I have to agree with the last, archery targets are straw, with a canvas front, as in the lower photo above, besides being better for the arrows, that sort of target is more durable. Durability is why those wooden targets probably aren't for aircraft guns either, after being hit by a 100 round burst, they'd be matchwood. I don't know what they're for, I think rifle targets are paper, maybe the wooden ones are for airgun darts? Supposing they are targets at all, which the variation of the banding makes perhaps unlikely.

Get Flash, it will save me having to do screencaptures!

Thanks Richie for the video! It is obviously a training target looking at that footage.

The video shows German airmen in a pillbox witnessing target practice. It all looks staged, but is no doubt an authentic recreation of a training method. I think it is the cannon on a bf109 that is being used for this practice.

Interesting tracers from the cannon! Photographed by a stationary camera on the ground.
