Gimlis Ghost:
Back in the 90's I was cleaning out a storm damaged storage shed and found several stuffed animal toys that were a little mildewed, not nasty but not worth cleaning up.
I used a large teddy bear and a small polar bear toy as targets. The smaller bear was about the size of a ground hog.
The large teddy bear was so big and tightly stuffed that it would stop even arrows from a powerful compound bow.

I had a beautiful Plot puppy in the 80's that ran loose most of the time. One day my mom told me my dog was having a yard sale. Somewhere he had found a dozen or so stuffed animals and brought them home.
He would line the toys up in a perfectly straight line parallel to the street. He walked back and forth in front of them like a drill sergeant . If one seemed a bit out of line he'd growl at it and bat it back into place with his paw. Then he'd sit at one end of the line as if showing off his new pack.

Hawkdancer:
Them Plott Hounds Are pretty smart!  Training them is another matter!  I showed my miniature wire haired Dachshunds in obedience and once the judge told me she just had to get one and that if I could train hounds, I could train anything, meaning dogs - little did she know I was a Special Forces Sergeant Major >:D >:D (lol). Also showed Irish Wolfhounds!

Wow...I was not expecting such gruesome pictures. I mean, that one Eric Krewson posted of the coyote split completely in half made my wife scream and my cat to run under the bed. That's some amazing handywork getting them back together though! If I ever run across a munched up foam target, I won't be afraid to bring it home! How does the foam do with broadheads though? Is it worth making a form and sort of casting your own target out of it?

Eric Krewson:
Broadheads are a no-no, so are compounds and crossbows. I also bought what we call "legs" which are the center section of a 3D target that was about to be discarded after being replaced by new. I shoot broadheads at these center sections to make sure they are flying true.

Here is one from a mt goat next to my bag target, I bought it for $5.

boomhowzer:
Where do you buy these things?
