Sub-Yardage Spot Target Generator

Sub-Yardage Spot Target Generator

Do You.....

· Shoot spot targets?

· Train at home at less than the standard distance?

· Want exactly the correct sight picture?

Good news! If you have Microsoft PowerPoint (Sorry, but it only works with the 2002 version. The 2002 MS Office Suite version of Powerpoint did something that prevents the macro from running), you can generate NFAA 3 or 5 spot targets or their single face sides properly scaled for any distance less than or equal to the standard distance. In addition to providing the proper sight picture, with the entry of your arrow diameter, dashed scoring lines are drawn so you can establish exactly what your score would be shooting standard targets at the correct yardage. Targets are generated to be printed on standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper.

Doubleclick here to open the PowerPoint target generator macros. Once the Scale Archery Target Generator Macro file comes up on your screen, save the file to a directory on your computer (Click File/Save As/Scaled Targets). Then double-click the file from the directory to open your PowerPoint program and run the macros. Then Follow the directions on the PowerPoint slide to generate the target of your choosing.

Some people who have their PowerPoint security level set too high may prevent the macros from being enabled. We recommend setting the security level to medium as that setting looks at the macro author and compares it against your trusted list but unlike the high level which disables the macros if the authors don't appear, PowerPoint asks if you'd like to enable or disable the macros.

To check/set the security level, start PowerPoint, click on Tools_>Macro_>Security and choose Medium, OK. Then read in the scaled-targets file and when PowerPoint asks, Enable the macros.
