My new steel target

[NorBC]

I've had this idea in my head for awhile now. I figure if i hit a grizz in the shoulder bone with my arrow I'm screwed! So I figure for best high pressure practice I should make this target.

everything was donated from my good friend Bryan at Western Pacific Metals in Terrace.

we took a 1/8" thick steel plate, and cut it at 4'x6'. I then googled a grizzly silouhette and did a larger free hand drawing with a soap stone on the plate. We then cut it out with a plasma cutter.

next up I drew a set of lungs, with a heart circle in them. The circle is for my compound, and the lung cut away is for my longbow. We welded 3 tabs, and drilled some holes. Now if I want to switch bows it's just 3 quick turns of a wrench.


we finished up with angle iron to hold the shooting block behind it, and a few tubes to hold the 10mm rebar which I then Hammer into the ground.

So far I've wrecked 1 arrow for my compound, and 0 for my long bow. It sure makes shooting exciting again!

Great and well thought out target NorBC , some old shag rug and glass eye might be a nice finish . Liked the photo build .

I love that!! Some 3D shoots have metal targets with cut outs and high scores for making the shot and a lot of laughs when you miss!! Great job!!

After spring grizz season I'll be donating it to the Terrace Whiskey Jack Archers club. Hopefully it makes some appearances in the 3D shoots up here.

You forgot to mention the sounds an unhappy shooter and the concurrent cash register in the local shop!
