Making archery range/practice place?

<< < (4/6) > >>

DC:
I hang a bag in the kitchen and any clean plastic bags go in. Grocery, potato chip, cereal box liners, stuff like that. One thing to note, the bears around here have come to equate the smell of plastic with food. The range had to stop using plastic bag stuffed targets cause the bears just tear them to shreds. You can imagine the mess. 100 lbs of plastic bags spread all over ;D ;D

GlisGlis:
yes cardboard would be much more ecofriendly

if you google around you'll find some good reference

I like that Gills. Looks like for a indoor range? I bet that works great.

I'm very fortunate to have enough room to shoot around equipment in our shop. Sometimes gets a bit crowded but can usually find a shooting lane. For a backstop I use thick cardboard and lean it against target. If someone misses arrow speed is absorded by trying to move cardboard. I don't miss much anymore most of the holes in cardboard are from arrows passing through old worn out target. You need to keep cardboard dry though.

GlisGlis:
this is not a target of mines. just picked up on google. I like the minimal and effective concept
I have a couple of foam targets and sometimes I use a cardboard box full of cardboard pieces. good for extracting broadheads

FilipT:
What about using glass wool in the wooden box as an target?
