P&P look like they have a bit of life left, but not much.

Petey does just fine yet, but you can run bullets right through his vitals and he will barely flinch. Paul is waitning to try the .38's from TAZ, if the weather changes before April?????

That's why he didn't flinch when I was shooting at him in August, the bullets passing right through him without touching anything.

Old Petey did require some selecttive shooting. Sometime yu could barely see him move as the bullet slipped throuh his COM.

Where did you get those OM? I bought some of the metal ones and then found out the DNR will only allow the ballistic foam targets used on the range. I don't understand their reasoning, and neither do they....

Midway USA, ballistic polymer targets, by Champion. They com in a single in 2 sizes 5-1/2 and 7 and in orange or black or the 3 targets of 5-1/2 in orange or black. They only had black when I ordered but I Ace spray paint in orange and yellow.

I have two orange 5 1/2" Pete Priarie Dogs. They definitely save a lot of paper shooting. I thought about buying the trio as 'refills' for my two singles. I like the singles for my tire stand. I plan to make another before spring. If you already have a suitable old tire, it costs about 4 bucks.
I use a 4.10 - 4 front tire off my Snapper mower. Other sizes would work, just so two 1/4 inch holes drilled 6 5/8" apart would be on the sidewall. Take two plastic water supply lines from the hardware. Cut off to 1/2 inch less than tire width, 3 1/2 in my case, including the fat end. The plain end gets a 1/16" hole drilled through a quarter inch up. Push the lines thru the tire, slip a washer over the plain end and a cotter pin through the 1/16 hole. You now have a Pete stand that works with .22. Slip a rock, brick, whatever in it for bigger calibers.
I guess a bigger tire would work for the "sisters".
