After reading about "our" guys who was on Mallorca, I wanted to get a feeling of what it could be like to slung toward such a balearic target. And I wanted it to be easy to take with me.
So I had this idea of cutting a piece of white tarp into 1.2 X 1.2 Meter with a hole 0.5 Meter in diameter.
( someone may translate that measurment into feet - I can not)

I added yellow tarp-holders in three corners.

See a pic here:   http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z472/Sindanis/IMGP1065.jpg

When I hang it up between two trees in the wood I added strong tent-rubber-band in three corners to take up some of the impact-force.

Se a short, shaky film here:

So now I can bring this with me very easy and put it up in under 5 minutes.  


Ideas for the future;
* something to add on the backside to collect the stones that goes thru the diana ( It´s no panic I´m far away )
* Or have a metal piece behind for a nice sound when hit diana..

Very smart indeed ! Real skill. I don't know if I would know to fix a thing like this.

How is it hanging on the trees ?

Good that I could surprice you with such an easy thing as a hole Thank you for your nice words.
Yes, for the feel of it, it´s not too bad.

Thank you for that praise.  Yes, it´s very easy to bring with you and set up.

I think your target is perfect, Ulrica.  It's brilliant in its simplicity.

I made one.  It`s simply a great idea.  It works just as intended, and can be carried in a big pocket if necessary.
I applied liberal amounts of duct tape to mine as reinforcement, because that`s what I do

And thank you.  It`s such an uncomplicated idea.  Everyone could have thought it out.  But you did it.

Really nice target. And always there is a chance that a curious elk will look through the hole
