Gun targets have been part of American history for as long as firearms have been legal. The first target shooting pistols were designed in 1836 by George Peabody and David Stone, two of the original gunsmiths in America. Gun targets were used to practice with pistols before they became common objects of domestic decoration. In 1868, the first successful rifle match was held at Green Park, Chicago, using guns that fired balls about the size of a pin. Rifle matches continued until 1903. In 1905, Congress passed the National Firearms Act which made it illegal to possess any firearm other than a muzzle-loading pistol or shotgun with a barrel less than eighteen inches in length. This law led to the development of airguns and now traditional handguns such as revolvers are available in many calibers and types. Today, gun targets remain an important part of American recreational gunfire culture and can be found at many outdoor ranges around the country. They can also be enjoyed during indoor target shootings by making use of props such as trees or pillars to help keep your shots tight groupings while taking your time firing each round.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of gun targets that are available, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Gun targets can be used for a variety of purposes, including training, target practice, and shooting competitions. There are three main types of gun targets: silhouette targets, bullseye targets, and background or target images. Silhouette targets are simple objects that have no real distinguishing features other than their shape. Bullseye targets are larger versions of silhouette Targets, with bulls-eye shapes around the periphery. Background or target images are objects that purposely contain no information about theARGETS themselves; they may be natural or man-made objects. Background image guns typically use silhouettes as their primary type of target while target image guns use bullseyes or other patterns in addition to silhouettes. Shooting competition handguns often feature bothBullseye and Silhouette Targets which offer shooters an opportunity to compete against each other in head-to-head matches or groupsings. Target practice can also be used to improve accuracy when shooting handguns by increasing difficulty levels while still providing a fun experience for the shooter. In general, any object with at least one bulls-eye pattern will do for most shooters; however, some people prefer specific patterns on certain types of firearm sights (like those found on rifles) because they make them more difficult or challenging to hit without experiencing frustration. There is no set rule when it comes to choosing a layout for your handgun range; just make sure you have something that appeals to all members who will be using it!

The town experienced growth during the late 19th century thanks to its location on the main line of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. In 1910, Maywood was designated as one of five townships in Cook County that were merged into the city of Chicago.

Gun targets have been used by Humans for centuries. The first known reference to a target being used as a gun is from the ancient Greeks. In 476 BC, they made use of an animal's shoulder as a target for Bows and Arrows. This was followed by a man in 1527, who hit two small balls out of his hand with his bare hands
The first handgun target was built by a group of engineers at the University of Illinois in 1892. The handgun target was designed to use a 20-gauge shotgun shell instead of the more common 12 gauge.
Maywood is a village in McLean County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,711 at the 2010 census. Maywood is part of the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is located on the banks of the Chicago River. The first settlement in what is now Maywood was made by Captain James Clarke and his family in 1814. Clarke's brother-in-law, Nathaniel Pease, founded the village of Maywood on April 6, 1815. At its peak in 1835, there were over 1,200 people living in Maywood. The village began to decline after 1850 as large numbers of farmers moved into nearby towns and villages and transportation improved to allow more people to live near their workplaces. However, Maywood has bounced back several times since then and currently has a population of over 2,000 people who own or operate businesses within its boundaries. Some notable residents of mayWOOD include: Elijah Muhammad (founder and leader of Nation Of Islam), Joseph Pulitzer (editorialist for The New York Times), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harold Washington (the first African American mayor of Washington D.C.), Oprah Winfrey (media mogul and current president and CEO of OWN cable network), Barack Obama (presidential candidate from 2008 to 2012), Dick Cheney (former Vice President)

Maywood became a thriving community with a large population of around 200 people by 1860. The town experienced prosperity during the late 19th century thanks to its coal mines and manufacturing plants. However, starting in the early 20th century, Maywood began to experience decline due to factors such as economic recession, pollution from industries in the area, and increased traffic into the town.
