Cheap targets?

<< < (2/3) > >>

DC:
I just went through some challenges with this. https://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,64928.0.html

The target I was using was a 1/2" plywood bow filled with plastic bags and covered with recycled target face material(heavy duty plastic tarp stuff) I found that when I was shooting fron 2-3 yards I was breaking arrows. I changed to a burlap sack filled with rags and hung from the ceiling. It's free to swing and rotate. No more broken arrows.

Hawkdancer:
A 6'x 6'  piece of carpet hung loose on a frame may work, too.

PEARL DRUMS:
The Tyvek wrapping that bunks of lumber come into lumber yards wrapped with would fill a target bag fast.

JEB:
Instead of doing all the running around gathering materials for a cheap target, just buy a cheap bag target. You can get them for under $50.00 at most places on sale. Time and gas is money.

Knoll:
This may be specific to my area of the country, but I doubt it . . . .

"Farm suppy" stores usually have small utility trailers for sale. Shipments by suppliers to these stores include styrafoam blocks in the shipments. Stores use the blocks to support tongue of trailers in the outdoor display area. These stores accumulate far more of 'em than they can use. They are free to those who can make use of 'em.
Blocks are approx 12 x 12 x 24" in size.

I stack couple/three with stakes through them and into ground. There's about a dozen of these target stations throughout my lil course behind our property.
