Gimlis Ghost:
Years ago I found furniture moving pads on sale and bought several for my dog to use as bedding. She has a habit of tearing holes in her bedding so they lasted about three months each at most. I took her last one, which was in rags and stuffed it in a cardboard box and taped it shut.
Its worked very well.
The dog has been sleeping on a large piece of foam backed carpeting I found on the side of the road. She managed to rip it into wide strips so I took the most narrow strips and cut then square to fit into a shallow box.
I was surprised that the furniture pad proved superior to the thick collapsed foam padding of the carpeting.

Allyn T:
If you use cardboard stack it flat so the edges face out, if it's layered the other orientation that's what catches on the points.

Eric Krewson:
If you are in it for the long haul and plan to be in the same house for a long time I would suggest you make a dedicated archery target that will withstand 10s of thousands of shots and the weather as well. I have changed my target cover 4 times when it has become shot to pieces front and back, a new cover costs about $20 now.

I also have collected a full set of 3D targets over the years from buying shot up ones for about $20-30 after a tournament and patching them. I don't put them out much anymore.

Here is mine;

Eric Krewson:
The key to shooting 3D targets is to have enough to spread your shots out over and not completely shoot just one target to pieces.

I bought this one for $5 , fixed it and have been using it for the last ten years, it still looks really good because I have a lot more targets to spread my shots out over.

Eric Krewson:
Here is how I fixed it, I use Great Stuff insulating foam, then paint the foam with the same colors as the original target. The racoon was $5 as well and had a hole in it you could put your fist through.
