Target Patterns?

[oldsparky]

I am looking for some target patterns to make some steel animal targets for myself. I thought I had bookmarked a site that had some wooden cutout field targets that a bunch of templates. But I can't remember the web page. Any one run across templates?



thanks, Sparky

I searched for animal (bird, cat, wild etc) silhouettes on the net. I would download the pic, bring it into a free software, trace the silhouette, save it as a dxf file (this gives a vector line drawing) then import it into my Solidworks and create a solid model. I can then scale it to the size I want, add kill zone and mounting holes and add material for mounting if needed. It is the ready for laser cutting. What shapes are you looking for?

Yep that is it. I must have deleted the link. I only have half a dozen of the steelplinker shoot to reset targets. And they can't be bought anymore so I need to make a few more. I set up yardages on my wheel yesterday and I would have liked to have enough that I could put them out and then no more walking back and forth. Funny thing I set out spray paint cans and focused on the writing. I thought that was great, then I found out targets appear different to me than adjusting for perfect print. So I had to start over. thanks Dave!

I also have been searching images and saved a few. Out to the barn to try cutting one out.
