RE: Who uses Hay bales for archery targets?
We always kept 2 fresh haybales stacked in front of a wooden frame with mining belt behind it. It took a while, but eventually, you'd make a soft spot in the bales, and start plugging arrows into the rubber belt.
Then, we figured out that you could stuff a burlap Agway bag with blankets and clothes, and it would stop a freight train.
Been bowhunting for 14 years, shooting bow for 15 years, and this year is the first time I've ever spent a nickel on a bow target.
LOL - I thought EVERYBODY shot at haybales way back when.
