RE: made another target today
i shoot a 70lb, 29" draw, 2004 patriot sc with 27.5" gold tip 75/95's. after a couple rounds i take it down and step on it to even out the bunched blankets if i've been shooting groups. if i shoot too many rounds in groups without doing this it will begin to push the blankets through the backside. if i just shoot 1 arrow per dot i can shoot pretty much all day, but it lasts longer if i give it the stomp once in a while. i resorted to making them after blowing out every target i've bought - expensive ones - within 2 mos. and that includes putting little pieces of tape all over them for varied targets. free beats the heck out of $80 a pop. hanging it also extends its life. its truly a 1 finger pull out target. + i figured out my bow hangs nicely on the 3-d's ear behind it. i actually make a similar one to replace the 3-d's vitals - as i shoot out the store bought ones in a couple weeks. the deal with the roaster is awesome. we get 5 lbs of organic fair trade at a time - roasted usually that day- for $6/lb. that's a better price than gourmet coffe that's not organic. they usually charge me $2 for one of the large burlap bags, but gave me this one. i'll put up a pic with some 20 yd shots to let you see its stopping power later today. thanks for inquiry.
