      Spray the outside edge
      Spray the cut lines in the stencil

        The metric target is off. The head box on an IPSC target is 6x6 inches with the A zone being 2x4.

        The A zone in the body should be 6x11, but clearly it's not. Interesting idea but poor execution.

          Too much work. Prepare rectangle cardboards, get the stencil, get the spray paint, etc.

          I will just get Alco targets for $0.80/pc and be done with it...

            I guess one can take an IPSIC cardboard target and a utility knife and make your own stencil too.

            Or 1/4" plywood and a router to make a variety of stencils.

              I grab several used targets after matches when I need some. I'll use them and then I put up some USPSA paper targets that are cheaper then buying cardboard. For some drills I have the bullseye center replacement targets.

                  Get a standard target and cut out the A zone. Use your rattle can just around the outside edges and the around the rim of the cut out. Or you can use a marker. Another option is to just trace or spray around a 6” by 11” rectangle.

                  The stencil giving the whole target is nice, but, in reality, only the A zone is your real target.
