    I have approximately 150 of them on hand and could care less if someone frowns.

    I've heard of a range having an issue with a guy who put his mother-in-law's picture on a target, and I've heard of ranges not selling anything other than blank, colored silhouettes, i.e. no generic-photo bad-guy with a gun targets, no half-rotten zombies, no turban-wearing males with RPGs, etc.

    I would rather use a grid target with an aiming point for rifle shooting, but use whatever you want. Someone else shouldn't tell you how to have fun.

    If you were at Honey Island, they dislike human shaped targets. Oddly enough, the RO's enjoy talking about how they will use their FAWTY FIVE in self defense.

    4-6" Shoot-N-C Targets are headshot size.

    Many years ago a friend made up a bunch of generic "divorce lawyer" targets. They were quite popular.

    I shoot whatever type I have on hand . If someone is offended by a silhouette then they can leave or get over it . If the range has a rule against it then you decide .

    That's what I do. With the exception of.
    Many years ago I went to Honey Island. Back then, my wife worked as manager of a Video Store. She would save up the cardboard standees and we would blast them with the AR's or 10/22's The Rp thought it was great till one day someone complanied.

    Really? I didn't think libtards went to gun ranges. Not a gun range I have ever gone to has ever frowned upon silhouette targets. If Honey Island has that problem I guess they won't get my business. Next PETA will try to ban deer silhouettes. Lord save us.

    Also, don't shoot animal targets at Honey Island (even though their .22lr range has squirrel poppers).

    I use those targets. I don't really care what others think about the target I am shooting at. Life it too short to worry about petty things like that.
