Thread: What target design and why ?

Please share what design you currently prefer for range shooting paper ?

How does it work to aid precise reticle alignment ? What else has been tried in the past and discarded - and why ?


To kick things off: the current preference here...




When sized correctly a duplex reticle breaks the target into 4, squares being good. Allows placement of the reticle (black) over a white aiming point, and I find it slightly easier to tell the difference between squares and rectangles than matching the size of four sectors when using an equivalent circle. Disadvantage: hard to see shots in the black from a distance, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well for me if the outer square is thinned down to fix this. For conventional crosshairs only.
