Safe backstop for primitive broadheads?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Colona:
I like it! Many thanks, all!

Pat B:
I've used feed sacks stuffed with plastic grocery bags or plastic sheeting for field points but trying to get a broadhead out is difficult unless you push it through.

paulc:
Roadside couch cushions, two thick work okay for me.  I have to pull the arrow completely through as I've never been able to get them to pull out backwards without hanging up on cushion.  FWIW Paul

Mailman Bill:
The cardboard box stuffed with plastic bags work.  If the arrow will not come back out easily the way it went in go ahead and push it on through.  Its easier to replace the feathers if they are damaged when pushed on through.  A dab of glue on the front edge of the feather will help to keep the feather from catching on the push through.

Pat B:
If you crunch up the feathers just hold them over a steaming tea pot. The steam will straighten out the feathers.
