Does anybody know if there are any of these for sale anywhere? I'm looking for buff, lion, anything really.

Thanks,
Colorado

Your local volkswagon dealer

That would sure be an expensive target.

ridgerunner,

A VW might be a little expensive as a substitute for a buffalo, but it would be downright cheap for a lion substitue these days

Creating the target is reasonably easy as you use
some of the photos on the net and get them printed
at high resolution and large.

It's the cost of printing that kills the thing as they are
expensive to print.

How about you guys pay my way for a Big 5 safari and I will have them all full mounted then you can shoot at them. What better target could you want. I will await the wire transfer for the cost of the trip. Just don't keep me waiting too long.

You can buy them for about SAR12-00 (about US$2) per target from our local hunting assosiation. (Buffalo about 3/4 size, lion close to full size, and leopard full size. Elephant and rhino not available yet.) want some sent over?

Ndumo,
I used to have the email address of someone in your hunting club who sold me several of the buff targets for a double rifle shoot several years ago. I am afraid I have lost the email!

Hi Rusty
I can sent targets to you guys, but I think the cost of mailing it will be very high. If you are prepared to cover that, I will sent some to whoever is interested.

I would be interested. Can you put details here so everyone can see? Maybe one Drop shipment and then redistributin would be better.

Hi Mickey
I will try and get an estimate from the Post office tommorrow morning. Then I will post cost on say 10? of each, and anyone interseted can contact me and I will forward it. Unfortunately, I am not home often, so after this first "shipment", it might take some time before I can do something like this again.

Ndumo, Thank yo for your offer!

I would like 20 of the targets.

Please let me know what the cost, plus shipping will be.
I will send you money to cover the costs. Would a US Postal Service Money order be OK ? If not please let me know what form of payment you'd like. I have access to SAR in Houston.

Best regards,

Hi Rusty

Here are the prices as given to me by the printers:
To USA: by air by ship
5 targets (21.72) (14.66)
10 targets (29.66) (16.72)
20 targets (45.34) (20.69)
30 targets (61.21) (24.48)
This is for posting only, and is aproxxemate. I used a exchange rate of R5.80 vs the US$. The targets sell for about US$2 each (R12-00). If interested, send me a email on karl@huntingsafaris.net , with order of how many of each (lion, buffalo and leopard are available), and I can send you details for payments. Hope it helps.
