Yesterday I printed and photocopied 500 sheets of those 15 targets with rings measuring 6mm, 11.5mm, 17.5mm and the outer ring 24mm.....hope we`ll be using those.  Anyways, even if we decide on another target.....I can always use them for target practice.
Gamo: Expotec .177 + Big Cat .177 + Viper .177 + Whisper .177, Hammerli Titan .177, Diana model 24 .177, RWS-Diana P5 Magnum pistol .177, Crosman: G1 Extreme .177 + Storm XT .177 + Sierra Pro .177 + 1377 pistol .177, Air Arms S410SL .22, BSA Scorpion T10 .22, FX Cyclone .177, Remington Air Master 77 .177 + BB\'s,

careful of the copier

Careful of both the copier and your printer.
I've had printers and copiers that did not print/copy evenly on the H and V axis.  The ring was a slightly squashed circle, not a true round circle.
I discovered this by accident when I printed on a clear plastic and rotated it 90 degrees and found that the rings did not match the target.

After you print or copy, measure the diameter on the H and V axis and compare.
If they match or are close, you are good.
If they are significantly off...find another printer/copier to use.

I agree. I've killed lots of paper. Plain white paper, with only a dot drawn on it for a focus point. Just measure how far from the dot your pellet hits. Closest wins.
