I need a Target

Ideally I was thinking of taking a peice of plywood, create a stencil of a dartboard and spray painting it. Hopefully one could make a functioning board and play some paintball darts.

... are you using the normal balls or the reballs. If your using reballs then why don't you just tape a piece of cardboard to a string and hang it from the ceiling, I'm doing it now, I have the old barrel condom board, its super strong like trojan ones. If your using normal paintballs then I ask why? Just shoot at one of the bricks on the wall, mark them first with chalk or something.

Lets just add in some sorta magical mythical crap.

Shooting at a single thing hanging from the roof isn't all the entertaining, or difficult. Also outside I don't have any brinks to draw chalk on, which would wash off with the paint. The idea was to play darts with the paint, a challenge and can be used for competition.

I'm sure I could judge something without doing it too. What are you doing it outside, go buy a dart board and shoot at it then, since your wasting your money on paint anyways.

A dart board could be more expensive. Not to mention possible fall apart. Also I don't think the board is big enough to judge were the ball hit. "Did I hit the bulls eye or just 25?"

You don't get it do you, a big dart board is the same as the target I talked about, same size as one of the portions. Its essentially the same thing, when you hit it it moves back, thats how you know you hit it. But go ahead and make a giant board if you want to.

Yes but unlike your tube each section has a point value, thus making aiming key. It's boring to just shot a brink or a basketball siitting around. A dart board lends to playing darts.

What tube? What are you talking about? I'm sure aiming isn't 'key' needed to hit a small target on a string. Well just draw your board on a cardboard box, and your done.

A cardboard box would fall apart, I'm looking for something a little more permanent.

Permanent=wood with spray paint, besides the damn thing will start to absorb the paint and will probably start to smell after a while.

Cardboard lasts for quite some time speaking from experience.

Fine then put some varnish on it. And it will still last longer then the cardboard.
