I'm looking for suitable black paper material for making new gun game drop targets with.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks!

Quoted from belairjoe:
dont know what gun game your working on but i cut out some animals for a couple of dale guns.best material i found in black was using the black backing from picture frames..this material will not curl or fold from moisture and is tough enough spin,or pop up as targets with out ripping or hollowing out hole to mount them..a bitch to cut out with razor knife but this best i found so far..good luck on your gun game..just got a chicago coin shoot out myself

I don't need the targets perse. I want to make some spare parts for my Bally Midnight Marauders.

I've got a laser so I'll be cutting them out with a laser and also cutting stencils to airbrush the neon blacklight activated paints.

I wish I could find the picture frame backing material in bulk sheet!

Thanks for the idea!

Quoted from PinballAir:
I used laminate (most people call it formica) that is usually glued to particle board to make countertops ( pre-granite)
I found it to be strong, paintable and drillable. Does not curl and takes a beating.

Do you have any pictures of finished targets from this method?

Playing with laser cutting the targets. I'm thinking I'll try some black mat board for framing photos and art.

I'll be laser cutting a stencil setup for it as well!

Quoted from PinballAir:
Is that wood or laminate?

Wood. I am however going to try the mat board that you would use for framing pictures and such.

Trying to reduce steps. If I can use a Black color material then all I have to do is Laser cut the stencils and make a fixture that I can literally just change the stencil and it locates perfectly Everytime.

I think I've found a good method for my tooling. I've got to dial it in a little better but here's a first one on Mat board!
