Default RE: Plans for "fiberboard" fieldpoint/broadhead target

. Does "Dura-Fibre" sell insulation fiberboard under the name of "Dura-Fibre," or does it supply the product to companies who then sell the board under other various brand names?
Unfortunately (because we dont get to take credit for our product thru the consumers eyes) , the vast majority of our product is sold to companies who warehouse it , mfg it (cut to size) and distribute it under their name. The stuff we do take credit for (Dura-Fibre) , is seldom seen thru the average consumers eyes. For example., we make fire retardant fibre board that is set against insulation inside mobile homes , office partitions , and as bad (or cheap) as it sounds , we make fibre board that goes inside coffins.

When you say "bales," are you referring to a waste product that is baled?
Yes! Just another idea that folks around here (huge paper industry) use for archery targets. The only downside to checking into that is , if they cant sell them to paper mills to be recycled into chip , it's because their paper contains something that either cant be broken down in the pulper or it takes too long and the paper mills dont want it. One of our local archery ranges use to use bales that came from a local converting plant (mostly printed , poly coated paper). Although they worked great and didn't damage or mark your arrows , you had to be extremely carefull when removing a broadhead or you'd lose it in the bale.

Wish I could help more!
