I have, Without access to a laser / plasma cutter It will be pretty difficult though. Suppose you could always make It out of square plate?

I used a thin steel rod, two bits of wood that stick into the ground then i bent a rectangular bit of silver steel around the steel rod place the wood vertically into the ground (make sure you drill holes into the wood for the rod and there you have a spinning target that resets its self. and you can make them all different sizes.

Most laser cutting places will cut stuff for a minimum charge (about £20-30) so if you get 3 or 4 made its not too bad.

 

You can google for DXF images of targets, heres a squirrel I found although its probably too cartoon-ish for a target! The laser cutter will be able to cut from that. I'd suggest something like 2-3mm Mild Steel Plate

I was lucky In that one of the reps from work had access to one so did mine for nout Suppose that would be a good option If you wanted a few made though. I can't remember what mine was made of but It's pritty heavy steel. I bought an AA spinner target from the midland and It's allready started to distort

 

I'd get you some oics of mine but can't even remember where It is now.
