Donnie D's Homemade SELF HEALING ShootNC Type Targets

[@JamalGood-l1r]

Great video sir! I truly njoy making those targets! And you’re right, the tape is a pain in the ass!

[@D148521]

Yep, and this is the best way, the way I now make them kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXSnmeYosSnp9U.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

GREAT ideas! Very clever idea for the stick-on targets. Thanks for sharing.

[@jforo3281948]

That is such a good idea (all of them) never thought about diy targets like those, thanks for sharing.

[@D148521]

Thank you for your comment.

[@joee1085]

Thanks for the great idea with the mat! Planning on trying one of those, and some 1/2" thick grey floor mats from harbor freight for use as larger targets.

[@D148521]

Should work great.

[@brownmc1956]

I would never have thought of a kneeling pad, very original, well done and thank you.

[@bungalobill7941]

Buy a black rubber stall mat from Tractor Supply. Paint it white and you have a shoot and see target that will last for thousands of rounds. You just paint over the bullet holes with white spray paint. The mat is self healing. You can stick target dots or small bulls eye targets right to it.

[@D148521]

Sounds interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks.Donnie D

[@locobadger3376]

Do you use just one stall mat? How much penetration are you getting with a 60 to 70 lb bow?

[@randysingleton4790]

I made several of the cardboard and duct tape targets tonight and glued printable zombie targets in the center and I can't wait to try them out.. They look really cool in black and yellow especially for less than a dollar a piece. I did notice when i was buying the tape at Walmart that the yellow and red are 20 yards long and the other colors were only 15 yards for the same price so I stuck with the yellow. Thanks for sharing.

[@D148521]

+Randy Singleton Hope you like the targets, and thanks for the info on the lengths of the duct tape. I had not noticed that.Donnie D

[@joshketum1046]

+Randy Singleton How did they work

[@randysingleton4790]

+josh ketum Very little difference between these and the expensive store bought targets

[@joshketum1046]

What caliber did you use?

[@randysingleton4790]

I shot a 45 but my friends shot everything from a 380 to an AR15 and the targets all performed flawlessly. I will make the zombies smaller on the next ones as the shots through the regular printer paper didn't show the ShootNC effect as well as the black areas did.

[@giog1313]

Thanks for the info. Awesome idea!!!! Gio

[@rjhyden]

Awesome, I love my fellow southerners. Will try it soon! Thanks so much!

Good job for a nice idea.

[@D148521]

Thank you!

[@flashgordonmd]

great idea!! and i just noticed that con-tact brand adhesive shelf liner (bright yellow) is $8 for a 9' x 1.5' roll on amazon. might not only be a little cheaper than duct tape, but a lot easier to apply. good work!!

[@D148521]

Great idea. Thanks.

[@Glockman1011]

Excellent idea! Definity going to do it!

[@fenomeno71]

Clever, making one tomorrow with the kneeing boards I already have

[@goriverman]

What a great idea, love it. thanks

[@D148521]

Be sure to view my UPDATE video on these. I shows a better, usually free substrate and also shows to use the orange duct tape, Best visability. They last forever. I'm still shootin the first ones I made. Hope you enjoy them. Donnie D

[@atomicdog71]

Fantastic video. Excellent job! I'll be making a few of these very soon.

[@lupasering2764]

this is brilliant idea Sir

[@D148521]

Thanks. Hope they work well for you. Donnie D

[@D148521]

I'm gonna check out those mats, but I think the duct tape will be easier and quicker to make. Thanks for the idea.Donnie D

[@MrZola1234]

I love the kneeling targets Donnie. I am going to try to find some cheap ones a little bigger than this and cut them into Cowboy action shapes. The cardboard ones would work well too I recon... These are perfect ideas for the outdoor range where I go... they don't allow steel except in certain lanes they rent. What do you think is a good thing to hang'em too Donnie? I'd like to hang them various levels 3, 4 and 5 feet. ??? May just staple them to a stick?

[@D148521]

MrZola1234 I sometimes use wire hooks and also my rarget rack has plywood with screws driven from the back, I just push the kneeling targets onto the screw points. Hope you enjoy the targets. Thanks.Donnie D

[@livingthedream335]

Hi Donnie, thanks for all your efforts and knowledge sharing! Since the foam knee pads come if various colors, have you tried just painting them without using duct tape?

[@D148521]

No, but the way they work is that the paint does not adhere well to the duct tape, and therefore flakes off, or flashes when the bullet strikes. You can try just painting the pad, but I don't think it will work very well.

[@livingthedream335]

[@paultrimble9390]

Hello I’m experimenting with surrand wrap. got a clear glue, or clear elmers glue spread that on colored paper or poster board. Then flat black paint. Whole role surrand wrap dollar store kind cheap. Anyway good video I thought let u try that see if works (my dog won’t let me shoot when I want to) she chase bbs don’t dare try big guns. Lol. Maybe u get to it before I do let me know. I’ve had supplies few weeks now. Had death in family and other things pop up u know how it goes sometimes. Thanks I’ll let you know in few days.

[@D148521]

Thanks! Try the ones using kneeling pads or packing foam and duct tape. I'm sure you will like them best.

[@paultrimble9390]

@@D148521 yeah gonna get some next time out harbor freight. Used the dollar store paper protectors real thin 20 for a dollar. They work we shot bbs and pellets worked good had to put few light coats paint on so stick good. Used 220 , 400 sandpaper didn’t really help just light coats.

[@D148521]

They work real good. Thanks for the comment. Donnie D

[@mrgrivers1]

I like your style Donnie D. Lol Nice vid old man and a real cool way to save a buck. P.S. On my way to the dollar store. Lol

[@victormagana1862]

Great idea. especially the kneeling pad. how will it hold up to larger than .22cal. will it seal it self. so far you and gunguy40, have the best I've seen on visicolour type target...thanks

[@D148521]

victor magana Mine have held up great. I've shot them with everything from .22 up to .308, and no problems. Have even used them to pattern test shotguns.Donnie D

[@victormagana1862]

thanks for the info

[@peetduplessis7401]

Thanx, Donnie! What is the material that the kneeling pads are made of? I am planning a air rifle and .22 fun shoot, including a lot of people who own weapons but almost never go shooting, as well as a lot of young people. In my experience reactive targets wakes up the Riflemen in ordinary folks ;-) Do you perhaps know how to make the chalk coloured discs, for use with air rifles and .22's

[@Snarky357]

[@smoideen]

Thank you Sir!

[@carsmax]

amazing idea!!

[@jackp2925]

Will it work to use bright yellow contact paper and apply that to the kneeling pad material and paint the contact paper black.

[@D148521]

Not sure what you mean by contact paper. It will work with pretty much any surface that is smooth and slick enough to keep the paint from firmly bonding to it, so the paint flakes off fairly easily. Give the contact paper a try, and let us know how it does.

[@BensMis-adventures]

Heya Donnie, I put together one of these today and I could not get the duct tape to stick to the foam board. Is there any special tape you use? I ended up wrapping the tape the whole way around and then painting it up. Works perfectly but uses a LOT more tape in the process, and here in Australia the tape is kinda expensive. Thanks for the video though. Ben

[@D148521]

Ben's Mis-adventures No, never had that problem. In fact, it can be a bit hard to remove when the tape gets shot up to the point you need to replace it. Could be the type of foam board you are using. There are so many different kinds. Good luck. Hope you can work it out.Donnie D

[@BensMis-adventures]

Thanks Donnie, it could be the foam, it oes look the same as yours but may have a different texture. It has like a waffle type pattern on it. May be able to sand it off smooth.

[@micknkazslater5977]

Brilliant thanks

[@D148521]

Thank You!!

[@micknkazslater5977]

@@D148521 I am going to make one, i used clear tape and spray paint on foam board before, but the yellow tape over that mat is definitely a huge improvement. great idea Donnie.

[@D148521]

@@micknkazslater5977 I think you will like them a lot. Also this will work fine using regular foam rubber, the same stuff you use to make seat cushions for chairs. Fairly inexpensive and you can get it a Wal Mart. Works great.

[@svernwarunos546]

bristol boatd works great very cheap

[@JU57US]

If you're going to cover it with duct tape anyway, why not get one of those cheap, thick yoga mats in the sporting goods section and use that instead of a small kneeling mat? For about the same price you can cut it up and get 5 times the amount of targets.

[@D148521]

I'm sure that would work fine. Anything similar, packing foam, foam rubber, etc, works fine.

[@leadfarmer4life335]

Genius! Thanks!

[@LWSParents]

Hey Donnie, I dont know if your familiar with it, but do you think fatigue mat from Harbor Frieght could be a substitute? I've never seen that knee thing your talking about. Or maybe I have and I'm not thinking straight. I thought it was wood up until the last minutes of the video. Heres what I'm talking about- www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-anti-fatigue-foam-mat-set-94635.html

[@D148521]

I've got a couple of those mats in my shop, and they may work, but they are kind of thin. To find the kneeling mats, look in the garden section. Also find my video "Donnie D's UPDATE Self Healing Shoot n See Type Targets". This is the best and cheapest way to make them. Good luck. Thanks, Donnie D

[@macchun6641]

Go to my vid titled Donnie D's UPDATE Self Healing ShootNC Type Targets. By far the easiest, least expensive, and best method yet.

isn't packing tape expensive, my parents tell me not to use it cause it is

and if your lazy like me and dont bring targets back in after a session...this set up is water proof!!

[@D148521]

The shoot and see SELF HEALING ones are pretty much waterproof. I guess if you left them out too long the tape would probably start coming off, but I have some outside now and they are fine thru a few rainstorms anyway. Good point. Thanks. Donnie D
