Default what do u use as a back stop?

I'm sick of using straw bales as a back stop. They are to difficult to get rid of when they go bad, usually after one season! What do you use or have seen as a back stop?

I have a feed bag stuffed full of rags as a backstop. The more you shoot at it the better it works. When the bag gets shot up, slip another over the top. I've have the same backstop for over 20 yr.'s. I hang it between 2 posts or just prop it up on the ground and put a target in front of it.

I always practice out of the 3 stands I have placed in trees around the yard, so I use the ground. A lesson I learned years ago, practice like you hunt.

I'm lucky that my yeard ends in the woods so if I miss my arrow just skips into the woods and I track it down.

i'd have to agree with PY on this one, i make sure my sights are right on from the ground then start shooting 15ft or higher, much easier than searching threw leaves and other forest clutter...
