Target to shoot judo points at?

[wisconsinteacher]

Right now, I am shooting at tennis balls in the back yard to change things up.  I really like it and it helps me focus.  Do you have any other target ideas for shooting judo points in the back yard?

ive taken a piece of plastic foil like you can cut out of big bags or even better pieces of burlap and roll them up so that you get a sausage of about 3-8 inch diameter and 8- 16 inches long. before you roll it place a wooden stick (good use for tip end of broken woodies) inside so that it sticks out 2-5 inches. tie them up and just stick them where you want them. Look a bit like upright standing ground hogs (at least with my childish imagination) with a short stick theyll fall over, with a longer one they stay upright when hit.
Have fun

I use pop bottles or milk jugs.  The pop bottles are about the same size as a squirrel so it is great practice for small game.

Plastic/practice golf balls. Available at wally world for about $2 for a bag of 12 in the sporting goods dpt.

I use empty juice bottles (64 oz), empty milk jugs, pretty much anything that goes in the recycling bin I have used except for glass.

My back yard has pine trees that give off pine cones that are handy targets. Makes me pick a spot.

I use gophers or grouse!

Tree rats

Dirt clods, tufts of grass, leaves, pinecone, a piece of cloth. Heck anything you can just throw down in your yard.

I like kicking a softball along the gound and shooting at it as it 'runs' away.

If you do it in a fairly flat area with twigs and other small obstacles it will jump and change direction on you to add to the challenge.

I'm with Centaur, I've shot more arrows at pine cones than anything else. Now if a guy could just hit the darn things.

I hate to be a 'stick in the mud' but I don't think I've ever put anything in the yard to shoot judos at.  Just shoot at whatever catches my eye; off-colored clumps or blades of grass, leaves, mole hills...OHHHH, how I love shooting at mole hills.  'Cuz, you know, I might just accidently keel one of the little buggers sometime!

Stumps, skwerls, golf balls, rocks camoflaged as stumps, leaves, clumps of whatever (preferably not do-do).

Obviously you have never been to the Muzzy stump shoot. Look up the thread and you will have a sense of  how to make a really cool interactive target.

As the leaves start to fall, shoot at them on the ground.  I shoot pine cones a lot too in addition to clumps of grass, etc.  With a little imagination there are thousands of targets in my back yard.

Second the tennis/wiffle balls.  I would avoid a basketball.  When was a teenager and lived at home a basketball seemed like it would work just great for a target around the yard...ahhhhh NO,
I shot that thing from about 10 yards dead center and the arrow literally came right back at me.  After that stumps and leaves seemed just fine   :rolleyes:

It wont help you now but in the springtime dandelions are fun! I never have trouble finding things to launch judos and blunts at. I could kill half a saturday walking in circles on an acre of land shooting at twigs, pinecones, grass clumps, etc. etc. Slowdown and look and you'll see............ targets are everywhere!!!
