Found some used targets here locally they are asking about 70 bucks for them they look to be 1/5th scale .25" thick.

It includes

9 Rams
8 Pigs
13 Turkeys
14 Chickens

Would that be worth buying? My dad wants them and I know little of Silhouette shooting.

probably for rimfire use only (22lr). they are fun to shoot, but not as much fun to walk down and reset.

Yeah, for sure.
Use just one of each, hung from a support so they swing.
No walking down range and bending forty times for every round of practice.
But those mentioned would give a good start to a club match.
