Paper pistol target suggestions

My standard paper target is a piece of typing/copy paper with a stock on 1” or 2” fluorescent crosshair sticker. I have noticed that at 20+ yards, with irons, especially on handguns, that dot is more of a suggestion on where to aim and my groups suffer due to it (that’s what I’m blaming anyways). I was curious what you guys use for pistol targets at similar distances. I see pictures in Mr Taffin’s and Tank Hoovers articles that looks like they are shooting a 6 o’clock hold on something like a 4” orange square. I’ve looked at U-line and similar places for a roll of such stickers to get away cheap but no luck. I’ve thought about cutting a nice square out of a piece of sheet metal then spray painting paper through that hole. If I have to buy something I will. But dang it; I’m cheap! Plus the 8.5x11 sheets are nice to keep in a Manila folder for future perusing.

Thanks for any suggestions.

PS I generally want my handguns to hit point of aim at whatever distance I’m using them, but have zero problems using a 6 o’clock hold to get better accuracy when testing handloads. And yes, I love shooting steel and do so often but when working on various loads, I want something easy to label and take home and look at later.
