For more years than I can remember I have been using 9 inch paper plates for targets. The coated ones are the best because bullets cut a clean hole, almost like a semi wad cutter. I used to use the blaze orange stickers on them but have found out that due to the mirage effect, just putting a round dot or a cross with a black majic marker works better. These targets are cheap, you can stack them, they are easy to lay out on a table to study, they fit in a 1 gal zip loc bag. When you sell the weapon the targets go with it so the new owner knows exactly what you have tried , what works and what does not. The book I keep records of my shoots in ,I have found that I do not always draw the groups exactly right so by keeping these in labeled zip loc bags, I can go back at times and double check. 2 cents from a newby

I also use these as targets. The only thing I could suggest as an improvement is to Place a "T" to indicate top and then have that "T" up when you fire.

i use 2 of them stacked with a pin in the middle & draw a 1" circle on it in the middle for sighting in......after a few shots i spin the top one & now you have a new target because you just missaligned the bullet holes in the 2 plates.....so you always have a new target everytime you spin the top plate an inch...

Pizza cardboards make good targets too. I used a hawken can to draw the center circle or the inside of a roll of duct tape.
