I set about making my own set of AQT targets, if they violate something, mods can take this down, nothing ill intended.

EDIT: Update to all the targets. I realized after printing that I had them off by a bit, and it bothered me. I also made them easy on your toner cartridge and closer to what the AQT looks like. PRINT WITHOUT SCALING, do NOT "fit to page" in printer options.

Target: AQT Morgan Shingle, St4, Just Vs VERSIO2.pdf
First is the Hardest of the Hard. A top row of just the Stage 4 size target, but just the "4" and "5" and "V" rings.
Then two rows of just the "5" and "V" ring.
Then two rows of just the "V" ring.
Last is a row of Morgan Shingles.

Target: AQT 25m TOP Ver2.pdf
Next is a true to scale AQT Top that fits on 8.5x11 paper, ignoring the white "3" ring being cut off.

Target: AQT 25m BOTTOM Ver2.pdf
Bottom half of the AQT, again ignoring if any white "3" ring is cut off, also fits on 8.5x11

Target: AQT Just stage 4 x12 Ver2.pdf
Yep, a set of 12 stage 4 targets.

Get shootin' y'all.

Woohoo! Another Illustrator user who can put their skills to good use. Most impressive. But you don't have a DQT. ;)
I made these for easter about 6 years ago and hope they inspire you to keep utilizing those talents.

Is hitting the hat or wings a de-duck-tion?

The DQT is also my answer for ranges that are extremely picky about not shooting "human" silhouettes. It's clearly a duck silhouette...see?

Awesome creativity! :bow:

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"

First is the Hardest of the Hard. It's a set of three things: JUST the innermost "V" ring of the final stage (x8), a trio of final stage AQT, and a set of 4 Morgan shingles.  All made in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a PDF, all fit on 8.5x11 paper with a background 1" grid.

Is there a particular way you recommend shooting this target? Round count? Time?

Looks cool! Great work!

308!!  OMG!!!  This is AWESOME!   :bow:

I lack the chops to create it myself, but your fantastic DQT  (which I GUARANTEE YOU I will be using at a future event) gave me a thought about doing one with flowers or something girly for Ladyseeds.

I am Shameless stealing the DQT
Great job Dwight.

To my chagrin, when holding up my AQT targets to my most recent AQT, I'm off by small fractions of an inch, I have to verify with another printer, recheck scaling, etc.

If there are changes, I will post them.

I have no suggestion on how to shoot these, I just wanted to have the hardest shots of a 2-day AQT to practice on. Aim small, hit small.

Aim small miss small indeed. That's basically how I finally managed to shoot score, by raising the bar even higher. I would practice standing on stage 2 targets, seated on stage 3, and rapid fire on stage 4.

Spent 6 hours with my new digital calipers and Illustrator to make these much more accurate, easier on your toner cartridge, and better orientation.
