I found my 5m targets. They are printed by Beeman, BUT I don't see them listed on the Beeman web site, so I don't know if it is still available. I got mine from Straight Shooters, and they don't show it on their site either. These are simply scaled down version of the regulation 10m targets.
So the only way to get reduced range targets is to make them yourself.
Either reduce it on a copy machine by the appropriate % for the range reduction. 6m = 60% copy
or print your own using the pellant target program.

There is a whole discussion on reduced range targets.
- One is simply to scale the target to the distance. This is the easiest target to make. The problem this has is the target scales down, but the pellet hole is still the same size, so you would be scoring higher than you would on a regulation target at regulation distance.
- Reduced range target adjusted for pellet size. This gets your scores corrected for the range you are shooting. The problem is the black bull is not scaled correctly for the reduced range, as the ring associated with the outer black ring has been adjusted for scoring.
- A blend of reduced range target as adjusted for pellet size + bull is correct size. This requires the use of an additional ring, to make the black bull the correct size.
If you tell me the pellet size you are shooting (probably .177) and the range, I can compute out the appropriate ring sizes for whichever method you want to use.
