Description
The Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird 12" x 18" Silhouette Target does one thing really well: it shows you exactly where your rounds are going without any guesswork. When a bullet punches through, the coating around the hole tears away and reveals a bright white ring underneath. The result is a splatter of contrast that jumps out against the dark target face, even from a good distance away. Range folks like these for zeroing, sighting in, and general trigger time because you spend less time walking downrange and more time putting rounds in the dirt.
What Makes the Dirty Bird Splatter Work
The magic is in that intense white reaction. Each impact leaves a jagged bright halo that reads clearly through iron sights, a red dot, or a scope. Folks have mentioned being able to pick out hits at 100 yards, and it works just as well for pellet guns and crossbows as it does for pistols and rifles. Less back-and-forth checking your groups means faster feedback and better practice sessions.
Built From Heavy Tagboard
These aren't flimsy printer-paper targets. The heavy tagboard construction holds up to repeated shots and stands up to breezy outdoor days at the range. The silhouette shape makes them a natural fit for defensive practice and general marksmanship drills where a human-size aiming point matters.
Setup and Reuse With the Dirty Bird Silhouette
The back is non-adhesive, so you can hang, clip, tape, or staple these up however your setup works, indoors or out. That same non-stick back lets you jot notes right on the target and tuck it away to compare against your next session. You get eight targets in the pack, which is enough to keep a solo shooter or a couple of buddies busy for a while before you need to restock.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Dirty Bird splatter effect work?
When a bullet passes through, the top coating around the hole peels back to expose a bright white layer underneath. That creates a high-contrast ring that looks like splattered paint around each impact. The bright halo makes hits easy to see from a distance without walking downrange to check.
Can I use these Dirty Bird silhouette targets with a rifle, or just pistols?
They work with plenty of platforms. While Birchwood Casey markets them heavily for pistol-action shooting, folks use them for rifles, pellet guns, and even crossbows. The white splatter shows up clearly even out at longer distances, which makes them handy for sighting in and zeroing.
Do these targets have a sticky back?
No, the back is non-adhesive. That means you can hang, clip, tape, or staple them up however your target stand or backer is set up. It also lets you write notes directly on the target and save it to compare against future range trips.
How many targets come in a pack?
This pack includes eight 12" x 18" silhouette targets. That's enough to cover a solid range session or split between a couple of shooters before you need more.
