They fly when hit. I suggest you tie some Spyder wire fishing line around the base and then to an eye bolt or pan head screw in the back board.
20+ foot lbs is a lot of energy for these little targets.

It sounds as if you do not know what you have. They are airgun silhouette targets that are used to shoot NRA Silhouette competition with air rifles or air pistols. The complete rules are on the NRA website but basically you have chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rams which are shot with air rifles at 20, 30, 36, and 45 yards respectively(all offhand). Air pistols are shot at 10, 12.5,15, and 18 yards. NRA silhouette is shot with various guns from airguns up to high power rifles and varying distances and varying size animals. The airgun targets you have are one tenth full size, smallbore targets are one fifth full size and so on until you get to full size which are shot with high power rifles at distances of 200, 300, 385, and 500 meters. A full size ram is fairly big and weights around 55 pounds.
The animals depicted are wild animals not barnyard types and the sport began in Mexico. Probably more than you wanted to know.

I'm always happy to be educated Rick- thanks for posting. I did not know any of that- it does make more sense to have a wild chicken as a target- otherwise its just butchering!!
I just saw these on sale and figured I'd rig up my own custom target to plink- stay tuned I have some good ideas just need a trip to home depot and a night off!
