When printing the target, does the black center measure 2" and the red approx 5/8"?
Just wanted to make sure this printer is behaving.

Print it full scale on 8-1/2 x 11 paper and they're correct scale.

I use a heavier bond paper to keep them flat.

Everyone who enters wins.  

You might win the bragging rights, or not, but you WILL come away rewarded by knowing you will be helping a good cause.

Take care.

I won all categories in my class last year.

Of course, I was the only one entered for it and it wasn't an official class, but I'm still proud of it  ;D ;D ;D
