What height should the target board be when shooting with an air rifle?

What are the advantages of a small target board?
A small target board improves precision as it requires focused target acquisition. It provides a greater challenge and trains fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, it is space-saving, easy to transport, and often more affordable than larger models, making it ideal for flexible training and limited shooting areas.
What are the advantages of a large target board?
A large target board makes target acquisition easier and is ideal for beginners as well as training at various distances. It offers higher tolerance for errors, helping shooters build confidence. Moreover, it increases safety by better catching arrows. These target boards are also suitable for group and competition training as they provide space for multiple shooters.
How can I best protect my target board from weather influences outdoors?
To extend the lifespan of a target board outdoors, it should be protected from intense sunlight and moisture. A weatherproof cover or a sheltered location helps keep rain and UV radiation at bay. Additionally, placing it in the shade can slow down material wear. If not in use for an extended period, it is recommended to store the board dry and covered. Despite good care, natural wear occurs, and it should be regularly checked for damage.
