I assume some sort of standard size targets are used for 25, 50, and 100yds muzzleloader rifle shoots.

Does anyone know the size of the bulleyes on each of them?
 
Hey Roundball, At most line shoots and Territorials that I attend the following exist: 25 and 50 yds. 6in. target with 4in. black bulls (called 6 bull, one practice target) one shot @ each target. At 100yds. a 12in. target with 6in. black single bull, 5 shots. All of these Buffalo targets are available at N.M.L.R.A. Also many targets are Hafner animal targets with oblong center bulls.
 
Most of the shoots that I attend the 25 yd. targets are not bullseyes but small animal heads, stars, etc. about an inch in size and with some areas that if hit have a minus score. At 50 the NMLRA bull is 2 3/4" and the buffalo target ,that's usually used at 100, has a 5 3/4" bull.
For practice, an inch, 2" and 5" are good. This is all offhand from the pouch, some bring a small folding table to use.
 
Roundball, like Big John said..pretty standard with us...animal targets used only for special shoots or occasional variety..Hank
