3d is a form of target archery, where life sized three demensional animal targets are set on a course to simulate hunting. Each target has a set of scoring ring 8-10- 12 points with a hit anywhere on the target being worth 5 points. Got to go check what the dogs barking at .

yup, 3d targets are a hoot !
when i was a kid we belonged to an archery club that once a year would host a hunters round after the "target" tourney. this was long before commercial 3ds became available . at the time we had an artist that would carve ours out of foam and paint it. each club that entered the tourney brought a target or two. of course the quality wasn't there but it was fun and after each hunter got a shot at each target they pretty much were unusable .
nowadays theres a slew of diff animals available lifesize. quite a few african animals are available albeit tough to find.

checked out prices at african3d. prices were approx. 28 bucks for a rabbit up to 500 for a wildebeest. using 7.8 rand to the dollar. no info. for shipping to the u.s.
am guessing for several targets it would be at least 1,500-2,000 bucks to get the crate to customs. depending on the point of entry i'm guessing at least 500 prolly a bit more to the backporch.
weight x volume either by freighter or air.
haven't been to cabelas in a while, i'm thinkin 'they might have some of these.
