Searching for Hog Silhouette Steel Targets

I have been searching on the internet without much luck. I am looking for 1/2 size AR500 steel hog silhouette targets that look fairly realistic (a lot of what I have seen is fairly blocky or stylized). If anyone has a source, I would appreciate a link or address.

Whether the target is a hanging target, stand target, free standing target, or needs to be propped against a backstop because it has no stand, I can probably make use of it.

I can readily find the tiny .22 knockover targets. I have found some 1/4" free standing targets that are too small for my likes and were not proportionately realistic.

Thanks.

What are you going to shoot at it with?
If it's not too powerful, thick wooden targets work quite well.
Paste a picture on the wood and cut it out to suit.
If using wood sounds unlikely, think bowling pins.
It's surprising the strength of wood and glue.
Cheap, too.
Just a thought.

Various rifles, hence wanting AR500 steel.

Your thought is good, but just not what I am searching for.

I have had Jerry at http://handgunsports.com/ make me some custom AR500 targets, 3/8" thick will do up to 300 win mag (no AP). You will have to provide him with the dimentions and such. I have him just fit my order in with normal production so the cost is very reasonable.

I have a couple of their targets, but didn't realize they did custom stuff. Thank you. I can certainly provide a silhouette and dimensions. Cool.
