Most printable rifle targets are built around inches and US Letter paper. Print one on A4 here and the grid no longer measures what it claims to. Your clicks don’t line up and your group sizes are off. We designed our own 100 m targets to fix that. They’re free to download below.
Quick facts
- What: four free printable rifle targets from Valley Pursuits.
- Distance: scaled for 100 metres.
- Paper: A4, printed at 100% / actual size.
- Units: MOA version (1 square = ¼ MOA = 7.27 mm at 100 m) and MRAD version (1 square = 0.1 MRAD = 10 mm at 100 m).
- Layouts: portrait for sighting-in and zeroing; landscape with 10 numbered aiming points for load development.
- Format: single-page PDF, free download.
Designed for sighting-in and load development at 100 m
There are two layouts, each in an MOA and an MRAD version:
- Portrait: sighting-in and zeroing. A large centre aiming diamond with four smaller corner diamonds. Fire a group on the centre, read the correction straight off the scaled grid, then dial and confirm on a fresh corner.
- Landscape: load development. Ten numbered aiming points, one for each charge weight or seating depth in a ladder or OCW test, plus a centre aiming square. A box at the top records rifle, cartridge, location, date, temperature and load notes, so each sheet keeps its own record.
What makes these different
- Metric distance. The grids are scaled for 100 metres, not 100 yards. That’s the distance most South African ranges are marked in.
- Made for A4. They’re laid out for the paper in your printer, so the scale stays true without resizing or fiddling with page settings.
- MOA and MRAD. We made a version for each turret system. On the MOA targets, one square is ¼ MOA (7.27 mm at 100 m), which equals one click on most MOA scopes. On the MRAD targets, one square is 0.1 MRAD (10 mm at 100 m), which is one click on a mil scope. Either way, you count the squares and dial that many clicks.
- Labelled scales. The centre lines are numbered in MOA or MRAD, so you can read a group’s offset or size directly with no conversion.
- High-visibility aiming points. Orange diamonds with black centres stay crisp in a high-magnification scope and show bullet holes clearly against the grid.

Printing tips
- Print at 100% / Actual size. Turn off “Fit to page” or “Shrink to fit”, or the scale will be wrong.
- Check the scale. Measure ten squares with a ruler. That’s 72.7 mm on the MOA targets and 100 mm on the MRAD targets.
- Use a backer. Staple or tape the sheet to cardboard so it stays flat and holes stay clean.
- Measure from the actual distance. The scale is only exact at 100 m, so set the target up at a measured 100 m.
Frequently asked questions
Which target should I use: MOA or MRAD?
Use the version that matches your scope turrets. If your turrets are marked in MOA (usually ¼ MOA per click), use the MOA target. If they are marked in MRAD or mils (usually 0.1 MRAD per click), use the MRAD target. One grid square equals one click on most scopes, so you can count squares and dial that many clicks.
How big is one square on the targets at 100 m?
On the MOA target, one square is ¼ MOA, which is 7.27 mm at 100 metres. On the MRAD target, one square is 0.1 MRAD, which is exactly 10 mm at 100 metres.
Why are most printable targets wrong on A4 paper?
Most free printable targets are designed in inches for US Letter paper and for 100 yards. Printing them on A4, or using them at 100 metres, changes the scale, so the grid no longer matches your scope clicks and group sizes are measured incorrectly.
How do I print the targets at the correct size?
Open the PDF and print at 100% or Actual size, with Fit to page or Shrink to fit turned off. Check the scale with a ruler: ten squares should measure 72.7 mm on the MOA target and 100 mm on the MRAD target.
Can I use these targets at distances other than 100 m?
The grid is only exact at 100 metres. At other distances the aiming points still work, but each square no longer equals one click, so corrections read off the grid will be off in proportion to the distance.
What is the landscape target used for?
The landscape target is for load development. It has ten numbered aiming points, one for each charge weight or seating depth in a ladder or OCW test, plus boxes to record the rifle, cartridge, location, date, temperature and load notes.
