This may seem a bit silly, bear with me.
My girlfriend moved to Alaska to be with me, once she saw my bear rug and blacktail euro mounts in our new house she decided she wants to hunt with me. We’re waiting on her residency to kick in next year, in the meantime I’m getting her to the range and getting her comfortable shooting. First time with a bolt action .308 and she was punching 4 inch groups at 100 yds consistently. Throughout the winter we’re going to work on getting her dialed in so she’s ready for next season.
Awhile back when I first took an interest in hunting, I found “life size” (poster size) paper targets of deer and bears at a gun show. The targets had light outlines of the vitals on each animal and it helped me out a bit with understanding the why for ethical shots when I was practicing. I think these targets are going to be good for her to visualize where to shoot when I get her out in the field.
I’ve found plenty of options for paper targets with deer, haven’t found one with a bear with the vitals outlined. Anyone know where i could find targets like this?
Also… lord help me if her first bear is bigger than mine, im never going to live that down.
