At a range of 500yds, what size target should I be shooting at?
The range I shoot at has a 500yd range. I finally got to try it out yesterday evening after work. I'd never shot that far before, so I put up one of those life size (waist up) silhouette targets. Only had time to squeeze off 16 rounds. 15 of 16 hit the paper and 14 of the 16 hit body mass. I was very happy with the experience and the results.
What is the "official" size of a target I should be shooting at that distance?
Thanks,
