RE: Straw Bail for practice target??
If you are going to be using this target for broadheads...make sure the target is a broadhead target. The bag targets mentioned above are not made for broadheads. They will get stuck in there and just make a complete mess. You need a foam broadhead target...I use a Morrel Yellow Jacket...can't say enough great stuff about it.
As others have mentioned though....your bales probably will not work. Today's bows are too powerful and you will end up losing/ruining quite a few arrows this way.
