Good post, but a couple of tips: First, construction adhesive in a caulking tube will work well for the foam pieces. Second. you can strengthen the back with one or two layers of old carpet, or add an old rubber welcome matt to the backside center. Third, if you spray the ends of your arrows with Pam, they pull right out, which also lessens the possibility of bending them when they're extracted. And lastly, you'll need a frame to hold the target steady so a gust of wind won't topple your target with your (expensive) arrows in it. Thanks for posting this. The foam sheets are a great idea.

Suggestion: - Cut the foam 12" wide across the 4' measurement. - Three sheets gives you 24 pieces of 2" x 12" x 48" foam. - Stack them up and cinch them together with two ratchet straps. Now you have the 48"x48" target like yours with an important difference. You're shooting into the layered side so as it wears out, you can shift layers around for prolonged life and eventually buy one sheet to rebuild the entire worn out areas by replacing just a few layers. Hopefully that makes sense. That's how I built mine. I use it mainly for long range practice, for the kids and for behind deer targets.

I use it as a backdrop for my much cheaper smaller target. At 70lb draw. With a broadhead. It will stop it. Just unscrew the broadhead and pull out the arrow.

How's the target holding up? I was thinking of making something similar to this just as a 4x4 backstop for a bag target for my niece. I saw that Harbor Freight has a 4'x4' (4 x 24") 1/2" thick foam floor fatigue mats for $10. I figured a layer of these mats on the front would slow the arrows down a bunch, and maybe add another layer on the back to prevent over-penetration if needed. But, if the arrows are easy enough to pull, and don't overpenetrate, then it could make a good backing for paper targets as well.

Get good at short distances before walking back and you don't have to miss the smaller target. Very portable. Hang some carpet behind for kids. Done. I still use compressed EVA foam polyhedron for br-heads (has anyone got a DIY alternative for this?). Old boogie boards cut in half and taped together is kinda OK.

Growing up, my whole family used to shoot our bows and arrows all summer long. We stacked 3 bales of straw and never wore them out all summer. A bale was about $0.50, which is about $5.00 today, so today you can make an effective target of straw bales for about $15. My Dad shot a longbow with a 45# draw weight.

I'm tempted to think a layer of OSB - which I can get almost for free, behind a thinner layer of foam might make it relatively easy to pull out the arrow. I'll try this since I've got that material on hand.

Hey there, i did a similar build. But im having a hard time pulling out the arrows. Like it's impossible to pull at spine 300-400 50 lbs. Im not sure how to fix that. I did 6 boards bound by duck tape and the arrow penetrate 4 of them and are super stuck.

Try twisting the arrow before pulling. I have the same problem with them being really stuck and this works for me. After you have used it for a while they get easier to pull. :)

@@KoalityofLife pulling 1 arrow is with alot of force possible. But a second third etc. Is not doable because stamina drain from arrow 1. However i found rhe solution for me. I screw off the pointy training arrow head. And leave the arrow without a arrow head. It does cavitate more, creates a bigger hole. But it pulls out without effort. I now ordered stomp arrow heads to protect my arrows. But no arrow head does the job.

I don't know if that foam is plastic faced but, titebond or elmers will glue styrofoam really well.. I would still put a smaller bag target in center to make it last. Especially shooting a compound. But, I bet you could make a replaceable insert with another sheet when you wear a hole through it just by making a tapered square plug (like 18 inches square on front and 12 inches on back). One durable target I have see used at ranges around here is that tarred fiber board used to sheath houses cut in strips and stacked. Can be hard to get arrows out of if you're shooting a compound and it's fairly abrasive I think too. You can do that with carpet too...very heavy though. Have to make sure kids can't tip it over on themselves. A 48 x 48 inch Reinhart target is like $1800 I think.

That foam is way to hard. That foam does not heal. No chance that it will last even a third of a high guality foam target. In the long run, this will be atleast twice the price if not more per arrow. If you want something cheap, go with bag type targets.

Not true. This is simply a backing. You can put any sized "target" or bull's-eye you want on it. I agree, smaller target, smaller margin of error. It is better to shoot at a smaller bull's-eye, again this is a backing, awesome to have when you have the space to shoot at 40,50,60+ yards. Can't wait to have the space to build myself something like this. I like this specific idea. Just concerned bc I shoot 73 lbs not 40 lol
