Here is the USBR target we were using at that time, I shot this one in 2017:



Later that year, I could tell by the feedback from RFC that several shooters were struggling with simply seeing the tiny USBR bulls, even at 50 feet, and others had ranges that prohibited shooting at less than 25 yards.
