Round Straw Bale For Backstop?

<< < (2/2)

+1 … They make great backstops but best if angled or sideways as others mentioned. I’ve only shot the flat side of round bales a handful of times and those arrows were never seen again!

They work great-been using them for years-I put a sheet of metal roofing over the top to protect it from the weather.

Plus one for me

Only time I have ever used them is I use to rove in my uncles hay field and lost a couple arrows that disappeared in the roll  :o and they had broad heads on them, had to about tear the rolls up to find the arrow so the cows didn't, :) guess they weren't rolled rolled tight enough. :-\ I would think if they are rolled tight they would be great.

I use round corn stalk bales.  They seem to be tighter rolled. My arrows don’t pass through them.  I tried using hey bales and they seem to be looser rolls.  I use the hey as back stop for my foam deer targets like others here.  The corn stalk bales are little cheaper too.  Mine even came with white plastic wrap already on them.
