The Essex Hunter Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm looking to make life size fox steel target...have 10 mm steel plating & plasma cutter...all I need is a paper target to use as a template. I have come accross an american site but the postage is a fortune...anyone here know of any UK site tell sells them Just sketch it out on the plate with some chalk….I assume you just need a side profile? Even if you’re drawing is not picture perfect, at a 100 + yards as a target you will never notice the odd imperfections. Besides not all foxes are the same shape….especaily when you put a big hole in them.... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mereside Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 draw a fox on a4 paper throw away the inner fox and put up a large sheet of wallpaper or something similar and get a 110v lamp on a stand and use the template to get the size you require by moving it closer or further away and draw round the shadow,atb wayne ps you can then get it plasmer cut out of steel with a hole near the heart where you can slot a piece of armour plate in or a piece of 20mm and keep changing it,atb wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Tried to verify web-site but 'tis playing up at the mo'. Google 'twenga' and search 'fox targets'. There's one on the left-ish which is duplicated on the right-ish which is the one I use - £1.25 (the left one seems not to exist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 i think ive seen them at countryman of derby or melbourne gun for sale in the past.....i wouldnt bother using it out of steel too heavy and a l9ot of work for making holes in just use a piece of plactic like they have on for sale signs and cut it out. or ply wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) There's a free program on the internet that lets you print big pics onto A4 sheets, you just join them together and use it as a template. Can't think what the program is called, some weird name. Edit: here you go, not the one I was thinking of but does the same. http://www.blockposters.com/ Edited May 18, 2012 by 39TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 i could see that working as - zeroed at 100 yards, but shoot the stag at 40 yards - zero still on, and it looks like it's 100 yards away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Is it hardened plate because your bullet will go through 10mm plate like a knife through butter if its fox capable 12mm Building Steel, the common stuff, shot at 100 yards, fairly self explanatory, front and back....
