Homemade shoot and see targets

Post by 3toe »

Check out the video first then see my first try below.

Since I had a little time on my hands and I was at Wal-Mart I decided to try this.

I bought a can of .96 cent flat black and some floruescent yellow and orange. I decided to go a little different route and spray paint a poster board with yellow instead of using the small sheets of contruction paper. Below is my test board. You can see how it held up to the magnum Red Ryder BB gun I pounded it with. I believe it works.

Here is the first rough 2x2 I finished. It takes a little longer on a cold day because the paint doesn't want to set as fast. I printed off the square target and cut it out with a razor to use as a stencil. I rednecked the circles. I have one other 2x2 I am finishing and then its off to the range.

I have $10 in materials, only because I bought the can of yellow. I can probably do 5-6 2x2's before the can of black runs out. But's its only .96/can.

Since this got brought up again, here is a pic of a target at the range after I was trying to get a couple scopes sighted in. Holes from a 7mm-08, a .35 Rem and a 45/70 showing. Can ya'll pick out which is which? :)

Yep, thats it. I just cut a circle on a piece of paper and laid it over the black and sprayed it.

I've made a few of these in the last few weeks. They work really well. I could see the hits through a 14X scope at 400 yards.
