Paper-based designs created for use in airgun practice are often termed “targets.” These are designed to provide a visual aid for individuals practicing marksmanship with BB guns or other low-powered airguns. Targets typically feature concentric rings or other scoring zones, allowing the shooter to assess accuracy and track progress. Examples include downloadable templates that can be printed on standard-sized paper.
The use of easily accessible practice aids offers several advantages. It allows for convenient and affordable training in various environments, contributing to improved skill development and responsible gun ownership. Historically, improvised targets were commonly used. However, the availability of standardized, downloadable designs provides a consistent and measurable means of evaluating shooting performance.
The remainder of this discussion will explore the different types of downloadable designs available, factors to consider when selecting an appropriate design, safety precautions for airgun practice, and methods for tracking shooting progress using readily available resources.
