Here is the PDF targets I've found on these forums. I will put them here to help consolidate them. I hope there is no problem that I've re-named them (I need the K.I.S.S. principle a little too much some of the time).
The Graycoat Target.
Redcoat Targets.
M-16A1/2 25 Meter Zero Targets
The AQT Part 1 and 2
The AQT 4 paper Stage Targets.
Three different 4 page "sets" of the AQT.
The "Appleseed QD AQT (line)" is a printer-friendly (use a lot less black ink) target, as it uses just the black outlines and not the fill.
Here is the 1-inch squares and 5/10 yd Dryfire Targets.
Thank you to all whose efforts in making these targets have been helping shooters to improve their skills with them. :)
Thanks!
J_T sent these to me, suggesting I add them to the list of targets in this thread.
Sorry for the delay.
Great idea.
I'll try some of these this weekend
So is the "Appleseed A1 25m AQT Zero W Clicks" directly translatable to the Tech Sights on a 10/22?
I think I read somewhere here that Tech sights are: 1 click = 5/8 inch at 100 yards. Front and rear are same.

This is correct.
Sorry, I dumped the .docx files since word would not format the document properly. I did the work in MS Publisher and can post those files if they are useful to anybody.
Ah. No, please don't bother on my account. BTW, I also had trouble going from docx to pdf when creating materials. I found that if I worked in .doc that I could get the files to convert properly.
Thx again!
Webdancer: It's no problem , I know everybody can deal with a .pdf format, but a .pub format would leave a lot of people out in the cold.
To everyone: Let me know if changes or adjustments could be made to improve this product.
There's a grammatical error on page 2 in the para near the bottom on the right - "the American rifleman" and "their" - which should be "his"...
If we can get this perfected, I'd like to make up 50,000 or more for free handouts, so let's polish 'em up good.
ff?
Page 1
spacing for "a rifle any rifle and this target" and should have a comma.
Page 2 at the top.
"Or your deer rile."
Is that even good form with two sentences starting with or? Not like I know.
Looking good.
Make the changes, let's get a few more critical eyes on it before mass production.
Suggestions for wording and grammar.
Top of page two: "What do you need to do an Appleseed?" This sentence reads awkwardly to me.
I'd suggest simply "What do you need to bring?"
I would replace "A 22 LR and a brick of ammo gets you on the firing line. Or, bring your old military surplus rifle. Or, your deer rile."
with
"Whether it's an old military surplus rifle, a .22 LR, or your deer rifle, you will be welcome on the firing line."
Bottom of page two: "Appleseed can teach you how see
www.appleseedinfo.org/schedule for an Appleseed near you."
Should be two sentences. "Appleseed can teach you how. See
www.appleseedinfo.org/schedule for an Appleseed near you."
Here's a few targets from other threads, Aftermath.
One is the old(?) Red Coat promo. target.
Most of these are from T191032.
AFTERMATH-
Not to be too nit-picky, but looking at the redcoat(revised).pdf, I have the following suggestions:
1st page, 3rd paragraph reads as follows:
If you can't do it, if you can't keep three out of three on each target, you need to come to an
Appleseed, and learn how to become a rifleman. Check the schedule at www.rwva.org
Suggested changes:
If you are unable to employ the traditional skills of an American Rifleman, by keeping three out of three on each target, you need to come to an Appleseed, and learn how to become a Rifleman. For an event nearest you, check the schedule at www.RWVA.org
1st page, last paragraph (under silhouette) reads, in part, as follows:
All good people, lot's of kid's (old enough to shoot) and wives/girlfriends too..
Suggested changes:
All good people, lot's of kid's (responsible enough to shoot) and wives/girlfriends too..
2nd Page, last paragraph reads, in part, as follows:
April 19, 1775 - The Day Marksmanship met History and the Tradition was born. Liberty in America began with marksmanship. Bring that tradition back to life by becoming a rifleman! The Revolutionary War Veterans Association sponsors Appleseed marksmanship training clinics around the country.
Suggested Changes:
April 19, 1775 - The Day Marksmanship met History and the Heritage began. Liberty in America was secured through marksmanship. Help honor that fine tradition, by becoming a true American Rifleman. The Revolutionary War Veterans Association can help! The RWVA sponsors rifle marksmanship and American Heritage clinics around the country, through a program called "Project Appleseed".

This one's a quote from an Appleseeder....I'm sketchy on rewording quotes...
But if someone were to produce another quote...... ::)

The changes suggested - I agree with you, Aftermath - are generally for the better.
But I don't want either of you to receive visits from the ghosts of your grammar school teachers in the middle of the night, all over that apostrophe in the plural of "kid".
You guys can thank me later - AFTER you have a good night's undisturbed sleep...
:) :) :)
QuoteYou guys can thank me later - AFTER you have a good night's undisturbed sleep...
Well, I don't think I've had one of these since Chernobyl; but thanks. O0
p.s. My grammar school teachers were afraid of me. Don't ask me why?
Alright; I got the new Redcoat here.
(It's easy enough to convert the red to grey after we get it solid)
If there are any other suggestions. Please let me know.
Once I'm finnished, I don't want to have to change it again.
At least, untill every American can clean the redcoat; and we have to change the Rifleman's quarter-mile to the Rifleman's half-mile. ;)
Looks very good to me, thanks! O0
Final changes- spelling only.
Final paragraph reads:

(removed the comma after "Liberty in America", and changed "county" to "country")
Looks great!
(I've nothing further to nitpick)
Something that may have been made clear earlier, but I missed: Are these 'redcoat/greycoat' targets intended to replace the current-issue "Hits Count!" target, or are they simply a promotional tool, something to be added to our ever-growing tool box?
Quote(I've nothing further to nitpick)
Come on.... I'm sure you can think of something. >:D
I believe just promotion.(I hope so anyway....Because the dimensions may be slightly off)
Last call for ammendments!
Here's the Final Redcoat Promotional Target. (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3710.0;attach=12225)
All in favor; say: Aye
All opposed; say: Nay
If there are no other changes; I'll convert it to grey, and post Monday.
Ok; so I compared a printed copy to the standard redcoat.
I found the 100 yard target was about a half-inch too large; and the 200yd about a quarter-inch over.
I didn't really worry about it too much; then I realized: bigger sillouette=more ink!
So I sized them closer; and of course a smidgeon of reformatting to accomodate for the new size.
I attatched it on the previous post.
AFTERMTH, any way you can come up with some standardized targets to be placed at 100 yards that simulate the 25 meter zeros for each common AS calibers?
One for .22
One for .223
One for .308
The ides is that we could put all targets at 100 yards depending on the shooters caliber for them all to able to verify BSZ.

Well, I'm sure there is a way....
But that does exceed my current knowledge as far as trajectories are concerned...
(Honestly; I haven't even set my own BSZ's yet)
How's this one looking, Fred?

While this is a great theory, all ammunition is not created equal, even among same caliber. This is why you must create a 'dope' book for different ammunition for your rifle.
For instance, I know that my hand loads for 7.62x39 impact 2.5" high at 100yds using my 25m zero. Golden Tiger @ 1.75", Wolf Black Box @ 2.25"
Now, if everyone that had an AR was using the same barrel length, twist rate, etc. and were also using the exact same ammunition, then it would be possible; with the varieties of ammunition, coupled with the varieties of barrel configurations, it would be nigh on impossible to make a one-size-fits-all target. I think the same goes for the rest of the rifles we typically see.

:sos:Is there a target download scaled for 200 yards? :)
Unfortunately, I haven't come accrosss any scaled for 200...
You could take the Stage 1 target on an AQT and have it blown up 100%.
That should double the size and simulate the 400yd target at 200yds..
Here are a few I call AQT singles. I pasted them together and scanned them.
They will each print on an 11 X 17 sheet of paper.
I like those singles!
Here are the ones I found on reddit.
This is a 4 page file that prints on 8.5 X 11 paper
My two latest efforts. Please excuse the crudeness. I made the cuts by hand for the stencil and then filled in the area, again by hand.
For the first target, these are just the V rings from the 11X17 AQT.
The second is the 5 or 10 point area from the 11X17 AQT.
I have heard the adage: aim small, miss small.
For my personal scoring use, I traced the scoring zones from the AQT on an 11X17 piece of clear plastic with a fine Sharpie. My idea is that when I use the V ring or the 5 and 10 point targets, I can overlay the plastic to see where the shots fall and have the ability to score the targets just like they are the full AQT.
I have a couple air rifles that use 10 round magazines.
I am going to use these at 12.5 meters or 42 feet as practice with my steady hold factors.
These squares are 1/2 inch so they should be about 4 MOA
Nice alternative to heading to the range to shoot. Should be a little less expensive too.
If I can print them, they are going to get hosed up a 25 yards.
You should eligible for some kind of award for saving paper!
Tell us about your air rifles please. Rifle knowledge bank would be a good place to start a new thread on the subject.
Here is an AQT scaled at 50% so it will be usable in my backyard "Appleseed" 12.5 meter or 41 foot range.
I will do my best to post something in the rifle knowledge bank for my air rifles.
They are PCP (Precompressed air) so one needs a High Pressure Air (HPA) compressor or a hand pump. It is a little expensive to get into it with the compressor but at my age, the hand pump is murder.
