Free Printable Handgun TargetsBelow are zipper, diagnostic, center-of-mass, and "called number" targets that may help improve the quality of your pistol/handgun range time. Both can be printed at home on standard size paper. Click on a target picture below to get the PDF now, or scroll down for more details.
"Zipper" TargetsThese targets help you practice the "zipper" technique (taught by John Farnam of Defense Training International) where you place your first shot in the low center-of-mass area, and then work up the torso as illustrated in this diagrams. The three-shot target is designed for higher capacity handguns or those who carry spare magazines. The two-shot target is designed for lower capacity semi-automatics and revolvers.
These targets are printed on three pieces of standard 8.5" x 11" of paper. Tape or staple the three pages together or onto the target backer as shown here, and you've got an inexpensive, full size target that is perfect for zipper training. Hint: When printing, select "Page Scaling:
None". The targets are designed to minimize ink usage so the mannequin is omitted from the printable target. You will need the Adobe PDF Reader to print these targets. Shot Diagnostic Target (Left and Right)
Here is a downloadable shot diagnostic target you can print and take to the range. If you know other's can shoot your handgun correctly (i.e. the sights are aligned), then this target can be used to help you understand how you can improve your groups. This PDF download has two pages: One for right-handed shooters and one for left-handed shooters. Be sure you are using the correct page for your strong-side hand. Just one note of caution: This diagnostic target is not the 'end-all' in correcting bad shooting technique. In fact, it can sometimes provide misleading guidance. Check with a certified instructor who can provide you with more accurate and detailed information on improving your shooting techniques. If you're along the front range or in Summit County, Colorado, feel free to and an instructor may be available to meet you at the range free of charge. Shot Diagnostic Wallet Card
You can use the laminator pouches available at office supply stores to protect these cards.
