Does anyone have a setup that they could show a picture or tell about so that i could make one.I've been using hay,but it's starting to cost alot know.Please share ideas.Thanks
-
sure thing, Take card board and roll it like a dart board wold look or cut layers of cardboard about 24" By 8" And glue the edges of each piece of cardboard until ya have about 2 foot by 2 Target Hope this helps or did I misunderstand the ?

I use a corn feed bag stuffed with, rags, paper, plastic etc.
-
I use a square box about 2' square by 6" thick and stuff all the advertising flyers I get in the mail in them.
-
Old cotton pillows work great.
-
Get a feed sack burlap or synthetic, stuff it full of plastic grocery bags. Stops a target point very well and its easy to remove also. Won't work with BH's.

I prefer burlap feed bags over poly bags because they are not effected by UV rays but plastic grocery bags stuffed into a feed bag makes an excellent target. Most feed bags, if laid on side, is about the size of a deer. I hang them around the woods for a simple 3D range. Pat
ps, For broadheads, I use a recycle rubberized foam block I bought at a 3D shoot. Pat
-
I use a big block of styrofoam.
-
I also use a big block of foam. Its 4 feet thick 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. Should last many years. I got it from a building project at work. They use it to build on top of.
Before that I used old couch cushions stuffed inside a box and wrapped with duct tape. Works good as long as you put it away every time but that didnt happen :)
-
in my area of saskatchewan theres a lot of oil wells which means alot of tanks, they coat these tanks with a spray on foam,when they replace a tank or replace the foam they roll the old stuff into giant balls that barely fit in the back of a halfton. works great for bh's and its free if you pick it up on site. can be trimmed to any shape rectangle or deer.
-
Hung an old peace of carpet (thicker is better), than hung a number of tennis balls with a string thru then in front of the carpet, use blunts, rubber or Tarantulas are better,Your target will last forever, and the good thing is that when you hit a ball you can practice on a moving target now ;D
-
Good idea,Manny :)
-
you may not want to try my way because it took at least 2 hours to put it together.
The rolled Card board is behind the layered because my arrows kept going through the wood in the back, Dont' want holes in the wall.
