Abstract
A target assembly includes special paper on which a target is imprinted and which is stored on a feeder roll in a frame and which is moved past a target area in the frame to either a take-up roll or to an exit slot. If the paper passes through the exit slot, it can be moved past a cutting slot and cut off using a knife or the like. The paper is a special rosin sized sheathing, such as forty pound wax paper, which retains the desired orientation during a target shoot, as well as makes clean, precise holes when impacted by shot whereby a precise record of a shot is made. An area on the paper adjacent to each target can be used to record data pertinent to the shoot whereby a firearm can be sighted in or a load adjusted.
