Creating Your Own Airsoft Targets

Firing at tin cans can only keep you occupied for so long. Boredom can set in. Eventually most airsoft owners will upgrade to a proper target system. There are two choices there - the sticky target which your airsoft bbs stick to. The other option is the "catcher" style of target which features a net to gather up your bbs at the end of a target shooting session. But what about some printable targets? It'd be nice to add some variety to your shooting sessions and having a range of targets you can print out would add to your fun no doubt?

So how do you go about creating your own printable airsoft targets? First you're going to need some images to work with. You have lots of choices here. You can look online for free clipart images of bullseye targets, silhouettes of animals or people and other typical images that you might see on shooting ranges. Yet another option is to scan a photograph of somebody you don't like very much - maybe a boss, ex-boss or maybe just an ex of yours full stop. Now take that image and import it into your word-processor or graphics program and strech it to A4/letter size and print it out. You now have a small practice target to take your frustration out on.

Now for some people an A4 sheet of paper isn't big enough to aim at over any kind of distance. If you find you have this problem then simply take your printed target to the local copy or office supply store and have it enlarged to A3 or larger size there. It doesn't cost very much to do this.
So when you do get bored of shooting soda cans and want to try something different then why not try creating your own printable airsoft targets instead. It really isn't that hard and it's a lot cheaper than buying pre-printed targets in any sports store.
