Any 4H Shooting sports enter will have stacks of official 10m targets, and you can find them elsewhere like Pyramid Air, CMP, all sorts of places.

The BSA or the NRA might have something archived. Another source to check is the American Target Company, you never know, they might be pack rats with examples of obsolete targets. One last place is the Smithsonian, but you'll have to dig through thousands of pages of fiche photos.
I would contact the owner of this site, too: http://www.virtualscoutmuseum.com/galleries.html Historical notes, including a comment about the NRA and BSA partnering in 1914: http://firearmusernetwork.com/2011/09/01/history-of-the-marksmanship-qualification-program/ |

The standard 50ft target probably hasn't changed since 1914.

Since it was an NRA official 50 foot small bore target, you would start with the NRA. A quick google search returned - Rifle Department (Smallbore, High Power & Air Gun) - [email protected])
"10 meter targets" are not 50 foot targets (50 feet = 15.24 meters) Someone at the NRA has the files on the development of the targets. A "modern" 50 foot target comes in 1 and 5 bullseye variants.   The bullseyes are the same size. I shot the type on the right at the Citadel's summer camp in 1967 in the NRA small bore program. |

The targets I shot for 50' smallbore rifle in high school (late '80's) had twelve bulls. The two center ones were for zeroing, the outer ten were for scoring.
