Making your own shoot-n-see target.
Anybody out there make there own targets for sighting in a gun. A friend of mine got a new muzzle loader last year and we were thinking about trying to make our own targets that can be seen without a spotting scope. We use the shoot n see's but they are pretty small for a new gun that is not dialed in. We were thinking about getting a large sheet of green poster board and then spray painting it black. Any ideas on something that is visible from 100 yards and is big enough to see without a spotting scope.

Ok, you wanna know how to make your own Shoot-n-See Targets Do this. Take two 12X12 pieces of parchment paper paint one Blaze orange and the other one Flat black. stack the black one on top of the orange one, where the sides match each other with both colors facing towards you and then tape the edges. place targets on black 12x12 and shoot at it. if you hit you should see a black ring and orange blaze ring where the bullet hit should be visible up to 200 yards through a shotgun scope low power. Never tried this but it seems like it would work.
