Portable target
Oct 28th, 2021 at 12:40pm
 
Probably not good for rocks, but tennis balls and rustyballs should be ok. I’m going to try taking this target on the road to do some slinging beyond my usual backyard spot:

If this works well, I might tweak it and have a sign printer make me some proper Balearic targets. What do y’all think?

I like it!  The only real limitation that comes to mind is that there will need to be something to hang it from.  But there's lots of options for that kind of thing.

Nice slinging there too! Thumbs Up

Nice one !

If you went for a wider mesh with slightly larger holes it'd be a little less wind blown and more rock resistant.
Love the printed target though.

Is it a golf chipping target ?

Also what does the t-shirt say ?

Also real nice shooting Thumbs Up

As far as Balearic targets goes.
It's just a 50cm circle.
So maybe just do what Joe does.
Make a simple template from a sheet of cardboard and just spray paint the centre white or black, or whatever.

@Joe thanks! It was a better than average slinging session for sure Smiley
It also helps that my normal target I practice with  is half this size. 

@C_A I was thinking about going to a print shop that does the mesh signs like you see on construction site fences.  Those are tough, cheap, and can handle the wind.

The target is actually a sling target that Iron Goober sent me a year ago. There’s a whole pop-up tent that goes with it, but it’s a lot of work to set up the tent part and I don’t really need to in my yard. The yellow circle is a 50cm circle.

The t-shirt  is from my wife’s nursing school.  It has a photo of Chuck Norris on the front and says “Chuck Norris’ tears heal incurable diseases”
The back says “but only a nurse can heal Chuck Norris “.
… but what the back should say is “but Chuck Norris never cries”

Oh well… a perfectly good opportunity for a good punchline was missed by a bunch of nurses who wanted their nursing school shirt to be about nursing instead. Some people just don’t get it 🤷‍♂️
