Scaled target question.

[opngrnd]

I like to dry fire at this target:

If I were to stand at 8 yards for my dry fire practice, what would that do to my "target size"? Would it become the equivalent of 4" plates at the same distance? Simply put, I'm trying to work on my dry firing in this or a similiar format but at further distances such as 8" plate out to 50 yards for pistol and out to 100 or 200 yards for carbine. If anyone knows of better targets for that, I'm all ears.

Your target size would appear to be half. Double the distances indicated on the circles, i.e. 7 yards becomes 14 yards, 25 yards becomes 50 yards, etc. when standing 8 yards away. To simulate a 100 yard target stand 16 yards from the paper and aim at the circle with 25 printed on it.

Using this article: http://thecmp.org/making-dry-firing-targets/

At 4 yards the circles should be this size to replicate an 8 inch plate at the following ranges:

7yd = 4.57in
10yd = 3.20in
15yd = 2.13in
25yd = 1.28in
50yd = .64in
100yd = .32in
200yd = .16in

8" Plate @ 50 yards = 1.28" circle @ 8 yards.

go here and click ANGLE. http://www.1728.org/angsize.htm

Enter size and distances in INCHES ex. 8" plate... 1,800 inches = 50 yards (original distance).
CALCULATE -- write that number down.

Now click SIZE
put in the angle you just got.
put in 8 yards as INCHES 288 ( practice distance )
CALCULATE

Do that for whatever you want to simulate.
