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!

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.

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.

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

That would be a great project, but could you show how to build one with a hammer and a carpenter's saw? I do not have a wood working shop like that but I would love to make one of these.

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.

Would a tarp work for the face instead of the grain sack?
@GunflintDesigns6 жыл бұрын
I think so, but my guess is it would just wear out a little faster.

Old pillows work great too.

Will feed bunker wrap work to stuff the target.

I don't know for sure, I haven't tried it.

can you use tarp as a face target and use old clothes and the filling you used for your target.
@GunflintDesigns7 жыл бұрын
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.

Cardboard box filled with old clothes works great. Good thing is when the box is wasted just get another box and cram everything in including the old box!
