DIY shot and see targets,
1) Cover paper with shelf liner or clear tape;
2) Spray paint either use up old cans or <$ Paint @ HD, Wally world or ?.
3) Allow paint to completely dry, cut to the desired size, embellish.
[NOTE] I don't recommend LOWES 99 cent paint it doesn't dry as well as the others.

I prefer paint colors other than black, (I lose my sites in a black target)
Matte finish is easier to see.
I believe you can tape the holes and pint over the tape to use the target again.
9¼” x 11” targets
I like to use a black felt marker, draw a cross the use a compass to draw circles 1 inch apart
7”x7” targets you can make a template and spray a cross on it or use a marker
7” plates I use a compass to draw circles 1 inch apart and put a smiley face sticker in the middle
Tool Bench Clear Packaging Tape, 45-yd. Rolls dollar tree $1
22x28 poster board 69 cents dollar tree
Con-Tact Quick Cover Clear Self-Adhesive Shelf Liners, 18x54" dollar tree $1
20pcs. 7” plates (1 package of 20) Dollar Tree =$1
¾” 108pcs. gold/red foil smiley face stickers Dollar Tree $1
1 can spray paint Lowes, HD, Wally-world $1
7” plates
$2.00 40 plates (two packages of 20) 2x$1 =$2 Dollar Tree
$1.00 1 can spray paint $1 Lowes, HD, Wally world
$ .80 1/5 roll packing tape Lowes $4/5 = $.8
$3.80
$ .20 marker
$4.00 /40 =$ .10 per plate
4 x $ .69 Poster Boards, 22x28" = $2.76
3 x $1.00 Shelf Liners, 18x54" = $3.00
2 x $1.00 Spray paint (8 sq ft per can) = $2
= $7.76 for 4 22x28 sheets
7”x7” targets
$7.76 / 48 = $ .16 ea
9¼” x 11” targets
$7.76 / 24 = $ .32 ea
Step 1, cover the paper with clear adhesive plastic or tape

The Plates with tape on them worked well

These holographic Sheets from Dollar tree, 20 sheets for $1 work great without any tape or plastic,
Just 1 coat of 99cent paint from home depot and presto. Only downside is they are thin sheets

Now to use what you have on hand, I taped flatted 12 pack soda boxes, painted and embellished them
and I'm very happy with the results. 2 target per box

Thanks for the links and the ideas.

Nice tutorial!
:)
I have been doing this a short time myself. center stickers included, but we use just the ones for yard/garage sale price stickers. I think I saw where you posted about making them in the "What did I do in the Reloading Room today" topic. Glad ya took the time to show it in pics for folks. I really like the shelf liner idea, & the holograph looking sheets. Gonna try that sometime if I rememeber to pick some up.
:)
I really like the idea.
:)
We just used to use plain reg. paper plates & then those little "cake" plates you mention, plus cereal & beer/soda pop boxes before & use a wide black or red permanent"magic" marker to make the bullseye & rings. Gonna have to try to find one of those white or silver ones like what it appears you have, to try that myself. Likely gonna use old lids for the rings though, until I can find a compass around here.
Great project to do with my grandboys too. They are starting to learn firearm safety & marksmanship here at our place with bb-guns. At 7 & 8 they are already pretty good shots, but the 7 yr old shines... They really like it when they can easily see where they are hitting & do not have to walk up to paper targets to do so. The storebought "spinners" are fun too, but they like to make the homemade"See-'em" targets too.
Thanks again for taking the time!
:)

BTW, This should be a "Sticky", IMO.

I've tried clear coat, I just need to find the plates I sprayed :groner:
once you get your system down the tape goes pretty quick.
When I find the one I sprayed with clear I will post them
Made up a batch with 2 types of sprayed clear coat I had lying around
will post results when my back and weather cooperate and I can go put holes n them.

9 printable targets,
Print Full Size on 8.5x11" Paper
Page 2 - 1/3 Size IPSC Competition Target
Perfect for printing out and taping on your walls for dry-fire practice. 1/3 Size to mimic
farther distances.
Page 3 - 1/4 Size IPSC Competition Target
Smaller-sized IPSC torso target to simulate even farther distances. Page 3
Page 4 - Dot Torture Test
The best training you can get in 50 rounds. Start at 3 yards and keep all the shots in the
circle targets. If your range doesn't allow draws, start with your pistol on the table or at low
ready.
Page 5 - Bill Drill
Start at 7 yards and shoot 6 shots as fast as you can into the 6x11 target. This drill is meant
to work on speed without sacrificing accuracy. Move the target back to make it more difficult.
Page 6 - Walk Back Drill
Place at 3 yards and shoot 5 rounds at each target. This simulates 3x5 cards placed at 3
yards, 5 yards, and 7 yards. Work on accuracy instead of brute speed.
Page 7 - 5x5 Drill
5 shots, 5 inches, 5 yards, 5 seconds, and do 5 times. Perfect score is 25/25.
Page 8 - Red Dot 25 Yard Zero
Simulates a 50 yard zero but taken at 25 yards to make it easier for 1x optics such as red
dots. Line up with the colored bullseye so that the bullet impacts the gray bullseye.
Calibrated for M193 5.56 cartridge dropoff.
Page 9-10 - 100 Yard Rifle Targets
Two versions for both MRAD and MOA scopes to help you zero your sights.

Tape and shelf liner - good results. results can vary by paint type and how heavy you apply it

Thank you for all the work you've done to put this thread together. I also think it should be a sticky. I gave it a 5 star.

Copy of S_anatarget (1)-- Grid Sight-In Target - 1" graduations make sight-in quick and easy.
Copy of S_GridTarget.-- Analysis target - target is sectioned into zones to analyze typical shooting grip and release problems. Of course, if you're grouping well, your sights could be off.
Copy of S_anatarget.-- Analysis target for southpaws - left-handed version of the above target.
Copy of pistoltarget.-- Pistol target - standard pistol target, similar to NRA B2.
Copy of idpamini.-- IDPA target - Mini version of the defensive pistol popper targets. Try Mozambiquing this little guy. ;-)

I guess I am a little dense, but I am having problems following those instructions, seem to be several different ones ran together. Tell me if I am getting this straight:
You choose a backing paper the color you like, then coat it with some sort of sticky paper or tape, then spray paint a color other than the backing?
Do you have to use sticky paper/tape over the backing or could you just glue a different color sheet on top and omit the paint?
Thanks,
Rosewood

Yes! to the bolded question. That is how it is done.
:)
The OP, Grmps, is currently, "unavailable" to comment, so I will give it a try as I have been using these for some time now.
You have to use the "sticky" layer( I use tape currently)& not another piece of poster board because it is the impact of the projectile that "tears" the painted tape when it makes a hole & the paint flakes off around the hole to show the background colored poster board to see the impact point.
Using just another layer of poster board would likely only show you the hole in the front poster board, and perhaps just a bit of the back one, since there is no paint to flake & you would be basically just punching holes in a thicker" target. That paint layer is held on to the "sticky" tape/sheet, but does not adhere to it like it would if you painted the porous paper, so it readily "flakes" around the point of impact showing the backing poster board color thru the now "cleared of paint" tape in a generally circular shape unless you have a tumbling projectile.
Examples from a couple posts back on the results:

Left side in this one is a very good example of what is happening as well:

I hope that answers your question(s).
:)
Of course, you can certainly try out using two different colored sheets, but I am pretty sure you will want to use the colored sheet, sticky tape/sheet & paint layer method. It really does work well, IMO.
G'Luck!
