Jim, what are you making the targets out of? Paper I hear you all cry. I cannot find a suitable paper that will leave a nice clean hole when used with an Umarex. Match air pistols leave nice clean holes, Umarex seem to leave jagged tears and this had led to disagreements over the scoring! The best thing I have found is some very thin corregated cardboard. Even conventional target cards of the type used for 10 metre doesn't seem to do very well. I could do with some advice on what type of paper or card to use. Anyone got some brilliant ideas? My apologies if this has already been covered somewhere else.

Just occurred to me that maybe I'm not using the right pellets. I'm currently using RWS R10 7.2 gr which is what I use in my Steyr. What pellets give nice clean holes?

Geco's to some extent.
I use all sorts but I back the paper with card. Not superb but it works better than nowt
I found scoring to be very easy with Gamo lead balls as the oxidised lead left nice black marks

Napoleon, I print my targets out on plain paper, but I like to attach them to stiff cardboard, such as cardboard packing boxes.
If you can print the target image directly onto thin cardboard, that would be a lot better, for sure!

My H&W wadcutters make nice holes, but I find that there are still tears and jagged edges that come from the softness and lack of stiffness of the paper itself, and the way the paper is attached to the backing: if it isn't perfectly flat and smooth, you will get tears.
A problem I have that contributes to this is that my target backing is a softer material designed to "absorb" arrows.

I think some of the problem is we're using low velocity air weapons. If we had higher fps then we'd have a cleaner cut hole.
Like many on here, I print mine of onto A4 paper and tape it to a cardboard box

And use a suitable back stop

But something's wrong with your target, Phil, there's a single big hole in the center of it!

Ah Ha, if it hadn't been for that 'fly-er' at 5o'clock just scoring a 7 I might have been pleased with it.
But, what's done is done.
Gonna find that big stick again and give myself a good beating with it.
Good luck, Phil

I think a corrugated cardboard backer seems favourite. I get up to 16 people turning up for the Umarex comps. I'm going to need a lot of cardboard. Has anyone chronographed an Umarex? My Steyr LP5 cuts beautiful holes at a muzzle velocity of about 480fps.

I think the Umarex go between 350 ans 400fps.
More with a trailing wind
