Homemade backyard 3D course
« on: August 09, 2012, 09:48:00 PM »
Been shooting 50 -60 times bout every other evening. Got tierd of shooting at the bag target over n over, so i ran up to the local goodwill store to see if I could find some assorted stuffed animals cheap. This is what i came up with for $9.50. Wish I would have done this a long time ago. This is a blast.

That's too funny TS...hope there aren't any kids in the neighborhood.  Could be a traumatic experience for someone...

Now that I think about it, my wife has a teddy bear collection somewhere...hmmmm!

Great idea!  With two small kids we've got buckets of stuffed animals.  First volunteers for the firing line will be those animals that make annoying noises incessantly!  Oooh, this could work for aerial targets, too.

The ultimate 3D course, lol.  Take up less land space, easier to carry in and out, and vengance on loony tunes.  "I'M Hunting Rabbet"

That's fantastic.  I'm swinging by the Goodwill on my way to work today.  They are right next door.  I have a backpack filled with old clothes that I throw around in the woods for practice but a small haul of stuffed animals looks like even more fun.

You're not the only person who likes to shoot at stuffed animals.

Hey guys, throw a rubber blunt on the end when you are doing this, helps the animals stay alive alot longer.
