DIY shoot and see targets

Post by joojoobeans » 30 Dec 2014, 9:18 am

I've bought a couple of retail shoot and see targets in the past which were pretty crappy, couldn't see much.

They're not cheap either :|

Pretty good DIY method here for making them and they look like they really work. This is the DIY target result

Yeah nice.

I've got loads of spray paint from projects left over.

Now I've got something to do with it.

Yeah nice one.

I like the shoot n see, but they're too expensive to buy retail.

Good find.

Clear contact? They'll be selling it every where as it back to school time for the kiddies.

Like the bunny version on corflute. Would have thought no need for film on that. Might make some bunnies and wallaby ones to practice off hand as well.
