I'd like to make some full size cardboard targets for practicing but have no idea how or where to get the auto cad files printed full size. Anyone have a suggestion?

this may or may not help
I print out the BB ram using 4 11x17(tabloid paper) basically I have it quarter up with index lines and tape the 4 pieces together the Turkey take 2 and the pig I can print the body less the legs on one and the chick on one
now if you problem is you don't have autocad I can mail you hard printed copies
I have the SB and FP converted to PDF files I can e-mail them

I don't have auto cad. I'd love hard copies.

A proper size template, a stack of corrugated cardboard and a spray can of flat black is a good alternate. Just add target pasters. Of course spotting holes in paper can be troublesome. You might use a reverse tact and leave the animal body light colored and the surrounding area dark. It helps if the corrugated paper has no printing-----use the inside face. rp

That's the plan Richard. Need the print outs to make a template.

Full size animals are fine if you have the entire 200m to shoot over. Many of us do not. For those who only have ranges out to 100m you can use the FP ram at that distance. A paper ram of course. Just use your normal pig, turkey and ram settings, and your normal belly hold. Leave a good bit of open area above the ram to catch the bullet. Your group size should be proportional. rp

I am lucky. I've got plenty of room to shoot 200m, with a nice safe backdrop.
