Nope............have the cubes and regular 3D deer targets........but like you see on some 3D ranges.............hay bales can make good homemade targets.............plastic bags/plastic wrap stuffed into grain/seed bags works too.

Oh yeah.........many years ago I did make some SUBSTANTIAL targets......you still see them in indoor ranges.......they don't weather to well (rain kills them)...........I'm talking targets made of tentest cut into 8" strips and sandwiched in between 2 X 8's. I recall cutting tentest on a table saw and making a substantial mess with all the dust lol. Sandwich the tentest vertically between 2 X 8's and compress them with threaded rods. You can use these outside........but keep them tarped from the rain.

What is tentest?...........it's a particle board sold in 4 X 8 sheets......buy the stuff that doesn't have a black (tar) coated surface. This used to be common in house construction.....not any more........but it's still sold in lumber stores.
