I go to Lowes and get a roll of construction paper...think it's about $15, should last you a long time.  I've had mine several years and I pattern a LOT with different guns that friends bring me to shoot for them.

Best of luck!!

Good idea! I have always used oak tag paper but wished it was a little bigger.

I staple paper to a pallet and prop that up in place. The bigger the paper the better when checking POA/POI.
