98 gsm . this is the weight of the ones i use at home though, and not the ones used at the club for comp..
Does anyone know the gsm rating of the average card target?Thinking of making some,ordinary paper tends to tear quite easily.

I think the fibre length is more important than the GSM.
"Perfect" holes are formed much better in a short fibred stock board, than a standard one.
Sourcing a short fibre board, at a reasonable price, is the difficult part.

I now have so many airguns I've had to make a list, which is >>HERE<<

We use existing commercial targets for all our club competitions to gain the benefit from those that done the work and solved all the target card related problems for us already.
Likewise with the MPL and CCL competitions - even though it would be nice sometimes to have our own custom targets.
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
We are low on our standard ISSF targets at the moment and have bought in some slightly cheaper one to see us through until the new stock arrives. There is a noticeable drop off in clean hole punching ability on there as you move down from air rifle to full power pistol and then lower power pistol. Bisley practice pellets at 2 1/2 fpe tend to roll their way through the target rather than cutting holes.
Some good prices and excellent quality from Krueger (spelt with a u and umlaut) targets, they will deal on line and supply direct, have a look on their website.
