EBR practice targets

hey all, after watching Ted's video on how he prepared for last years EBR I decided I was going to give it a go as well. I have printed out the targets of of the EBR site and cut off the 4 and 5 rings so I could fit six targets onto an 8.5x11 piece of paper. Then I printed out several copies to use for practice. If any one would like to use what I have made go ahead and print away. It might look a little janky but should be able to get the job done. Enjoy!

I printed the official target for Extreme Benchest on 8 1/2 x 11 paper and looks like it will have to be scaled up about 4 1/2 x. Is it possible to take the PDF to a printer and have them produce the exact size?

If you print the targets above by the OP the 8 ring measures about 1 1/2" instead of 2", which EBR rules call for. That's probably good for practice though.
 
Not sure what kind of format you printed yours in off of the website but when I printed mine off the EBR site on the 8.5x11 paper I measured the circles with a digital caliper and they were exactly what they were supposed to be based on the measurements from the EBR site. Then I cut off the 4 and 5 rings and taped 6 of the targets to an 8.5x11 piece of paper and took a photo of that page with my phone. When I printed the page with the 6 targets the circles were just slightly smaller than the required diameters, which I figured is fine for me so when I get out to the EBR event the targets should seem huge in comparison. Ted eluded to the fact that he reduced the size of his practice targets by 5%, I think, which makes your practice more challenging than the actual competition targets. If I were you I would make sure your printer is set up for direct image if you are wanting your practice targets to be exactly what they will be in competition. Hope this helps.
