FIRECON Lite · Free

Pick your target

Free targets to print at home, from a cartoon zombie to police-style and gun-club training sheets. FIRECON already knows every one, so you skip teaching it and start shooting.

Print at 100 % / Actual size, not Fit to page, on plain white paper.

The targets

Each one prints on one page, US Letter or A4. Printed right, the black frame measures 7.5 × 10 in (19 × 25.4 cm) on either paper.

  1. The practice target: a ten-ring bullseye with a solid red 10 in the middle and the ring numbers printed across it, under the MGA and FIRECON Lite marks, with a black mark in each corner.

Print. Hang. Shoot.

Two minutes of setup and FIRECON locks on fast and sees every hit.

  1. Print it right

    • Print at 100 % / Actual size on plain white paper. Turn off Fit to page.
    • Color or black and white. A home printer is fine.
    • Check with a ruler: the black frame is 7.5 × 10 in (19 × 25.4 cm).
  2. Hang it flat

    • Tape all four corners to a firm, dark backer: black foam board, or cardboard covered in black. Every hit shows the backer through the hole, so dark makes your holes stand out.
    • Keep it flat: no creases or folds, no curled corners.
    • Even light across the sheet: no glare and no shadow.
  3. Shoot

    • Open FIRECON Lite in the MGA app and pick the target you printed.
    • Set your phone level with the target, straight on, with the whole sheet in view.
    • Keep it still: a small tripod, or prop it on something steady.

Safety first

Every time, at home or at a range.

  • Eye protection for you and everyone nearby.
  • A proper backstop behind the target that stops what you shoot, like a BB or pellet trap, and nothing behind it you would mind hitting. BBs bounce: never shoot at a hard, flat surface.
  • Your phone goes beside or behind you, never downrange.
  • Nobody goes downrange while anyone is loaded.
  • At a range, follow the range officer and ask before you set up a phone.
  • Adults only. The app is for ages 18 and up. Follow your local laws.
