Large field target
« on: May 27, 2019, 08:35:06 AM »
I'm looking for some help finding a vendor I met at this year's Kalamazoo expo. He sells large solid foam field targets and was set up in the room that had all the historical displays. I planned to contact him for a target after we got settled into our new place, but lost his business card during the move! The targets are really nice- the stand is integrated into the target itself, same kind of foam. He offered 2 thicknesses for various draw weights. He was based either in Kzoo or nearby, but my Internet search has been fruitless. Does anyone know this company? Thanks, all.

There were some guys at the Tenn. Classic selling those big, foam targets. I don't know them but Pappy(Mark Baggett) from Twin Oaks would know. I'll try to get his contact info.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Hi
I live in a place where there is no sporting goods stores at all. The florida keys I made a 4x4 ft target frame 12in thick out of wood with a 1/2 ply back and filled it with plastic bags, sheet plastic got a bunch from a matteress store they cover the matteress with it to ship it stops arrows quicker than foam and easier to get them out.Covered the front with scrap carpet and a square of cardboard to put the targets on.  Seems like it is going to last as long as foam too. I also have made my own foam targets I am in the marine business I bought a two part foam kit 1 gal. each side my cost was 100.00 I have made two 24x24 foam blocks out of it. They last for thousand or so shots. You have six sides. I use a cardboard box tape up the seams so the liquid does not leak pour it in half gal. will make one block. It would not be hard to make animal shape form and pour the foam in that either.
Regards
Bob
