Didn't know you were an outfitter/guide.

The paper plate target struck my fancy nearly 20 years ago. I use it for handguns, traditional muzzle loader, and my center fire rifles. If I can hit it consistently, I'm confident to whatever range I've practiced. With handguns, that's generally 50 yards, with average rifles, 300, or a bit more. With my .30-30, 200 will do. With my wonderful .25-06, I'm happy at 400 yds. Most shots though have been 300 yds or less.
