Home made slug and other multi targets


Recommended Posts

Here is my version of home made multi targets. IN a past life I painted signage and banners, along with building magic and props and FX for shows clowns and magicians. Which in a practical world means that I ended up with an excess amount of half full or less of paint spray cans and other wise. Along with large sheets of a heavy weight paper and rolls of brown and white paper. Since I'm dealing with sorting out and disposing of my parents belongings. Wife and I decided to lighten the load of stuff we have a culminated.
Since the local indoor range I'm a member has changed their policy on no more cardboard targets, I decided to use up the lft over stuff.
Made up two stencils from manila folder stock, One from a coffee can lid about 6"plus dia and another around 3 3/4" lid. Spray painted them on the paper for a background color to place the dots on.

You will have to wipe the excess paint off the stencils each time if the build up is heavy, and the reverse after a number of dots when it starts to bleed under.

I use two different colors per sheet

I then let them dry

When I'm finished with the stack, I apply the dots. I went thru the shooting spares/junk box and pulled out all C-N-C and self stickies and used them up.

After this batch I went to amazon to find some target spots on rolls in different sizes.

First, welcome to the forum. 

 

Second, that seems like quite a bother instead of searching for "printable targets", finding ones you like, and hitting the print button.

Thanks

I'm first reusing, re-purposing,recycling items I have on hand. I don't have a printer big enough to print 24"x30" and I shot at a indoor range. Which the target trolley's aren't known for their speed006.gif Plus the added benefit that it is making wifey happier that stuff ids being used and will no longer taking space in the shop and house.

Paper plates! Used cleanish paper plates make great targets.

 

New ones too. Those ones which seem to instantly become soggy and worthless if you put food on them do fine with a staple through them. If you are hosting an action match style game, they are very fast to reset between contestants.
