Where is the target card?

I bought the target card and have only used it once. For me it is, for all intents and purposes, useless. When I received the target card I was really disappointed because it was so small.It is about 6 inches high and 4 inches wide. It is made of red, translucent plastic, and it has what I guess is is white target area that is 3 inches high by 1.5 inches wide. I am a homeowners insurance inspector, so I measure the perimeters of the buildings that I inspect. Try focusing the narrow beam of the laser measuring device a six inches high over any distance of more than 10 feet. In order to hit the target card, you need a tripod or something to steady the beam. By the time you do all of this to measure one dimension, I could have used my digital measuring wheel to do the whole job. You may notice that there is “no image available” shen try to view what you are buying, so you really don’t know what you are getting until you get it. Don’t waste your money on this. Make your own from a piece of plywood and a $1.00 can of white spray paint.

Almost Useless
The item I received was 3″x5″, not 5″x9″ as advertised, and was made of simple pink plastic, not even laser-reflective. As such, it is virtually useless for enhancing laser-reflectivity. I’d sorta call it a hoax… I returned it.

Absolutely “brilliant” target.
I used this objective while laying the foundation for a barn I am building in the high country of New Mexico. The goal was brilliantly visible even in bright sunlight at noon.
