White/Black Shoot-N-C Targets for Long Range Practice
Here’s a unique product that may be useful for practice sessions at 400 yards and beyond. Birchwood Casey now offers high-contrast, White/Black versions of its popular Shoot-N-C targets. There are four types of Shoot-N-C White/Black targets: 8″ Bulls-Eye X (#34802), 12″ Bulls-Eye X (#34019), and 12″ multi-diamond target (#34219), and 12″ x 18″ silhouette (#34615).
On all White/Black Shoot-N-C target types, the target background is all-white, and a large black “halo” or circle appears around each bullet hole. This makes the bullet impact much easier to see at long range. Normally it is very difficult to see 6mm (and smaller) bullet holes past 500 yards or so, unless conditions are absolutely perfect. At 800 or 1000 yards it can be nearly impossible to see even 30-caliber bullet holes in conventional paper targets. With these new white/black Shoot-N-C targets the large black ring surrounding each hit can be seen fairly easily, even at extreme ranges. NOTE: These targets work great with a target-cam — even if you have a monochrome monitor.
While you can certainly use the smaller black Shoot-N-C targets that produce a yellow “halo” when hit, we like these big bulls because they have a large enough background to show bullet impact even when you’re not quite “dialed in” at 500 yards and beyond. Also, when the mirage is thick, the black on white offers very high contrast. These white-background Shoot-N-C targets also work well in early morning, low-light conditions.

As priced on Brownell’s website, 6-target packs of the 8″ bulls cost $4.99, 5-target packs of the 12″ bulls cost $7.99. All three target types can also be bulk-ordered in multiples of 100. All these targets come with plenty of extra white pasters for extended target life. Birchwood-Casey says that these white/black targets also work great for indoor shooting. Other White/Black target packs are available from Birchwood Casey on Amazon.com. They are more expensive, but the shipping is free. |

Great idea but unfortunately they don’t come with a 10″ bull and 5″ X for Fclass practice, which would be more useful to me and many other Fclass shooters I sespect.

Sounds like a great product. I’ll bet that BC would respond to a request for an F-Class version if there was enough demand.
Good concept, I may get a few. Actually I made a few about 2 months ago with black construction paper, strapping tape, and white paint. They worked very well.
I get the black construction paper and white paint but how is the strapping tape used?
@George,
The tape is applied to the construction paper and then the white paint is sprayed onto the surface of the tape. When a bullet strikes the target, it will punch a hole clean through the target, but the paint will flake off around the bullet hole, leaving a high contrast black ring around the holes in the white target. It works well with many different color combinations. Personally I use Hi-Vis green card stock with black paint, and it is visible from pretty far away.
