Stuff a grain sack full of old plastic grocery bags or old window screens, rags, t-shirts, other feed bags. Whatever you've got. Spray paint some round(ish) splotches on it and you've got yourself a fine target my friend.

Stumps are pretty cheap!   :goldtooth:

Stumps are kinda tough if you live in Town though. The Neighbors get edgey about it, Silly People!

A recent one I have seen here is a K-Mart or Wally-Wworld throw cusion for boating.  Doesn't tip the neighbors off.... I like that.  i will admit it isn't cheaper than stuffing a bag though.
