Whether you’re shooting in the yard just because, hey, you like shooting or whether you’re trying to improve your performance, you need yard targets. Sure, you can go with the can on the fence. It works and it certainly is a smaller target, you’d definitely clean up our shot. But why do that when you can get yard targets that actually look like what you’re hunting. We aren’t talking about those bulls eye targets, you can get targets that look like that deer or that turkey. You can even get targets that have the bulls eye right where that shot should be on your prey.  A can can’t do that.

What are we talking about here? Well, you’re about to find out. Champion has some great yard targets out that are high visibility, interactive and have multi-colored impact halos so you can easily identify hit locations. Look for VisiColor when searching for targets, these are the ones with the various colors that show you when you’ve hit something.

Champion also has targets specially designed to help you get the right shotgun/load combination for your next turkey shoot. The target is a life size turkey and has rings around its colorful neck. You shoot at the vital zone and the rings help you to determine if your load produces the uniform pattern you need to be sure you hit your mark and your shot size will get your bird. These targets or checking your shotgun pattern and adjustments you can make if needed. Great little target.

Not to be outdone, Birchwood Casey has your splattering targets, and they are fun.

Birchwood Casey calls these Darkotics because they make the animal look really mean and ugly. They have a wild pig and a wild looking buck, too, and when you hit the target the area around the hit shows up as a neon green or white halo, easily visible so you know you got ‘em. The kids will love these.
