1. A firearm target, comprising:
a cardboard substrate folded and glued into a tube including four flat sides of approximately equal size, wherein each flat side is connected to two adjacent flat sides to form the tube;
a plurality of cuts with one of the cuts formed between each adjacent pair of the flat sides at a first end and second end of the tube to provide a flap adjacent to each end of each of the flat sides;
a first score line formed in the cardboard substrate between each pair of adjacent flat sides to allow the tube to be folded flat;
a second score line formed in the cardboard substrate perpendicularly to the first score lines across an entire width of the cardboard substrate at a quarter of the distance from the first end of the tube to the second end of the tube to allow the first end of the tube to be folded to a center of the tube;
a third score line formed in the cardboard substrate perpendicularly to the first score lines across the entire width of the cardboard substrate at a quarter of the distance from the second end of the tube to the first end of the tube to allow the second end of the tube to be folded to the center of the tube; and
a pair of fourth score lines formed in the cardboard substrate perpendicularly to the first score lines across the entire width of the cardboard substrate near the center of the tube to allow the tube to be folded in half with the first end of the tube and the second end of the tube internal to the central fold.
