Duck Target For Pattern Testing

Notchy Bob said:

I thought the question was interesting so I Googled “duck target” and got a bunch of hits. Some ( maybe most) were irrelevant but Ballistic Products has flying duck patterning targets. They are big, like 40” x 38”, but they have rings pre-printed for counting pellets, and they are on sale right now.

Just Google “duck target” and scroll through until you find the Ballistic Products link.

Best regards,

Most modern printers have a 'Poster' mode printing ability.
You have to look in the print set up settings for it.
I have made many targets using it (jackalope, stacked barrels, etc).
You just tell the printer how many sheets you want the image printed on (2, 4, 6...) and check to box for alignment (? Wording may differ) marks.
Once printed just assemble the 'jig saw puzzle' and tape together with clear packing tape.

Now if you have basic image handling skills you can make very precise sized targets of many different critters and objects, add bullseye, rings, cross hairs then print to your desired size. If you don't have Photoshop then Gimp is free and has virtually all the same functions.
