How do you cover up a vital on a 3-D bear after shooting a lot so you can't see where to see just by looking at your arrow holes? I hope I said this
I am saying this right.

You could try spray paint.

If it is shot up pretty bad, you can fill it in with spray foam.  Let it set up for a day, cut off the excess to profile and then spray with flat black or brown to match the target.

I have targets that have been repaired over 10 times.  My McKenzie bear is one of them.  Its black.  I use the spray foam, let it dry, cut it to shape with a bread knife (serrated edge) and paint it with black spray paint.  The best value for the money target I have.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

Wow, I never knew you could repair these targets, so easily and so well.  Thanks for the tips fellas.

I use great stuff also.   I have shot some so much they had a whole the size of mellon and still been able to restore them to usable shape.

The Great Stuff Large Hole Filler type works Great for turning Turkey Decoys into 3D targets too! The ones I shoot have lasted for 5 years now!
