I’m looking for sites that carry full-size paper target animals. I need them to make templates out of, that I can use to outline on a sheet of steel. That’s so I can make them into steel silhouette targets. I already have the chicken, pig, turkey, ram templates, and have already cut out the chickens and pigs. I’m looking for some variety silhouette targets to cut out to shoot. Things like squirrels, a fox, coyotes, doves and so on. I’ll be going over to a nearby bowling ally to make an outline of a bowling pin to add to my assortment of steel silhouettes. 

I’ve done extensive searches on the internet in this area, with little success. There are some sites that have animal targets, yet they are not life size targets of the animal, or they are just a partial picture. If they were actual full size, I could just cut them out and use them as my templates. I know I have a duck decoy somewhere around the house that I can use to make a template. I am open to any suggestions. If someone has templates of an animal that might be interesting to make out of steel, if I’m interested in it… I’d be willing to reimburse the postage fee for it. 

I’ve made some stuff from home, such as a wine bottle, a craf, a vase, and a few other items. Those items that are small and go no farther then 200 meters I plan to shoot at standing…no shooting sticks at those. I’m looking for a real challenge and to hone in my shooting skills with my Sharps 45-70…yes using only lead bullets at 3/8” and ½” steel. I figure that standard 22s should be safe to shoot at them as well. No closer then 50 meters. 

Sharps 1874,

     Anything that is on the internet can be printed to any size, so I am having a little trouble understanding your question.  If you want to get some good silhouette shapes, you might try the shooting gallery link i posted recently in response to another thread.  There were about 30 or so different figures on that which you could size as needed.  By the way, the elephant there, if made full size, would trump even westerner's bear silhouette!   

HTH, Froggie
