Great state of Texas
Exactly like the ones that you shoot at when taking a CHL class. They are pretty large. Anyone know where I can order some online?

I make mine out of cardboard boxes. To refresh I cut brown paper sacks to fit and glue. Aiming points are contrasting color 2" post it notes.
 
There are plenty of sellers on eBay I just ordered some 32 bucks per 100.

Your location being Texas, a quick Google search shows that the target Texas uses is a B27, a human-shaped silhouette target that measures 45" high and 24" wide. They are widely available.
 
I've used the human silhouette target like they use in classes and also used my own target, a 2 1/4" black square with a 1" white circle in the center, printed on regular letter-sized copy paper. Works well at any reasonable distance, even up very close, though I only shoot it at 25 yards with handguns.

The axiom "aim small, shoot small" generally works well. Too large an aiming point will increase group sizes for most people. Granted, one doesn't need particularly tight groups for defensive practice, but small groups are never a disadvantage.

Just a suggestion and not worth a debate.
