Nice job, Justin! I've made a couple of targes and they're loads of fun.
The only thing I would have done different on yours is make the radiating lines on the front uniform, instead of doubles and singles (minor quibble!).
As for the straps and handles on the back: I initially affixed mine with nails like you've done, but with usage (at reenactments) they all worked loose, so I ended up up replacing the nails with period-looking, dome-headed brass wood screws.
A sling is useful, too, if you're going to actually carry it....
