Does anybody use cardboard deer targets.I used to buy them for a couple of bucks,but have not seen them around for a long time.Nobody carries them. Kinda liked shooting at themm.They were some what life size and more fun than bullseyes.Used to set them up in front of haybales.Looked good through the brush.Great practice.

I get used carpet scraps and cut out my own deer, life size, for free! Make them however I want, talk to some local contractors that take up old carpet.

Back in the early 70's I made one just like my hero Fred Bear did in the Archer's Bible. It worked pretty good for awhile. I think it was about 4 layers thick. Hitting that front grade stake (leg) was no fun though.

Here's the ones I did freehand. I collected the cardboard from visiting a job site of a shelving installation being done by a former co-worker of mine.
The boxes didn't allow heads or legs, just torsos. These are attached to feed bag targets I made and hung out in the woods. I have 10 bags out and can shoot them from both sides and also made pig silouettes too.

A couple of years ago I made several cardboard turkey cutouts. Some one called the cops and said I was practicing shooting my former department manager in the head. I will admit that it was much easier to hit than my foam deer target.

I made a cardboard deer decoy years ago but never got to find out if it would work or not.... Because.... as I sat up in my tree stand with the decoy way out in the middle of the alfalfa field I had a small 4wheel drive pickup with what looked to be two high school age young men rip out into the field and snatch up my decoy and speed off.lol
I was so amazed that I sat there totally astounded. What just happened?
I broke out into laughter after giving it a moment to soak in......lol I bet those boys were surprised whenever they got a chance to check out what they had just brazenly heisted...lol

They are still around but hard to find locally. Before Sport's Authority went all Politically correct and yuppie I could get them for $2.00 a piece there, but they don't carry anything like that now.

Dicks carries those cardboard ones.I use the x ray paper targets they are large and have a cool way of showing the organs(X ray like)and they are colored and cheap six to a pack for like 7 bucks.

I have seen them at Dicks also they are about 5 bucks though. seems like a waste of money for what it is. The one reddogge did free hand is way better! I will have to try that!

I say freehand but what I meant was the first one was freehand and then I used it as a pattern. These are identical to what the Army used as a qualification target to hunt at Aberdeen Proving Ground in the 60s and 70s for both archery and shotgun.
