Because I have an enclosed building that too short for a 50 yard range but not a 25 yard one, I chose to test ammo sometimes in my building rather than at our gun club range sometimes.
Because I have way too much time on my hands, I have devised a scale model target of the official 50 yard ARA target. It would have been simple to reduce the target by 50% if I was shooting with 1/2 size .22 bullet but I am fresh out of .11 rimfire ammo. I am using the same bullets that I will use outdoors.
I did some shade tree figuring and I came found the reduction needs to be 72.4% of the official 50 yard one. I reduced it on a computer to 72% and called it a day.
My shot targets seem to have a close correlation to the real thing. I think this would work for 50/50 targets as well.
Feel free to correct my math if you can find a different reduction.
