One of the main reasons that I never went ahead with the project was that I didn’t think a target from a decoy would hold up to shooting as well as it did. Well apparently I’m not the only one who’s wondered this, and this guy’s built one. Besides, they fold up so they’re easy to store anyway.Ī year or two later I came across them while I was looking for something else and thought “I wonder if these could make decent 3D archery targets.” They didn’t really cost me a lot, so even if I were to accidentally ruin them trying to make a 3D target – it wouldn’t be a big deal. I found two turkey hunting decoys for about $5.00 each if I remember it right.Įven though I’d never been turkey hunting, I bought them both figuring that I’d find some fun use for them at some time. This is the aisle that has all of the clearance items of the entire store, not just the sporting goods section. Turkey Decoy 3D TargetĪ few years ago I was walking through a Walmart and decided to check the clearance aisle.

You can get most of them at any of the big box types stores, and if you can’t find them locally they can all be ordered online.īefore we get started, no matter what type of 3D target you decide to build, buy or put together, get yourself one of these – it’ll make things a whole lot easier when you’re using them. These designs are all intended to use materials that almost anybody should be able to get their hands on. Let’s take a look at a few different types of 3D archery targets that you can make at home. With a few bucks, a little imagination and a spare afternoon you could throw together some pretty cool 3D targets that will keep you shooting without breaking the bank. If you’re on a budget and don’t want to shell out $200 and up for a high quality 3D target, what about making some for the backyard. You could buy a cheaper, economy target, but those don’t tend to last nearly as long (or look nearly as good) as a quality 3D target.

You do get what you pay for when it comes to buying 3D targets, and the better, higher quality targets tend to be on the expensive side. With Rinehart and Delta McKenzie (the leading 3D target manufacturers) you’re pretty much guaranteed quality, but most of their targets aren’t cheap. If you’ve priced 3D archery targets at all lately, you probably found that they’re a bit pricey.
