flat foam animal targets
« on: September 10, 2014, 12:31:00 PM »
A few years ago I bought some flat foam animal targets, about 1 inch thick, that you could pin to a bale or a bag.  I forgot who I bought them from and a web search has not helped. They ranged from crows, rabbits, deer and more. Anyone have a source for these?

Dinks' makes a good target but they are not what I am after.  The flat foam animal targets were made to fasten to your target bag or bale.  They were cheep flexible foam but lasted through many shots,
You could buy a rabbit size target for about $1.50.  They were probably cut out by hand and spray painted, nothing fancy.

OnCore Targets makes nice and durable 2D foam animal targets.  I saw these at an archery shoot earlier this year. I think they have everything from weasel to elk targets available.

How do they hold up? Do you put them in front of your main target or can you shoot them on there own without having pass throughs?

The targets are approx 1/2"thick foam and are designed to be pinned to a target butt.  At an archery shoot earlier this year, they had one of these targets on the practice range and I would estimate that it took a few hundred shots and I thought it held up pretty well.

Our Club has been using OnCore Targets from the current owner and previous owner for at least a decade now. Very happy with customer service!  We use them inside on bales and outside on bales also.  For leagues, for kids and other public programs.  We usually buy around 30 or so at a time and they last about 2years of heavy use.  Of course we use real 3D's for our 3D shoots.  If I had a bigger bale or two at home I'd use them over paper or burlap targets.
