A lot of the targets I see are either really cluttered or just plain difficult to see at distance.  
Sometimes I'll buy a bunch of targets only to find that I can't really make out a good point-of-aim once they're out there.  This makes it very difficult for me to shoot for groups because my aim is inconsistent/not small enough.
I also don't like shooting at circles.  Shooting at grids is best for accuracy IMO because they're easy to line up with your scope's crosshairs/stadia lines.
So I made a bunch of bold black crosses and put them over a grid of squares.  They are 30 squares by 40 squares, and if you fit these images to a standard page of paper with 0.5" margins all around, the squares are exactly 1/4 inch, so you can easily measure MOA.  I made a few of varying sizes, feel free to change them up however you like.

Seeing thin lines is better 'at distance'?
















Guess you dont use iron sites

Ya got me.  



I guess I should have mentioned that these are intended for use with scopes....

Nice work! This is why I'm such a fan of variously contrasting diamond targets. the corners line up in crosshairs easily, and they are easy to center on iron sites.



I have been going the cheap route lately and just hanging 3x5 cards with a 1" paster on it for 300 yards and in. I'm not keeping them in the paster at anything over 100 yards...need more practice - I dont get out to the range enough lately.
