Paper, cardboard, or steel? There are a few options out there when it comes to choosing the right material for your shooting targets. Although there are pros and cons to each, the one that seems to get the least amount of attention is cardboard.
Why Use Cardboard Shooting Targets?
Like paper targets, cardboard allows you to permanently track hits and scoring. This is obviously useful during competitions, or if you want to see your progress improve over time. Although cardboard is not reusable, once it has been shot up, it’s still much cheaper than metal, so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank each time you need a replacement.
Another added perk to using cardboard is its sturdiness. Though not as durable as metal, cardboard is stronger than paper. So, if you're training outdoors and the wind picks up, this is especially helpful and will allow you to continue without waiting for the weather forecast to clear.
Okay, you get it! There's a lot of advantages to using cardboard targets. But here's another one you might like! If you prefer the versatility of paper targets—such as overlays, silhouettes, DOTS, etc.—you can give them more support and protection with cardboard backers.
