With more shooters wanting to shoot at even longer ranges, I have prepared targets to be used from 200-400 yards.... They are now available as .pdf files at the bottom of the rules page: https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=100865.0 (https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=100865.0)
These can be printed on 17" x 22" paper if you have a large format printer, or on four sheets of 8.5" x 11" paper (2 high and 2 wide) on most printers by using the "Poster" format and then taping the pages together before shooting.... Make sure you measure the 4 MOA ring, which would be 8" for 200 yards, 12" for 300 yards, or 16" for 400 yards.... If you are shooting at other ranges, you can scale them using your printer to the appropriate size for your range.... For example, shooting at 300 metres you would adjust your printer to print the 4 MOA ring at (39.37 / 36) x 3 x 4 = 13.12"....
If you want to shoot further than 400 yards, you can print the target even larger, using 9 (or even 16 or 25) sheets in your "Poster" setup.... Using 9 sheets (3 wide and 3 high) you can print up to 25.5" x 33".... Shooting at 500 metres would require a 4 MOA circle of (39.37/ 36) x 5 x 4 = 21.87"....

It's not easy on my computer/printer system to print and tile so many sheets to make one large target. Looking at what targets are available in the correct size. What about accepting official 300yd, 500yd, and 600yd F-class targets, all shot at their appropriate distances (300, 500, and 600yds). Like this Long Range Club, they use "shooter's moa" or inches for the rings (rather than actual moa). They are cheaper than getting custom printed targets and a lot easier than trying to print up such large targets at home.
10 ring = 1moa
9 ring = 2moa
8 ring = 3moa
7ring = 4moa
