It is copyrighted.

An individual printing their own is not going to hit anyone's radar screen, and may possibly fall under fair use doctrine. But a business printing them without a license could certainly fall into a deep mess -- commercial copyright infringement has some pretty serious penalties.

Do you have one that is? I have been unable to locate any one of the NRA approved vendors as having a copyright for a B27 target, or the NRA itself as having a copyright that could license a printer. http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebre ...

I would find it very hard to believe that one of the majors would violate a copyright.

So, can anyone print an official B27 target or only if you are approved and licensed by the NRA? Or, another way to say it, can anyone grab the official NRA B27 specifications and print up targets and call them a B27 and use them for official CHL certification? And, how is this regulated that a non NRA licensed B27 target is legit and in specifications?
