How Much Do Gun Targets Cost? A Breakdown of Axle Targets' Prices & Value

How Much Do Gun Targets Really Cost?

Whether you're a weekend range warrior, a competitive shooter, or a firearms instructor running drills—you're probably wondering: "How much do gun targets cost?"

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The price of gun targets can vary depending on a few key factors like size, paper quality, design complexity, and how many you’re buying.

At Axle Targets, we make it easy to get premium, full-size paper targets at competitive prices. From tactical designs like the FBI QIT 99 to custom instructor targets for professionals, we’ve got options that fit every budget—and every range bag.

Let’s break down exactly what you’re paying for and how to get the most bang for your buck.


What Affects the Price of Gun Targets?

Before we dive into the actual numbers, let’s look at what goes into the cost of a target.

Here are the four biggest pricing factors:

  1. Paper Size – Larger targets use more material and cost more to produce. Our standard full-size targets measure 23"x35", offering plenty of real estate for accurate training.

  2. Paper Type – Targets printed on weather-resistant cover stock tend to be pricier than those on 60# Premium Bond Paper, but they hold up better in outdoor conditions.

  3. Target Type – Specialty targets designed for instructors or advanced tactical drills (like Modern Samurai Project or Sage Dynamics) may come with added printing complexity and durability needs.

  4. Bulk Discounts – The more you buy, the lower your per-target cost. Ordering 1000 targets? You’ll save a ton compared to a pack of 25.

Now, let’s break down Axle Targets’ pricing by product category.
