What Are YOU Doing to Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse!?!?

As you all know, the threat of a zombie apocalypse is becoming ever more imminent. Now more than ever it is important to ready yourself and your loved ones for the possibility of flesh eating monsters taking over the world!!!
In the spirit of preparedness the Mann Family decided to take advantage of a recently discarded human silhouette used as a prop in educating the university about domestic violence and turn it into a man killing, innard devouring ghoul to aid in our doomsday prepping.
Here's how we did it :

We started out with our purple person cut out, some chalk and paint.

We used the chalk to give our zombie that pale grey dead look and painted on some tattered up clothes.

Then we added some cool oozing wounds.

Next was making the face look scary and gruesome. We added an eyeball falling out of its socket and a gaping mouth dripping with blood.

After that we just put some finishing touches like buttons and a belt as well as an awesome bite mark. We also added a wig and cowboy hat to give our zombie some personality.

Now we're all ready to use our guy for some target practice!



Here's the set up for our target practice. We had two pizza boxes with target stickers, two plastic targets that spun and swayed when hit, and, of course, the star of the show, Mr. Zombie.
We started out on the pizza boxes with target stickers to get our sights properly aligned then moved on to the two other targets and finally our zombie.We were shooting 22 caliber long rifles for awhile, then practiced shooting with a 22 caliber handgun and a 9 mm handgun.

Here's our Mr. Zombie after a couple of rounds:

Right between the eyes!!!!!

Emily shooting the 9 mm. She said it made her hand hurt.

Here's Mr. Zombie after a few more rounds with the 22's and the 9 mil.

A pretty successful practice day I would say. Zombies don't stand a chance against the Mann Family :):).


******* Some interesting critters we saw while out in the woods...Special thanks to Gramma for lunch, bug spray, and rescue services after we locked ourselves out of the car :)
