Cool I have done similar, but went the extra step one time and cut them out of scraps of plywood, also used a hole saw and cut out a kill zone plug to knock out.

Now I’m gonna have to break out the plasma cutter…..Nice job!Dave

Different targets that you can reset just by pulling on an attached cord. Different ranges, shooting position's. Some in open setting others in brushy setting. and If you are motivated I think there's a market for them. Field target ranges, particularly the better ones are like sporting clays for air rifle shooters.Sounds good...Ya, it's just too hot here to make some up with good stuff.Them were quick scrap metal I had and cut out that the templates fit. ( As you can see the rust pits in it )Last night I printed some extra shapes to make more templates. . I got new 1/8 and 3/16 sheet steel to use once it cools off to knock some more out.Ya, a bit more fun then just square or circle stuff for sure. Also found the bat to be dual purpose...As a target or mount on a spotlight to call for batman..lol..
