For everyone waiting on the fox target we have started testing. The first should be ready in about a week.
Now all I have to do is work on the colour. Price will be $150

That's a woeful fox - looks more like a platypus, sorry!

I don't think it looks very fox-like either, not sleek enough.
But if I wanted to hunt the Queen's corgis then I'd be in the market! :D

i thought it was explained earlier that all the target were made stockier deliberately so they were durable, or did i dream that. i don't think a plumpish fox is goin to affect your hunting skills. you'll still know a fox when you see one in the wild and still have to hit its vitals.

i think all the targets are great, and a good job has been done in making them. they're excellent for their purpose.

You got it right Otis, It is made fat for a reason.

I like it. I am now only deciding whether to get two pigs or a pig and a fox for the school kids to shoot at.

Don't take it so seriously Otis. We all support Mark, I have a cat target, and I am sure he can take a bit of ribbing! I would have liked to see the front legs further forward a touch, the fox grinning over its shoulder at me as they usually do and the tail lifted. Just my opinion.

Received 2 pigs for the school kids to shoot at yesterday. Thursday is our archery day so we will give them a test tomorrow. I'll post some pictures of how they handle.

The finish quality is great. Well done Mark on creating a great product.
