Is the zombie fad still around? Maybe? If shooting at Zombies is your thing, you will like Gun Fun Target’s (gunfun.com) Zombie Target Pack .

Says Gun Fun Targets “I have a son who wanted a pellet gun for his 9th birthday. He got the gun and some targets. Then we got more guns, and I kept finding myself buying more shooting targets. But there’s not a lot of choice out there when it comes to targets, and you find yourself shooting the same target over and over again.”

“Since we’ve been in the printing business for 10 years, we decided to design our own targets and make something that’s fun to shoot.”

Measuring the Zombie Target Pack Target size is 19″ x 24″, there are five zombie themed targets to pick from, including axe weilding Rhonda. Providing six specific shot spots, these targets can be used for fun and practice.

Paper Targets

Paper targets are beyond essential to success for today’s shooters. I like paper targets but in today’s day, there are no shortages of targets to choose from that fit your style and purpose.

If you are going to pull the trigger, make sure you know where the bullet is going, it is not just a part of shooting, but a core requirement of responsible gun ownership.

The enormous choice in available paper targets we now have to use during practice is fantastic! Especially the targets that can be ‘repaired’ in order to use again. It has also proven to be a great vehicle to advertise the golden rules of using firearms. Such as, “make sure you know where that bullet you are shooting is going to end up!” Also “what is beyond that target you are shooting at.” If just these two rules of keeping control of where your shot is going and where it is ending up is printed on EVERY package of targets sold,… Read more »
