Black paper targets with neon imprint.
Because I shoot all over the place, I'm finding it it difficult to see where my shot actually hit. I'm guessing this is normal for a new shooter?
Typically I've used black silhouette targets with a 10 in the middle. I typically hit left of the 10 mark. But after the first few mags, I can't tell where I'm hitting. There's something about finding the white hole on a black target that I find hard to pick up. Or maybe it's just that the hole appeared in an area I'm not looing. Yesterday, the guy in the booth next to me gave me a small black bullseye target. When I shot this target, the hole left a neon yellow impression just outside of the white mark where the bullet tore the black paper. Wow, I could actually see much better as to what and where I was hitting. Even though the actual target was much smaller than the silhouette. What is the name of this type of target? Secondly, does anyone make a similar silhouette target that leaves a neon imprint? |

OK, I think I just found what I was describing....Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C® Targets
I guess I'm not the first person to find that these are easier to see where you've hit? |

They are also motivational. The more accurate you are, the smaller target you can use....price per target goes way down with smaller targets!

There is a cheaper alternative to Birchwood Casey, I can't recall the name but I have a stack of them somewhere.
If you "shoot all over the place" you need to practice with a smaller caliber! Buy a .22LR and shoot that instead or a double action revolver (Model 10, 19, 66, etc) and practice until you are smooth both single and double action. Dry fire with a laser will help a lot too. What gun do you have now? How is the trigger? Smooth or gritty? |
