Although AccurateShooter.com is primarily focused on rifle disciplines, we know most of our regular readers own handguns. Shooting pistols indoors and outdoors is a lot of fun. Handguns can be difficult to shoot due to the short range and rapid recoil. We love shooting semi-auto pistols and revolvers at distances of 25 feet to 50 meters. These are some fun targets that you can download and print free. These targets should be a challenge for your next handgun session.
1. Patriotic Stars with Three Score Values
The NSSF created this fun Patriotic Stars Target for National Shooting Sports Month. You should aim for the stars. The red stars have a value of 3 points, while the blue stars have a value of 5 points and the smallest white stars have a value of 10 points. For added fun, aim for the one-color stars and hit the center red, blue, and white star. This target can also be used with rifles at greater ranges.
2. Red Center Pistol Target
This is a NRA-type target that can be used for pistol shooting. Because well-placed bullet holes are more visible indoors, the bright red center is a great help. This target has data entry boxes that can be used to record gun type, score, load data, and more. Targets4free.com offers many great free targets, including the Red Center Target.
3. NSSF Billiards Table Target
This Billiards Table Target features 15 brightly colored numbered balls with the cue at the bottom. Shoot 1-15 consecutively, or alternate between solids and stripes to aim for the numbers. You can also draw an X on the white cueball (or attach a paster), and use that to set your Zero. This target is great for shooting outdoors at 50-100 yards with rifles or indoors with pistols.
4. Tic-Tac-Toe Fun Game Target
This Tic-Tac-Toe Shooting Game Target allows you to challenge your shooting buddies at a range. One player can shoot the red triangles while the other shoots in the white areas. Both players take turns. The game is similar to a Tic-Tac Toe game. You alternate shots and aim to get three of the same color. This game is great for both parents and children. Targets4free.com has many other fun targets.
5. NRA Dartboard Target With Five Bullseyes
There are many dartboard-style targets, but this one has five notable black bullseye targeting points. This makes the NRA Dartboard Target great for handgun shooting. NOTE: To get the best results using 8.5×11” paper, you will need to set the PDF target file to print in landscape mode (horizontal).
