I asked to make for me some silhouettes in a size as close as possible to real conditions in order to practice placing the shot in the exact place:

N/A It is not the same hitting a silhouette than a well placed shot.
- Thread starter Emu
- Start date
Jack rabbit $700 MN ... +- 41 USD.
Javalina $1,200 MN ... +- 71 USD.
Coyote $1,400 MN .... +- 82 USD.
But they are thick..... They will last for my grand, grand children in perfect shape..... In 1500 years when some Anthropologies dig in my home they will say:
"These are animals that people of this culture used to adore as part of their religion."

I use an old yard ornament. It's bent pretty bad , just need some hammer hits . The 3 fresh hits in the head were from a Taipan Veteran Compact .177 at 50 yards.

i picked up a multi-pack of cheap 7 1/4" circular saw blades for like 15 bucks on ebay .. they cut and drill pretty easy and sing nice if you hang them with wire .. pretty satisfying to shoot .. they hold up fine to .22 anyway, i pound the crap out of them with the blitz at 1000fps, barely dents em ..

I have a bunch of steel targets. The nice thing is no need to hang fresh paper targets., instead just a quick shot of spray paint and it's gtg . It is definitely louder than paper targets.

Nice targets!
The only metal targets(besides pellet tins) I have are some beat up Crosman squirrel resetting targets and some .22lr spinner targets.
I like my squirrel targets because it's 2 shots. First shot knocks over the kill zone paddle, second shot at the lower paddle resets the KZ paddle.
The .22lr spinners are nice because you can tell if you hit it or grazed it by how much they swing. A solid shot with my .25 and they flip over, if you graze it, they just swing back and forth.

Try these:
(3)- 6 1/2" circular sawblades at Walmart $10.44 use as hanging targets

A miss to this small target do not necessarily imply a miss to an animal in hunting.
That is the advantage that I see in practicing shooting silhouettes of animals as real in size as possible.
What counts is a well placed shot.

correct ! but hitting this small target in all conditions consistently , you are better prepared to hit the perfect kill shot on live targets.

I do have the small steel chicken and his friend. But 1" is about my smallest . Its easy to see where hitting and if it's centered . But ya I might need to make some smaller half inch and quarter inch targets.
