot allow you to quickly estimate your group size. You can also go for the conventional bullseye with a 1″” X-ring for 100-yard shooting. If you want one that is also great for 100 yards, you can go for something that has a slightly smaller X-ring.

If you are shooting from 200 to 300 yards, you can opt for medium-range paper archery targets. Each fills up an 8.5×11″” sheet of paper. Even with 16x scope, you can enter your reticle on the target easily at 200 yards. The center diamond works well with Red Dot and iron sights at 50 yards. You can set your printer to black and white so that the colors will print dark gray. When looking for targets online, make sure they are MS Word or Acrobat. PDF files so the grid lines will print accurately and vividly.
