Well a very good freind of mine is having his annual Chili shoot Feb 24th. Great time and great freinds. I wanted to make something for Him and thought this target would be fun. It is what I call THE BAD APPLE CHALLENGE. It is made from a piece of 1/4" steel and I hand cut the apple with a grinder. The apple is 5.25" X 3.5" Took awhile but I really wanted to get this done for him. He plans on giving 100 points to add to the score of anyone who makes it through the apple.I know the apple is not perfect but close enough!LOL. So what ya think? <><      

LOL      

Those steel targets are a lot of fun. Our club has steel deer, javelinas, and turkeys with just a small vital cutout. We use them once or twice a year at 3d shoots. I like setting a steel target at close range, say 15 yards for the turkey, worth 25 points for a vital hit. Or you can shoot the foam turkey at about 40 yards with standard scoring. It's interesting to see who chooses which target and what happens.

Yep I think it will be fun to see arrows smashing into it. I plan on making another one for mine and shells good freinds Kevin and Sue of RER bows. They have a annual shoot in august which is a night shoot with tiki torches. Now that's a BLAST.<><

big ron you'd be safe, if they put it under 25 I shoot over and be good to go as well!!!!

Cleve, If they put it at 50 yards then youd be on the money. Just think of the bets ya could win LOL

Watch out for the ones that want to bounce straight back at you.

This is where I borrow someone's arrows to shoot!

Hey Dan,   I always try to find a lost arrow back in the bushes to use.   (finders keepers)

Why don't you paint a person's face(with a very nervous expression) below the apple.

Piece of cake!

I'll have my camera handy when Franks arrows explode! LOL!!! Bring plenty of arrows Buddy I'm shootin yours. LOL!!!

LEROY your the arra maker so I plan on shooting yours. BTW I already shot through the apple at 13yrds. CS no worry about them coming back at ya. I am sure after the shoot LeRoy will attest to that after all his arrow just smash into it and lay there. I will be sure to snap a pic or two for posting.        <><

good luck to whoever doesnt lose and arrow on that thing.

William Tell shoot!

Hey, that looks alot like the Bionic Bear shoot where only the heart was shootable.....tons of broken arrows  

Great Job Frank

Daniel

we have a steel goat in our safari shoot we shoot that at 40 yards every time someone shoots it you here people laughing. some even crying. LOL!!! its fun. iam getting ready for the shoot it is on the 24-25 of this month. so we will have tons of wood chips .

Our club has an small wooden coffin below the steel plate shot.
All broken arrows, get left there for someone with a shorter draw length to pick from

there  usally at all the shoots i go to most of the time there is two steel targets one a hole and one an animal with a hole in it. i usally shoot two arrows at both and some times break two just on those targets. they sure are fun it makes you scared some times though.have fun with them

Arrow makers love those targets.
