Dead Wait

My son and I threw these together one morning before we went to shoot. They work very well. I was on another board one day and ran across these blocks. If my memory is correct, the blocks are 12x14. The 2x4's were scraps that I picked up after Ike. Everyone was building fences at the time and throwing them away so, I figured i'd need them one day. Go figure. Anyway, the blocks come from TSC. Free. Boards, free. A handfull of wood screws from someones fence job, free. Time spent with my son, Priceless. The smaller of the two was built at what we thought would be about the height of a pig and the other about shoulder height of a deer. I'm pulling about 66 to 68 lbs and have not had a pass thru yet. I only shoot at 20,30,40 yds. The foam seems to hold up pretty well in case your wondering. Apparently, when TSC gets there new trailers in, they are packaged with these blocks. They use some and discard the rest. I'm not sure if you can see it in the small target but, there's two hits in the red tape. One is mine, the other my sons. I'm pretty proud of the little guy. It was a 20yd shot from the tri pod stand for him. That fancy shoe he has on his left leg, well, that's his leg brace he has from his broke leg at christmas time. It's been awhile since he's been back up in the stand so, i'd say he's doing pretty well. The taller target has a shot just above the blue x that he made at 30 yds. He's still practicing his 30 yd shot's. Anyway, yeah, i'm very proud of him. Just thought i'd share some fun with you guy's. I'm a do it yourselfer kinda guy. Hope you like.
