Take a look at this target! Figured it would do me good to shoot at a lifesized,although flat target.
Scaled an IBEF elk pic 1/4" = 6" (I think) onto some scrap foam and added 5 or 6 pcs behind the kill zone. Got no cost and about an hour in him!
Looks like hes been shotgunned,but I've been shooting mostly 35-40 yds,waaay more than I'd shoot in the timber!

Inovative. Who says who have to spend big money on targets!!! :clapper: :clapper:
Good job on the Elk target Kenny. Hope all that practice keeps You on target on the real deal. bretto
Looks great!
Kennym.... what thickness? 2" or multiple layers? If multiple, what kind of penetration are you getting? I'm renewing all my range targets this week and looking at maybe putting up 8" of foam backing... mind you, thinking backing rather than target, but your approach would make a neat target on the front... a separate cutout layer. My backstops are 6x8 ft. for the 10 and 30 yard targets and 4x4 for the closer ones.

Dick,
Its 1" foam,with 5 xtra pcs behind the kill zone. I get about 20" penetration (52#,612 grn arrow )unless I miss the kill zone backer,then it blows way on thru.
way cool!!! :notworthy:
Dang Kenny you need to cut your grass :goldtooth:
Looks good and I hope all your practice pays off for ya bud. Good luck !!

Looks good Kenny!!
Thats funny :biglaugh: is that a pigme elk.
Who's laughen, I'm going to build one of those myself next spring!!! Great job, although not sure how many pink Elk your going to get shooting at;)
That's neat...I always wanted an elk target...now I know how to get one...Thanks for sharing, Kenny...

Pretty cool Kenny :thumbsup:
Nice looking target. I use the 2" to make aerial disks. If interested the 150 is around $18 and the 250 is closer to $25 for a 4X8 sheet.
thats a cool target beats shooting a dot all the time!
I had been thinking of doing something similar with, but celotex sheathing in layers, using full 4x8 sheets with a deer silhouette traced on it.
how about a little brown spray paint?
Hard work usually pays off, good luck Kenny. Better mow that grass before ya leave. :goldtooth:
Thats cool, Kenny... A little spray paint and I would think that was a "store bought" target... LOL
Good luck out there this season..

Thats one heck of an idea :thumbsup:
