The kids are not essential to the project, but they do make the building process far more enjoyable - however there is an additional cost in time when involving them. They are not cheap, I am still calculating the total invoice for them. As far as where you get them, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to answer that... you should look for a 6th grade health teacher for that one.

I packed that plastic into an old car tyre, with cut out one side as the front of the target and wrapped it with the same material like you... it works like charm, it has a handle and is highly portable... when I rip through the front face I will just use some tape and nylon trash bags, to patch it up... It will add layers on top of it and will last a long time I hope. Thanks for the video.

A little advice, I used A LOT of grocery bags to make mine. Pack them in the target individually (meaning don't stuff a bunch of bags into one bag and then stuff it.) it creates voids where your arrows won't stop as quickly and it's a pain to try and back them out once the fletchings make it into the bag. Nice vid!

Great project video! I built a target using the pallet wrap plastic (not as nice and fancy as your though, lol). I got mine from The Home Depot and Walmart receiving areas for free (they were happy to give it away!) I wadded it up and then tightly packed it into the target that is 1.5' deep. By packing it tight, I estimate that I've literally shot thousands of arrows into it and never had one pass completely through. That plastic is really "grippy" and stops the arrows extremely well but the arrows can still be pulled easily! A few times so far, when a soft spot developed, I just pulled out the pallet wrap plastic, re-fluffed it, wadded it up again and then firmly repacked it and it was good to go again!

Mark, great idea...You could use old carpeting or scraps of carpet...You lay it down flat as if carpeting the inside of the target and just build the layers up...You'll NEVER have to replace it again...You caulk every square inch of seams where the wood meets, marine varnish the wood and side it with roof shingling...It'll be heavy as a rock but your kids grandchildren could use it or until Jesus gets back! Nice job...

I took two hay bails and joined them together with a ratchet strap . the strap is able to compress the hey so well that iv never had an arrow poke through. if you start to get a bit to much penetration, just advance the ratchet till its stupid tight again. the only downside to it is its heavy and sheds when you move it. I don't know how dense you can compress the hay if you make it more than two, but two is plenty for compound bows.

If you staple the target face material to the 2x4 frame and still do to pocket holes to make the face plate when your target material needs replaced take the face plate off and staple a new one over the old one them put your face plate back on gives you more support plus your stuffing won't fall out.

I've made a similar target - Found the best thing to stuff it with is the thick black plastic that often covers pallets of goods - I can get free from work where it is waste. Stops pretty much most things including crossbow bolts. Made mine with chicken wire stretched over the frame first then stapled a square of plastic tarp over that. when the tarp is shot out I just replace the tarp and the chicken wire keeps the stuffing in place. The wire doesn't effect the arrows at all and the target is practically everlasting with only minimum maintainance.

That's a good idea for a filler. Too bad it's getting hard to come up with tubes these days. Another option is wool. My buddy's in-laws have sheep, so he has a free supply of wool and he uses that to stuff his target with. It is VERY effective, but makes the target a little heavier.

Fantastic build. I have built a few targets myself and utilised a lot of different materials as stuffing. Wrapping plastic, worn carpets, hay, and my favourite coir ( coconut fiber). I also use a backing material to stop my arrows from protruding, It's called MCR (Micro Cellular Rubber). MCR is used for making floaters.. Over here in India I get a 12 feet by 12 feet board with 4" thickness for about 12$. Con's : you better have an arrow puller.

I'm guessing that quite a few people would be doing back-flips at being able to turn out that group at half that distance. lol ( I used to live near an archery range, and spent a lot of time there. And I've seen more people than you'd believe miss an entire 6 ft square target bale at 20 yards. )

That's a good point! I shouldn't have said it that way I guess, but different people have their own personal definitions of good or bad. I grew up hunting from tree stands in Minnesota and Wisconsin where a long shot might be 20 yards, so there was never much reason to be better than that. I live in Wyoming now and 60 yard shots are pretty common (I missed a 62 yard shot at a mule deer this year). I like to practice out to as far as my bow can shoot so that I have a lot more confidence in the closer shots.

If you put a Piece of carpet behind the grain sack it will hold up longer and stop arrows better

Yep! Old carpet is a good way to slow arrows down.

I've made many similar targets. I might do a KZbin video where I make my single shooting direction version. I've also gained access to a semi truck mud flap; I think I will make it the center of a two direction variant. The old grill wheel idea...I can't believe I didn't think of it before.

Would rubber from a turf football packed work better or worse?

Ok neato, the main thing I needed was the filling recommendation. I created a fantastic, olympic-sized target without a wood frame to worry about hitting with expensive arrows (a hunter shoots closer and might miss less?) but I wound up sinking $70 in PVC "rubber" shower lining. I just fastened alternating layers of free spongey foam and the lining sheets, by "sewing" them together with giant stitches of string. They were a little loose, but leaned up against supports in back it was phenomenal for a year or so of constant use. I may try this route, here, as there's plenty of pallet wrap at work, but I do worry about hitting the frame with Easton A/C/C arrows. I could at least make that wide, front, inner frame part out of PVC "wood" or something an arrow might survive. Thanks

A crossbow is moving at a much higher velocity - this style would still work, but you would want to pack is as tight as possible, and mane make it a few inches deeper.

I had a nice crossbow. It was a ton of fun but you can't hunt with then in Oregon so I got rid of it. You might be able to use them for varmint hunting I'm not sure. But definitely not for deer, elk, or bear

Old clothing works great for stuffing also. I wore out 3 bag targets with the same set of clothing. If the center gets "soft" just open the bag and rearrange. weight might be an issue with a target the size of this one tho.
@GunflintDesigns
@GunflintDesigns 6 жыл бұрын
Yep, old choose is a good and common fill. I think with the wheelbarrow nature of this design moving it around wouldn't be a problem, but the weight might make it hard to lift into a truck and transport anywhere.

Interesting idea... do you have a source for some? I think they would work great for stopping arrows, they use a lot of that to stop bullets after all. My concern would be the purity of it... it there was any chance of something other than rubber getting in there, I'm thinking like steal belting or valve stems, there would be potential to damage arrows. But it that's not a concern, the only complaint I might have would be weight. I think it could be a really good option though.

Can I ask your FPS or your draw weight on your bow. I have a crossbow that's got about 400fps behind each bolt. Will it stop that kind of weight and speed

It could definitely be done that way. If I need to build another one some day, I'll do it with simple tools and show that process.

A tarp would work too. It would cost more if you had to buy one though. If you had one that was wearing out it could be a option.
