Make a simple DIY Nerf target for under $10! It’s the perfect homemade nerf target for indoor and outdoor use.

If your kid is anything like mine, than you are most likely the main target for Nerf guns! When my son doesn’t have anyone to play with, he thinks it’s hilarious to use me as his main nerf target.

However, he recently received one of those giant Nerf guns that holds 200 bullets and shoots rapid fire. Being shot at point blank range sure does sting!

After being shot a few times, I headed out to the garage to see what I could use as a target for these mega guns.

Having the target spin, will give your kid a little more of a challenge. It’s great for indoor use or used outdoors. But I highly recommend storing it inside the house or garage so that it holds up for longer.

Homemade nerf targets are my favorite! Sure you can buy some in the store, but I prefer making my own at a fraction of the cost! My son is even wanting to build more targets for a Nerf themed birthday party.
