Just use an old box and sketch one out. That's what I have done in the past. Dicks sporting goods has them for about $4.50 or so If you have one of the stores around you?

Just make sure that you put something solid behind it to stop the arrows because my 35# can easily go through card board like a warm knife through butter.

If you shoot thru them, the cardboard is rough on fletching, too.  We used to shoot thru silhouettes cut from bicycle and refrigerator boxes.

I traced a projected image of a deer on a big piece of cardboard, then cut it out.  I use it as a template to trace out more.  Like everyone else said, put it in front of something that will keep your arrows from passing all the way through.
