I just had a bunch of targets printed on card stock. I like how clean the holes are...even though they aren’t always where I want them to be! This shooting was at 40 yards with my Theoben .20 and my FXCrown .25, and today the crown out preformed the Theoben. I’m used to shooting groups on rusty steel sheets where you just move to a clear spot if you blow a five shot group. Just too easy to start over and forget the crappy shots and remember only the good ones. But this damn paper shooting is definitely humbling...all my errant shots just sit there reminding me that I’m not as good a shot as I think! Humbling but really fun too. And I really like the clean holes in the paper. 
Good target paper

In my basement I shoot Edelman paper targets. They are incredible. Olympic quality and support airgun dealers.

I shoot white paper with a red dot for aiming point. I do not like any black on the paper because it hides a pellet hole. I do not shoot out my aiming point. Making sure the paper is tightly stapled to the backer or use sturdy paper so the pellet does not tear the paper.

I print my targets on inkjet photo paper. It's inexpensive and the pellet holes are nice and clean

Some of the junk mail delivered by USPS is printed on fairly heavy stock that makes for decent targets. Always fun to shoot out all the "O"s on an insert from globe life insurance where it states "send no money now!".

I used to buy my targets because they use a special paper that doesn't tear. Then I was given 6 reams of cardstock. I bought a $35 HP printer and now print most of my targets.
I use spray glue to affix them to cardboard. It keeps them from blowing around in the wind when using my bullet trap.
I always leave a target with multiple bullseyes outside to check my zero when shooting pest birds. To keep them from deteriorating in damp conditions, I cover them with kitchen plastic wrap. Spray the adhesive on the target and roll the plastic wrap on. Fast and easy.

Hey that looks like some good shooting!
I got so much cardboard from boxes at work. I just rip them down on the table saw. 12” square for my pellet trap and 2” squares for checking scope when hunting over my bait piles.

Go around and gather up all the old political signs littering your neighborhood. Most politicians don't take them down. They make great backer board for any type of paper target, and the little steel supports work with any type corrugated material. 
. And, if there's a candidate you really don't like then don't even bother putting on a target! LOL.

Hello douger
How quiet is the impact of the pellets against the horse stall mats?
I'm shooting at 30 yards in a neighborhood that requires not calling attention to the activity
Thanks
Ed
