Targets for Cowboy Smallbore Silhouette?

All,

I'm interested in setting up a range at my house for Cowboy Smallbore Silhouette. I'd like to use swinger targets, but for CSS they are quite expensive.

Does anyone else have any ideas? What do you do/have seen done?

Thanks.

Shooting paper targets will teach you more, faster, than shooting steel. It isn't as much fun but it's cheaper and easier to set up. Anyway, silhouette isn't about fun. It's about work. Right, Dawg?
Somebody will know how to print the correct size target.

ajj,

A four letter word that has passed my lips on very rare occasions, and if I'm graced may never do it again. So the answer is wrong in so many ways.......lol

You can make these out of 1/4" steel plate and for smallbore you dont need hard plate, just go to the scrap yard and get enough bits and pieces for what you want. Use rebar for the frames. You can download a PDF of the correct size targets from the NRA website. If you have a cutting torch and a grinder you are in business.
