A Target I Can See, Please

So I took the Mosin out to the range today. I always print my own targets because I think buying them is a waste. I made something I figured I could see at 100 yards with iron sights. This one has a three inch diameter bullseye, the white area inside the red circle is six inchs diameter. The outside of the red circle is seven inches diameter.

The problem is that the thing is not easy to see for me. All the shapes just bleed together.

The photo shows one of my better groups and what the target looks like. I'm obviously not a crack shot. 100 yards with open sights is simple for some folks, but I'm just getting used to shooting that far.

So, my question is if there's a better design for a target that's easier to easy. I've heard a big black X might be easier to line up on or just a giant square. I don't know. What I do know is that I was floating all over the target because I didn't have a sharp line or something to hold on.

Let me know what you guys think.
