Looking for some targets of life sized animals. Anyone know of a good source? Time to do some field type shooting!

For field shooting, I like to take a large piece of cardboard and then in the center of that put a white paper plate. I attach that to a piece of wood and my goal of course is to hit the paper plate. The cardboard helps me determine the drop of the projectile should I miss.

I've never ordered from here but not too long ago someone on here mentioned this:

Thanks for the suggestions.I have done the paper plate thing, but wanted some realistic size wise and shape wise to learn where exactly on the body to hold at different distances. And the targets link above does have realistic targets, but not life size (at least for deer and elk). The best suggestion I have gotten is to go by a home depot type store and pick up some big sheets of cardboard, then cut out the target I want. I may do that.

There are some life sized weather proof paper targets here, they are expensive but if you buy the ones you want and use them to make some silhouettes, I like to paint them a bit when I do that. Lee

I usually cut my own shilouttes out of cardboard. They ain't pretty but resemble a deer (almost)

I have one of the BC deer shilouette targets as seen about 3/4 of the way down this link. http://www.birchwoodcasey.com/sport/target_index.asp?categoryID=4&subcat=8
It works well for teaching my kids where to aim as well as what the correct sight picture looks like.
