Small-caliber ammunition (.22 caliber) fired from rifles or pistols using a rimfire priming method requires specific targets for effective practice and training. These targets, typically made of paper, are designed to clearly register hits from this low-recoil ammunition, often featuring high-contrast graphics and scoring rings. A common example includes circular targets with a central bullseye and radiating rings of decreasing point values.
Accurate marksmanship development depends on suitable training aids. Paper provides an economical and readily available medium for target practice, enabling shooters to hone their skills, improve accuracy, and understand ballistic performance. The historical use of paper targets traces back to early firearms training, providing a consistent platform for evaluating shooting proficiency. Furthermore, their affordability makes them accessible to a wide range of shooting enthusiasts, from novice to expert.
