But I shoot peepsights on targets like MR31 and A23/17. I still need some black for aiming purposes so what I did was scan the targets on a flat bed scanner, import them into a jpeg editor(I use photoshop) and then select the outside of the 9 ring. Then invert the image. What I have now is a target that is white on the outside, stil has the normal aiming black and then the 9, 10 and x ring are white again. I have not found that this ffects my globe/aperature aiming at all and really helps on the seeing where I am hitting.

Buy 80# cover stock, 11″ x 17″ plain white paper ( .10 Cents a sheet by the ream), & make my own targets, based on scope magnification, distance & accuracy capability of the rifle being used. The small black diamond in the center of the dots are used for adjusting the scope parallax: they provide an excellent focusing point.
