June ALR monthly match

Someone on here told me about Walmart card stock with normal printer paper dimensions that cuts clean holes. He was right and it’s all I use now. It’s cheap too.

It's all about fiber size, apparently. Long fiber  tears short fiber is used for target paper.

Daryl,
You are correct. Fiber length and basis weight of the paper. Official targets are actually printed on a low grade, short fiber paper stock and are a heavier weight than standard 20 lb. copy/printer. The weight of the paper actually refers to the weight of 1000 sheets of the paper, as I recall. Card stock is on the order of 50 lb. weight. Not all printers are "happy" with 50+ weight papers/card stock.

I have a cheap HP and a cheap Cannon printer they both handle 50 and 60 lb. cardstock just fine.
I had an old HP that didn't most of the current printers out there can handle them.

I use 67 pound from Office Depot.  It works in my printer without issues.  Another option is to use some simple inexpensive spray glue from the school supply aisle and glue targets to cardboard.
