Level up your practice sessions with instant, high-contrast feedback. The Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird® Silhouette Paper Target in 12" x 18" delivers crisp blue/orange hit indication across handgun and carbine distances, so you can diagnose aim, recoil management, and trigger control at a glance. Whether you’re running timed drills or zeroing a new optic, Dirty Bird’s signature splatter effect makes impacts pop brightly against the target—no walk-downs required.
Instant Hit Visibility: The special Dirty Bird coating creates a bright, high-contrast “halo” around bullet holes, speeding up shot calling and corrections.
Training-Focused Silhouette Layout: Human-shaped silhouette with clear scoring zones helps simulate defensive and competition scenarios without clutter.
Blue/Orange, High-Contrast Palette: Easy to see under indoor range lighting and harsh outdoor sun, improving feedback for groups and single-shot diagnostics.
12" x 18" Versatility: Sized for standard indoor lanes, home backers, and portable stands—ideal for pistol from 3–25 yards and carbine inside 50 yards.
Clean, Reliable Paper: Durable paper stock resists tearing at the edges and tapes/staples cleanly to cardboard backers.
Bulk 50-Pack Value: Stock your range bag for classes, match prep, or multi-student training days.

New shooters who learn faster with immediate, visual feedback on point of impact.
Mount Securely: Staple or tape to a cardboard backer to prevent flutter and preserve clean impact rings.
Confirm Lighting: Dirty Bird highlights are visible in most conditions; angle targets to reduce glare indoors.
Layer for Round Counts: For high-volume drills, consider double-layering on the backer to extend life and maintain sharp splash rings.
Mark Strings: Use a marker to note drill name, distance, and time on the target for training logs.
5x5 Accuracy: Five shots into the upper scoring zone at 5 yards in 5 seconds—track progress by halo placement.
Failure-to-Stop Cadence: Two to center, one to high-zone; splatter contrast makes cadence errors obvious.
Walk-Back Precision: Start at 5 yards and step back in 5-yard increments, logging group size and POI shifts.
Transition Ladders: Rapid sight shifts across zones to build visual processing and trigger consistency.
Weather Tolerant: Paper stock handles routine indoor humidity and light outdoor breeze when properly mounted.
Easy Cleanup: Dispose of used targets per range rules; keep a few “best-of” targets for training records and zero baselines.
