I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for shoot n c style targets for f-class? I would love a 300 yrd reduced target for practice. Would not mind trying out a 600 yd targets shoot n c repair center. Not sure how well that would work but would not mind trying. Not always easy to find target pullers.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
I'm assuming you want something larger than they sell in the stores.
Buy a large florescent colored piece of poster board at the local pharmacy store. should cost you about $0.69 and use large width packing tape and cover the entire piece of the board with a single layer of tape. Doing this on a large table and starting and stopping with 2" of excess on each side makes it easy to run a tape gun and this will take you about 2 minutes. Then hit it with a even coat of black spray paint.
Make some stencils and spray your target design with colorful (white, orange, etc..) paint and hang the target to shoot.
It will act just like a shoot-n-see target; the impact of the bullet flakes the paint off the tape and exposes the underlying fluorescent green paper.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
Shoot-N-C 18" targets are commercially available. I usually get them from Cabelas:
http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shoot-N-C-1834-Round-Target/741819.uts
I routinely use these at 600 yd after blacking out the lines/numbers with an extra fat Sharpie marker. The yellow lines and numbers make it harder to spot the holes at 600 yd. In the target pic below, I used a red Sharpie for the inner circle, but I usually just black all of them out now, leaving only the red aiming center. These should be great at 300 yd as is, and can be re-used several times by covering the holes with the black/red pasters. They're not cheap, but re-use helps cut the cost somewhat.

That is a great idea! My son and I were just using these at 400 and I was thinking, the numbers made it hard to see the holes.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
Can a guy use black spray paint on the shoot n c and still have it function as normal?
I use the targets with the diamonds and there is just way too many green lines, it washes things out at longer ranges, the marker takes too long for me.
So would paint work

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
I've tried paint and it does not "splatter". Should work fine to darken the lines but a Sharpie would do that with more precision.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
FWIW - Birchwood Casey is now making white/black versions of their splatter targets, which are supposed to be even higher contrast for long distance visibility. See link:

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
I have shot not as far as some of you guys but last time we shot 400, the green/black were much easier to see than the white/black.
The green neon showed up much better (for me) in the scope.
The all white may be better, Would have try it.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
If you look at the video in the link, the amount of black that shows up around the bullet hole is huge. Maybe even too much, such that it could actually mask additional hits very close to the first. However, spotting them at distance shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Shoot N C f-class targets?
The best is the poster board from walmart/target in either florescent green or pink, about 70 cents each, with 2 or 3" target dots stuck on them. Midway sells white target dots from caldwell. I can see .30 holes easily at 500. .223 is a little harder to make out but still can see them.
