I mentioned that I practice using life size images printed on white craft paper. Here are some you can print. Save the image, then print it full page 8.5" X 11"

Thanks for sharing...life size photo-targets are good practice.
I downloaded this style from a free web site a few years ago.
Yours on a limb are even more realistic.

There are stock internet photos that I used Photoshop to crop and adjust to size. ODNR web fox squirrel page states, "The head and body length is from 23 to 30 cm (9.1 to 12 in), the tail from 19 to 25 cm (7.5 to 9.8 in)"

After editing in Photoshop, I imported the pics to my CAD program to dimension the body size within the ODNR limits.

NICE GROUP!!! What rifle is in your pic? I am using a Crockett in .32.
 
Thanks for the targets. I'll add them to my squirrel targets. I also have a couple that are scaled to reproduce the apparent size at different distances, so the target can be placed at 20 yards but from the shooting bench the squirrel is the size it would be at 40 yards.

Great idea, can you send me a body measurement of the target and I can scale the ones I posted to simulate 40 yards. Head to butt for body length tail not included. Or post one I can print actual size and then I can import it to scale mine.
