I was happily surprised whilst at the recent Morwell shoot, to see that Mark has now introduced some excellent small game 3D targets. Of course, the rabbit target immediately took my eye. I've been looking for a good 3D rabbit for some time. In fact, I had one ordered from the US, which was going to cost me nearly AU$100, but the order fell though as their warehouse burnt down (so they said
).Anyway, back to Mark's 3D targets. He supplies not only rabbits, but a nice cat and a small pig 3D target as well.
The targets are well made. They come unpainted, but that's no problem if you're a do it yourselfer. They seem to hold up well after repeated arrow hits and the arrows can be extracted without too much effort. The quality of the finished product shows in the fine detail of the small features and the lack of unsightly bubbles, etc.
I think there's a real market for locally manufactured 3D targets in this country. Compared with how much it would cost you to import 3D targets from the US, these targets are an excellent buy. At the Morwell shoot the rabbit and cat targets were AU$50 and the pig target was AU$150.
I've attached a photo of my rabbit target. Please note, I have painted some details on my target (I couldn't resist
) and I've burnt in a larger easier to hit scoring zone on the 'off' side of the target.Mick
