Yo' Buddy 3-D Targets

[palmettoswamp]

Was surfing the net looking at 3-d targets and stumbled on these Yo Buddy targets. No prices listed, but I like the looks of that turkey target. I'm going to call them tommorrow and get some prices and the lowdown. Wonder if they use a foam that is like Rinehart?

Dont know about the bear and deer, seems you would want something that is close to the height of real game, guess you could stack it on something to get the desired height. Turkey looks to be spot on.

Looks like they are made out of Mississippi.

That turkey is pretty cool. The others are a bit sketchy. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.

I hate it when people dont put prices on stuff. I bet that thing is at least 50 dollars or better. Let us know what you find out.

I know exactly how you could make those things, but im not sure how much it would cost per target to make. Might be a good little business...

Found the turkey target on-line and it is selling for $124-$136.....More than I was expecting.

Geeze, I way undershot that thing. The foam is expensive dude.

All you really need to do is make a clay sculpture of your target, then make a 2 piece fiberglass resin cast of it and fill it with flex foam. Lets go into business my man.

It does not seem hard, just probably time intensive to make these targets.

Myself and another friend have been working on a camo pattern for the past 2 years that is based on hunting in river bottoms and swamps....Hope to have this done and ready for field testing by spring of 2011. The name of the camo and the pattern will turn some heads!

Sweet dude! Let me know if you need any field testers.

I don't think it would be to time consuming once you got the forms made. The foam sets up pretty quick. dunno how good the market would be form them. I'd give it a shot if I had the extra money. Im always looking for a way to make a quick buck. (No pun intended). My last venture was a bust but I got 6 good tree stands out of it.

If you need a field tester up north let me know and we can work something out, but can't wait to see what you come up with always looking for new camo patterns other than the big 2 (MO or RT)

Guess they lowered the prices...their www site has the turkey target @ $99 w/ free shipping in the lower 48 states.

Got the word from several owners of these targets, that they are crap. Dont waste ur hard earned $$$
