What do you use to measure out your 10" and 20" circles on target paper?

I'm using a 10" and 20" piece of cardboard but I was thinking of trying a piece of clear plexiglass but wanted to ask if there was something that you use that might work better?

I've been using a 10 inch diameter clear piece of plexi-glass for years and I've found nothing better.   :OGturkeyhead:

I have 2 10" glass circles I use.  I had my local glass company cut them for me.

Same here... had a piece cut for around $5.00 4 or 5 years ago.   :icon_thumright:

X3. Works perfect.

I just cut the 10" section of an old target out.  I like the plexiglass idea.

I have been using a wooden paint stir stick with a plastic push pin poked through it 1/2" from the square end and 3/16" holes drilled through at 5" and 10" from the pin.  Stick the pin into the center of the target, hold onto the push pin, put the tip of a black Sharpie into the drilled hole and draw your circle. Simple to make, use, store and virtually free to everyone!

If you want to spend the big bucks, a 12"wooden ruler would probably work as a substitute for the paint stick.  ;)

All ideas mentioned in this thread will work.  But the clear pexi-glass allows you to lay it down on the pattern and move it around until you can see the densest 10"  pattern.   :OGturkeyhead:

Where do you boys get a 10" circle of plexiglass cut at? Sounds like the perfect think for making your 10" circle.

Find a glass shop.  That's where I got mine cut at.  Try your local yellow pages and look under glass.

And here I thought I was being extreme when I bought a 10" plexiglass disk. Glad I'm not the only one! As mentioned, the plexiglass lets you see the whole pattern as you move it around which is really nice. I also recommend drilling a hole in the center so you can easily mark the center of your pattern (really helps when sighting in).
