The target I'm thinking about making will me made with that vinyl siding underlayment (sp)? The stuff looks like the same material that the Block target is made out of. You can find it at the large lumber yards like Home Depot. The material is folded and it would be easy to cut into uniform width pieces (where it's folded);) Then just put a plywood bottom and top on and compress with bolts or band it tight,, like the Block target.:)

Gimp,
Let me know if this stuff works I have been going to try it as well. I am about ready to dump the 200 bucks and buy one of those 3-d deer from the block company, but hate to spend the money.

Get a box and stuff it with rags and old clothing
There is a Cabelas target like that, it is like cloth all packed together in a nylon bag. It is a pretty good target but after we have shot into it for a while my dad's razortec is starting to shoot through it on almost every shot in the middle.

Walks,

There is a company making a target very similar to what you describe. The material looks very much like the construction material you're referring to. They control pentration with the tightness of the bolts compressing it. Every so often, they recommend taking it apart and moving shot-out areas, to different sections. Sounds like it would last for years.
