American Target Company is an excellent source for targets.

If you are training for a real life encounter, the target has to be torso shaped - it's a rule.
I use these guys, every once and a while they have blems/non-competition certified targets on special: https://www.targetbarn.com/ They are also the go to for pasters.
Another good source is Qualification Targets they have one of the wider selections, including bullseye, state qual targets as well as friend/foe, etc. https://www.targets.net/

Seriously guys?
Don't make me have to show you how to create a IDPA target from a grocery sack.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

For most anything precision, work has a nice copy machine. Found some nice 1/2" and 1" red squares on line, think free targets or whatever. The other places like Target Barn and Pistoleer work for a nice selection.

Since I was introduced to shooting when I was young via old fashioned NRA Bullseye, I have always used targets from that (I’m only 44) When I got into non precision pistol shooting I settled on the B-6 which has a 5 1/2” bullseye area. I either print them from a free internet file or cut one down to 8.5 x 11”. and make photocopies. I don’t think I have actually payed for targets in years. The black area is also roughly the same size as an IDPA -0 zone. I shook mostly at a gun club that is heavily into IDPA so most use those cardboard targets and replace the centers or tape misses.
I like the smaller black area as I am a HUGE believer in “aim small miss small”. Large targets areas are, IMO, why even most people, even those highly trained in firearms (far more than myself), are terrible shots.
For rifle I use the larger 50 yard pistol NRA Bullseye target repair center.

A couple of years ago I snagged a bunch of alt C targets when we were doing M4 qualifications, I think I have two or three left, should have grabbed more when we qualed a few weeks ago.

I made a template from a Yavapai Firearms Academy target (silhouette with chest, T, and pelvic zones) and figured out it drops on to the rolls of kraft paper used for house painting. Just outline a few with a sharpie and go.

I scanned a B-8 repair center onto an 8.5x11 piece of paper, then print out copies. Keep everything in the black.
Done.

These are some of my favorite printouts. They seriously helped my shooting when I transitioned to an RDS pistol:
