Abstract: An improved shooting target having a printed front face sheet mounted to a core sheet which has an integral cutout area positioned directly behind the aim point of the printed target face. Dye-filled packets positioned within the cutout area are held in place with the glue of an adhesive faced backer sheet which covers the back side of the cutout area of the core sheet and is held in place by adhering to the back face of the core sheet. The result is an improved target having the qualities of providing the marksman or recreational shooter with immediate enhanced visual identification as to the impact area of their shot as the projectile bursts a dye packet leaving a colorful or contrasting mark on the printed target face.
