RE: Target Ideas needed. Help?
Find someplace that gets pallets of "stuff" wrapped in the industrial saran-wrap. Wad that stuff up into a burlap sack. It's AMAZINGLY effect. Lasts a decent time and it can be next to free.
You can also take cardboard or layers of foam and press them together with 2X8 and all-thread rods That one's heavy and will cost you the 2x8 and all-thread rod. Lasts longer and is easy to "repack".
With todays bows I don't think hay-bales are gonna do it. But we can still get by on the cheap. Both those targets ^^^ work as good as any "bought" target. They just don't have the durability. (They'll still be the tar out of a hay bale though!)
