Printable Bullseye Targets
by J Greely.
Long ago and far away, I made a bunch of shooting targets designed
to be printed on commonly-available PostScript-based laser
printers. They're still popular, but distribution is a bit spotty, the
complete set was never published, and not everyone uses US Letter
paper.
When an enthusiastic co-worker recently took up pistol shooting, I dusted
off my guns and joined in, as did a number of others in our
office. Naturally we came to the subject of printing our own targets,
which gave me something else to dust off. Here, then, is a mostly
complete archive of my NRA-style rifle and pistol targets, with
measurements taken from official NRA rule books. At the moment only
PostScript versions are available, and no new targets have been added
to the collection, but I'll be converting all of them to Adobe Acrobat
(PDF) format in the near future, as well as adding more paper sizes.
Once everything's up to date, I'll be happy to generate new targets
in the same style; just send me a clear description of the design
(source, number of rings, color, diameter, and line width). Now that
color printers are widespread and cheap, I'll be adding some color
designs as well; suggestions are welcome.
Want to make your own or edit mine? If you have Adobe Illustrator,
it's easy: just load up the PostScript version and have fun. Making
one from scratch in Illustrator can be tricky, especially if you're
working from a rule book (guides are your friend);
I have a custom Perl script that takes
target dimensions as input and generates Encapsulated PostScript as
output.

No, we're not a bunch of bloodthirsty killers. The name originated as
a joke, nobody else had registered the domain, and could there possibly
be a more appropriate place to put this archive?
