My cheap new target.

[Dave]

Here is a couple of pics of my new target, it is not quite finished but you will get the idea. At work all the plastic wrap goes into a waste recycle bin that the company then has to pay to have removed. They were happy to fill a wool bag for me. :D All I need to do is compact it a little more, staple the top down and add some dots to aim at. 8)

It is packed well enough to stop arrows from a 70lb Mathews Outback and a 65lb Horse bow.

You would probably find that if you approached most companies and enquired about their plastic, they would be happy to fill a bag for you...especially if you supply the bag. It is cheap ( cost me nothing) and when one side shoots out I just turn it 90 degrees and start again. I don't know how it will go with broadheads, but I don't really shoot them into a target very often unless I am about to get away for a hunt and want to check flight.

Cheers, Dave.

I have the same type of target in my shed. Cheap as (free).
I already have a supply of bags to put over the others once shot out.

I wouldn't recommend shooting broadheads. They cut the bag up and can get stuck in the plastic! Don't pack them to tight as the get very heavy. They will last a long time outdoors as well.

Or even lost mates?

I've shot into bags filled with plastic and noted what appears to be traces of plastic melted onto the shaft. Has anyone else experienced this ?
