I'll bet this guy does a brisk business but I don't think you'll see as many at the public ranges...
I still have my zombie Paris Hilton though...

New targets being sold... (Original Post)

(135,425 posts)1. Is that being sold as an actual, serious target or as an 'ironic' artistic statement?
I think it's in horrible taste, no matter what it is, but the context could be a mitigator, if only slightly.
The Zombie Paris I can get behind...the target I find horrifying.

... other than it looks like it's made for production to me.

I came across this which might be the context--pretty ugly.

The Eureka Gun Club has 50 or 100 packs of 'Trayvon Targets' for sale at the range.
Over the weekend they sold out of 1000 targets with 4000 more coming on Tuesday.
Kids 10 and younger get a free target and a NRA button.

I hope the NRA gets a lot of pushback on this, if they know about it.
FWIW: I m NOT against responsible gun ownership at all.
