Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Bull's-Eye Reactive Targets – 5 Pack
Make your shots easier to see with the Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Bull's-Eye Reactive Targets. Whether you're confirming a rifle's zero, testing a new ammunition load, patterning a shotgun, or preparing a muzzleloader for hunting season, these targets provide clear, high-contrast feedback without requiring a trip downrange after every group.
The familiar black bull's-eye design uses Birchwood Casey's Shoot-N-C reactive technology to reveal bright chartreuse rings around bullet impacts. When a projectile strikes the target, the contrasting ring makes the hit stand out against the dark surface. This is especially useful when evaluating groups at distances where conventional paper bullet holes can be difficult to distinguish.
A Larger Target for More Versatile Shooting
With a full 12-inch round target surface, these Shoot-N-C targets provide a generous aiming area for rifle and handgun practice while also accommodating larger shot patterns and point-of-impact evaluation. Birchwood Casey specifically recommends the larger format for long-range rifle shooting at 200 yards and beyond, muzzleloaders, shotgun slugs, and shotgun patterning.
Unlike a dedicated sight-in grid target, the traditional bull's-eye layout offers a clean, uncomplicated aiming reference. That makes it particularly useful for shooters who prefer a recognizable center aiming point when practicing fundamentals, evaluating group placement, or confirming that a firearm remains properly zeroed.
Repair Pasters Help Each Target Last Longer
Each target sheet includes self-adhesive repair pasters that can be applied over previous bullet holes. This allows shooters to continue using a target after completing a group, giving them a fresh visual reference without replacing the entire sheet.
The targets themselves also feature self-adhesive backing, eliminating the need for separate tape or staples when mounting them to a suitable, clean target backer. Peel, position, and press the target in place for a simple range setup.
Useful at the Rifle Range, Shotgun Range, and Hunting Camp
These reactive bull's-eye targets are equally useful for routine practice and deliberate pre-season preparation. Confirm the point of impact on a hunting rifle, compare ammunition performance, check shotgun slug placement, or evaluate muzzleloader groups with a target that makes results easier to interpret.
The five-target package is a practical choice for individual range trips, hunting-season preparation, or shooters who want the convenience of reactive targets without purchasing a large bulk quantity.

Choosing and Using Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Bull's-Eye Targets
Traditional Bull's-Eye vs. Sight-In Grid Targets
The Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Bull's-Eye is designed around a familiar round aiming reference rather than a numbered measurement grid. That makes it useful for general marksmanship practice, evaluating groups, confirming point of impact, and shooting disciplines that benefit from a clearly defined central aiming point.
For shooters who need measured horizontal and vertical references when adjusting a rifle scope, the Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Sight-In Targets offer five aiming points and a numbered 1-inch grid.
Why Choose a 12-Inch Target?
A larger target provides more surface area for observing shot groups, checking point-of-impact changes, and accommodating firearms or ammunition that produce wider patterns. Birchwood Casey identifies the 12-inch Bull's-Eye as particularly useful for long-range rifle shooting at 200 yards and beyond, muzzleloaders, shotgun slugs, and shotgun patterning.
For shotshell patterning, a 12-inch target can provide a convenient central aiming reference, although a larger backing surface may be necessary to evaluate the complete pattern. Traditional full-pattern evaluation generally requires a substantially larger target area.
How Shoot-N-C Reactive Targets Work
When a bullet passes through the Shoot-N-C target surface, the reactive coating exposes a bright chartreuse ring around the impact. The contrast makes bullet holes easier to identify against the black background compared with conventional uncoated paper targets.
Actual visibility depends on the shooting distance, lighting conditions, caliber, eyesight, and any optics used to view the target. At longer distances, a spotting scope or target camera may still be beneficial.
Extend Target Life With Repair Pasters
After completing a shot group, use the included adhesive repair pasters to cover previously recorded impacts. This makes it easier to distinguish subsequent hits and continue practicing without replacing the entire target sheet.
Repair pasters are especially useful for repeated shooting at the same aiming point, ammunition comparisons, or range sessions where replacing targets frequently would interrupt shooting.
Rifle Zero Confirmation and Ammunition Testing
The traditional Bull's-Eye layout is useful for checking whether a firearm continues to strike consistently relative to the intended aiming point. Shooters can also use separate targets to compare shot groups produced by different ammunition loads.
For the most meaningful comparison, maintain consistent shooting conditions, support, distance, and group size. Comparing several groups is generally more informative than drawing conclusions from a single group.
Using Shoot-N-C Targets With a Target Camera
Reactive targets and target-camera systems complement one another. Shoot-N-C targets increase visual contrast around bullet impacts, while a remote camera can provide a close-up view of the target at distances where those impacts may no longer be clearly visible from the firing line.

Mounting and Range Safety
Attach the self-adhesive target to a suitable, clean backing surface approved for use at your shooting range. Follow posted range rules and ensure that target placement, backstop conditions, and shooting distances are appropriate for the firearm and ammunition being used.
