Ziploc bags, Duct Tape, Corn Syrup, Red Food Dye, Styrofoam head, shatterproof manequin torso + white/shirt mask = SHOOT N SEE (BLEED)

That's sick destro. Great idea.

My method works but is really ghetto. I take big orange circle stickers and put it on black or white backboard. It is not high quality but I can almost always see my shot placement. Another really cheap alternative is to color a normal target with highlighter. It's not that great but I can see my shots much easier upto about 15-25 yards. Neither way is really a good alternative but they work with minimal effort and expense.
heres how i make mine. works pretty good, and very cheap.
bright colored paper, clear tape, flat black spray paint.

cover the paper with clear tape first, then spray paint over the tape, let dry.

Have a REALLY reactive target: Shoot 'n C4.

I did try the one in Bellmore; for FF, beats most others except perhaps Wendy's. That could be a tie.

this only works upstate. i mainly shoot at brookhaven and they dont allow human looking targets even zombies....its a great idea though, cant wait to try it
I used to look shooting the spackle tub covers at calverton. Why did they stop letting people shoot them anyway?
I used the paper n tape with spray paint idea this weekend for the kids and there bb guns.. Works very well.. Thanks
I like nokeler's idea a lot. Definitely going to make some of those for my range session on Monday.

Thats stinks because more then half there target stands are useless.. I thought may be I can do something similar or buy one of those cheap ones like $60 for there. Guess thats out of the question????
