That is essentially what I do. I have a couple of 3-D deer targets that I practice on when it is getting close to game time. I have my own '12 ring' right up the front leg, about 1/3 of the way up the body....
I checked them out and what they have to offer is right up my alley. Price is a bit steep due to the shipping so about $52 for one target(includes shipping). I think the way to go would be to order a few at a time.
Dittos on Tom's suggestion using the Safari Targets. The difference between the sweet spots on deer sized African Animals and American White-tails is about 2" so in all reality the "used up" 3 D Deer targets are a good bet as well. The front on shots the 2 D targets present is fairly indicative of the shots I had with a rifle. I doubt the animals know you are using a bow.
In reality the difference between non-African animals ans African animals is minimal. The problem in the US is our targets,,which often seem to be based more on center of mass. I almost bought a Glen-Dell 3-D buck for a great deal once but I looked at it's target and the silly thing had me high scoring in the stomach. This picture by the International Bowhunters Education Foundation shows a whitetail in real life. Not really any different than an impala or blesbok. Straight up from the legs and 1/3 from the base of the chest.
The Morrell sheep is decent, the deer and a couple others are poor.
Understand anatomy, aim where it should actually go and you'll do fine over there as well as at home.
