Inexpensive home target
1 - 4' x 8' foam insulation sheet(found at building supply stores) cut into 2' x 2' sheets for targets.
folded newpaper sections placed between 2' x 2' sheets.
masking tape to bind up the four ends.
The old bow used four sheets; the new faster bows might need an additional one or two 2' x 2' sheets. Experiment until you find the right combination.
After shooting awhile, rotate most of the 2' x 2' sheets, so the holes from the arrows don't line up. Change the newspaper section after shooting awhile. At some time replace the facing 2' x 2' sheet to make the face more presentable.
Use florescent dots stickers from a office supply store for the actual targets on the foam.
Note: You will not embed the target on either side in the home made target. The target stops the arrow. It doesn't completely embed the shooting point/ blade in the target, but prevents the arrow from exiting the homemade target.
If you want complete embeding, use more 2 x 2 sheets.
