    Ranger 888 liked post by Mike H On thread : Why do hunters continue to be accidentally shot?

    Ranger 888 liked post by jakewire On thread : What target design and why ?
    This one, is the best 100yrd or meter target in my opinion. It has inch squares, any one with a computer and a printer can make it. It doesn't lie to you, you get what you shot. 45590
