I was thinking that movers blankets would make a good backstop. The dimensions are 72" by 80" for a typical blanket. Im thinking even if I stapeled some 1x2 slays on it to help stop the arrow it would work... I have one blanket I think im going to try tonight at various distances

Pat B:
Just fasten it along the top of the blanket and let the bottom hang free. That way the blanket will absorbe the force from the arrow when it hits.

Scowler:
Interesting idea.  Keep us posted.

JW_Halverson:
Shoot blunts and you will have no problems with punching thru!

Well its not as good as u had hoped. I shoot a 55lb bow and from 25 or 30 yds the arrow punched right through.  A six fletch flu flu however did not. I also folded the blanket and shot at it this turned out better it only punched through at 10 yds. So I might make a target out of the blankets....
