Picked up some construction paper, packing tape, and black paint today. Made a bunch of targets and still have material left over to make more. The construction paper was a variety pack 250 count. Pulled out the yellow, orange, and pink to make targets with. Separated the red, white and blue going to dip those in some fiberglass resin and put between some boards with some c-clamps to make some nice micarta. Layered the colors about 10 sheets per color so when you put the dremel to it should turn out real nice. Will drop the micarta off to a local kid ( 16 ) that is trying to get started making knifes. Think he will get about 3-4 sets of scales out of it.
Just a regular guy.

I took my homemade shoot and see targets with me today. A local LEO officer is helping tune up my shooting. He has a range in his backyard that he does CPL classes, basic pistol and carbine classes, defensive pistol and carbine classes, and low light classes. I asked if I could bring the homemade targets out to see how they worked and he had no problem with it. For my test sample I didn't spend a lot of time on them just taped the fronts and backs of the construction paper and painted over the front. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures but they worked decent enough. Not as good as the store bought ones but you can definitely see the round hits on them. We started from 50 yards and worked our way in moving and shooting with the rifles I could start clearly seeing my hits around the 35 yds marker. Transitions to pistols started at 25yds and it was definitely very easy to pick out hits at that range.
I think I will take the time and do some nice ones for myself. Maybe do a white coat of paint let it dry lay down a 5 ring stencil and paint black let it dry pull the stencil off should be able to see the rings from 50 yards.Just a regular guy.
