I'm new to Field Target. I've been practicing pretty regularly this spring (see this thread) and if the weather cooperates this weekend, I'm hoping to shoot my first match!
So far I have been practicing mostly with paper targets and some with my one metal knock down target. In an effort to try to understand the Troyer system, I created this target which should represent target sizes that are in the hard to expert range in the Troyer scale:

(Be sure to print so it does not shrink or enlarge the output - it should print fine on 8.5x11 paper in landscape orientation.)
Before I get too excited that I might actually understand some of this, it would be great if someone more knowledgeable than I can check it out to see if it actually makes sense ;-)
I placed 15 circles on the page to be shot at specific distances each sized to simulate a shots with difficulties in the 30s to 40s. Basically what I am trying to improve upon is something like the pic below where I slap 1/2 stickers and then try to extrapolate out how I would have done based on my hits.
As you will see in the PDF, I did some distances that made sense to me:
10, 13, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 yards (I repeated 55 yards a few times to fill out the paper)
Any input would be appreciated!
Here's what I have been doing with my cardboard and stickers
