STEEL APPLE TARGET PIC
« on: February 07, 2007, 06:01:00 PM »
Well a very good freind of mine is having his annual Chili shoot Feb 24th. Great time and great freinds. I wanted to make something for Him and thought this target would be fun. It is what I call THE BAD APPLE CHALLENGE. It is made from a piece of 1/4" steel and I hand cut the apple with a grinder. The apple is 5.25" X 3.5" Took awhile but I really wanted to get this done for him. He plans on giving 100 points to add to the score of anyone who makes it through the apple.I know the apple is not perfect but close enough!LOL. So what ya think? <><

Those steel targets are a lot of fun. Our club has steel deer, javelinas, and turkeys with just a small vital cutout. We use them once or twice a year at 3d shoots. I like setting a steel target at close range, say 15 yards for the turkey, worth 25 points for a vital hit. Or you can shoot the foam turkey at about 40 yards with standard scoring. It's interesting to see who chooses which target and what happens.

Yep I think it will be fun to see arrows smashing into it. I plan on making another one for mine and shells good freinds Kevin and Sue of RER bows. They have a annual shoot in august which is a night shoot with tiki torches. Now that's a BLAST.<><

Why don't you paint a person's face(with a very nervous expression) below the apple.

LEROY your the arra maker so I plan on shooting yours. BTW I already shot through the apple at 13yrds. CS no worry about them coming back at ya. I am sure after the shoot LeRoy will attest to that after all his arrow just smash into it and lay there. I will be sure to snap a pic or two for posting.  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:  <><

Our club has an small wooden coffin below the steel plate shot.
All broken arrows, get left there for someone with a shorter draw length to pick from
