Home made silhouette .22 target

[fljp2002]

Was inspired by some youtube videos.

Picked up a yoga push up pad, found the NRA silhouette pdf for the 1/5 scale target.

Overlaid them on the pad and cut to shape.

Now I can try my hand at silhouette shooting.

I wonder how the foam will react to .22LR, it not super dense but I think it will heal itself quite well and the target should handle a few 100s shot each

Great idea. A lot better than paying $225 for a set of steel ones.

... and the target should handle a few 100s shot each

"A few hundred shots each"... might be optimistic. But you can try them out... "IF" there is NO wind...

Who pays for them? Find a buddy to make some outa scrap.

Yah good idea, depending how you hold them in place ect.
