Here is a target I made years ago. I have not shot it in years either so all I am offering right now is the target.
Shoot it with PELLETS ONLY.

Hi Oldspook,
Excuse my ignorance, but is your link a PFD type doccument, so who ever prints it, as long as it’s on an A4 size paper, it will always print the same size for everyone?
I’m keen to give it a try with my Gamo, it’s an IGT, but pretty much the same as a springer.
Only problem is my rifle is zeroed 30m, I don’t think I can get 90m with out shimming my scope
Thanks,
Pete.

This seems like a fun challenge. Every now and then I will shoot my springers at 100 yards, but most of my springers are sub 12 foot pounds. We will see what I can do with this target!

Ok. I shot 5 cards. Best was 1st. It is hard target to shoot with a .177 as you can't see the hits, even with a target camera. At least I couldn't.
100-yards
Tx200 Miii FAC .177
Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50mm
AA Field Heavy 10.3 sorted to 10.4
Temp 90°F, High Humidity
Wind 0 to 5 mph from 6 to 9 o'clock
Bench with bag rests.
Obviously I suck. At least so far. I scored .177 and not .22.
Cards:
1 34 (3 3/8") 5s = 2; Black=9
2 26 (3 5/8") 5s = 0; Black=7
3 30 (5 7/8") 5s = 2; Black=6
4 32 (3 7/8") 5s = 1; Black=9
5 30 (4 9/16") 5s = 1; Black=8

I won't know until we get a few more I guess. I should not have been outside the black at all in my mind.

Im keen to give it a go with my gamo CFR, but need to get to a 90m range, and will probably have to shim my scope

Question, at the lower right of this target it is printed " 10 shots". So you only shoot 10 shots per target, then score it?

Whats the black (#3) ring size ? Or what are the ring sizes?
Be nice if that ring size info was on the target so you know .
For example in a corner

I’m not complaining about Oldspooks target, or his effort to creat it and share it here, Thanks Oldspook! but just a suggestion, maybe going forward it might be easier to standardize a 100y/90m target, with each scoring ring 1inch wide?
But actually that won’t work, because a 9inch wide target won’t fit on an A4 paper, which is no doubt why OldSpook made it 8inches wide
OR… if OldSpooks target is saved as a PDF, (which was my original question in post #2) it should print exactly the same size on any printer, anywhere in the world… not so?
The other difference I noticed which might affect the print size is the size of the paper/printer setting, or maybe it’s just terminology…?
Maybe some US members could help me understand, I’ve seen some US members talking about an 8x11 or something like that. What I think normal printer paper is, is what I call an A4. Are they the same size piece of paper? Do you use A4 in the US?
An A4 measures 297mm by 210mm
That converts to 11.69inches by 8.26 inches???
And yes, I know I’m OCD, but one last thing, it should be 91,44m, to keep it all fair
(100y = 91,44m)
After all of that, when I do finally manage to get out and try this challenge at 91,44m, I doubt I’m even going to hit paper

The target dimensions are fine. There is always a couple hundredths measurement error or printing error. These dimensions work. I just struggled with not being able to adjust from shot to shot and had to wait until completed to make a call because black made it was hard to track shots. I suspect black is easier with open sights though. I have a decent wifi shot camera and couldn't pull shots unless I did close-up on a target.

If you look a a usbr target the rings progress in size / the outer rings are wider then the inner.I’m not complaining about Oldspooks target, or his effort to creat it and share it here, Thanks Oldspook! but just a suggestion, maybe going forward it might be easier to standardize a 100y/90m target, with each scoring ring 1inch wide?

Nra stays true to ring for gun / range used (air gun )
Air gun sights should be 1 click= 1/10mm at 10m. So on that target 4 clicks = 1 ring thickness.

There are a lot of different 100-yard targets. All are fine for the purpose. The goal is to make one competitive for the role. This one works fine. It should be challenging but allow for a range of scores. The trick is people have to try it. The challenge is that it is the same reference point.
