Homemade Shoot And See Targets

[Harrylee]

Here’s my homemade shoot and see targets, most of the stuff you need you probably already have. To start with I use card stock paper the brighter the better and some regular 2" clear packing tape next just put tape on the whole paper over lap alittle but cover the whole page. After that I use plain old spray bomb I’ve been using flat black but any contrasting colors will work just give a coat let dry ready to go. On this one I cut a hole in some cardboard as soon as the black flashed off I held the templet on it and shot white on for the bulls eye, some time I take a piece of duct tape and put that on for the bulls eye. The good thing about these targets is after you blow some holes thru them they can be reused pull the duct tape off and just re-spray. I’ve had it to where the paper was half gone before I trashed them. A lot cheaper the store bought and you have most of the stuff laying around. Good luck have fun. What I forgot is to tell you how this works by putting the tape on it is very shiny and the paint doesn't get a good bond good enough to stay on but when it gets hit the paint flakes off

to much talent on this fourm. WE gotta start thining out some of these 53% er. Just sayin

It makes it hard for some of you "low information" people to understand them. Just sayin

[Buzzard45]

too much talent here? seeing my 45 punching holes in these is just way cool!

I was young when men were men. We thought nothing of walking 50' to see what damage we had done to the target. Most often the center was shot clean out. I don't understand what's happened to the youth of this country. Shoot and see my elbow. And don't get me started on them laser sights, neither. (End of rant.)

I like the simplicity and ingenuity, it speaks well to my penny pinching side but.... I'm with muggsy what's so hard about walking out to the target, for me it's half the fun, I hate standing still. plus it just breaks things up to walk out to the targets while shooting the bull with whoever you're practicing with. All these newer style targets are clearly made with my generation in mind, instant gratification no waiting no patience just pull the trigger and instantly get your result without having to take your muffs off our even put down the gun.


But that's great work harrylee, don't mind one grumpy old man and one grumpy old soul.

I prefer my version I suppose.

I hang a tin can on a branch, when I "shoot" it I can "see" it moving.

K.I.S.S. Brilliant! I'm gonna start saving my tin cans.

We normally fill bottles with water (full to the top). They explode when you hit them. But you can only hit them once. If you use bigger 2 liter bottles and freeze them, then you can hit it multiple times.

When I was young we used to have to walk 50 yards to go to the outhouse. I suppose you'd rather have that too Mugs.
I don't think they have laser's that fit on clubs and spears so you are safe.
LOL, we'll drag you kickin and screamin into the present day one of these days. I'd have a laser on all my semi's if I could afford it. I am not going to ruin the looks of my 686 or 629 Classic or my Dan Wesson with one though. I'm for anything that gives you an edge in a gun fight. Plus seeing a red dot dancing around on your chest just might make you decide you don't want to play anymore.

Yes there's even a "Corrective " Target for new Gun owners!:59:

Here is a good video, explaining one of the advantages of a laser sight: Lack of tunnel vision experienced when concentrating on the front sight.
Some are always going to say they are just a gadget, or the battery is going to run out at the wrong time. As for the batteries, I think they should be part of the routine battery changing many people do with their smoke detectors, when daylight savings time ends in the fall, and the nights start getting longer. And more people are out doing their Christmas shopping while it's dark out. And the criminals are breaking into cars to steal presents already bought.

thanks downtownv I've been using something similar. most of the time bottles and cans with and without the water method unless I want to double check how I'm shooting and try to improve on it. most of the time I figure if I can knock down a can at 20-25yrds I should catch center mass at 7yrds.

although I truly do enjoy all the ingenuity on here.

Harry Lee sir I seriously think what you have shown is awesome. Next time I hit the indoor range I believe I will make some of these for my wife to shoot as she likes to be able to see how well she is shooting while she is shooting.

Tin cans work pretty well in the yard or outside where I can use them but in fact the outdoor range I visit now and again wouldn't allow them.

[Lentevan]

maybe that's why, we have no indoor ranges where I'm at and only 2 outdoor ranges writing 40 miles. I prefer all the big open spaces in between.
