Always know what your target is when sighting in your rifle.

Dollar store 8" paper plates for me as well. And I mark 'em with 2" blue masking tape cut to make a 2"x2" square. For precision pistol work, I use the 1" blue tape cut into...wait for it...1" squares. Easy and cheap....Rod

Was shooting at our old range when my buddy said don't shoot. Seems the target stand grew 4 more legs. Seems a cow wandered down range and was right behind the backer board. They were so accustomed to gun fire it didn't faze them. Chased the cow back where it belonged. One was actually standing on the train tracks and refused to move when the driver blowing his horn.

We have an issue like that with deer at the range I infest. I was there today and one was feeding right next to the road to the benchrest range. It didn't even look up when I passed within 15 feet of it.
Often they will walk out in front of the target berms while we are shooting the targets next to them.
We have to call a cease fire and run them off the range so we can continue. Just shooting won't bother them.
We have turkeys that do that as well.
