No I'm starting from the bottom. I'm hitting the targets and know what I'm doing enough to start practicing or i wouldnt be practicing. I'm not planning to go hunting any time soon, I have to practice! Practice makes perfect! No one starts out know exactly what to do. The arrows my husband gave me to let me practice with are for my bow. I'm not a rich snob that can go out and buy a target whenever I want. Therefore I'm being productive with what I have so I can practice. I know enough to practice, but I am still learning so therefore I am asking questions, yes to total strangers but so what, you need to stay off my post. You're rude. Like I said before, NOONE is going to go out to shoot for they're first time and know everything they need to know, that's why you practice, practice to get better and improve. I'm not saying I'm amazing at shooting, its my first time. I was simply looking to learn. This post was asking about a target, because that's what ive got for targets right now, that's what we we're going to make my targets out of any how I just felt like taking advantage of the nice weather we were having where i live and go practice shooting my bow! So therefore I wanted to see what others could tell me about making a target, and I listed what had to make one so someone might be able to help me. You are not helping. Your being a pain, and if youve every done anything in your life you would know everything takes practice and learning, your not going to go out and know how to do something perfectly the first tine you do it. But guess what for the first time shooting I hit my target every time. At the foam and cushions targets I made without spending any money. And let me tell you what, my targets worked great, just as good as one I'd buy.
