RE: Homemade archery targets
if you want an excellent archery target have i got one for you. find 1 old sleeping bag around the house. we all have one that the zipper is broken on it and we probably dont use it because of that. well guess what you can use it for an archery target. go to the feed store and buy two bales of straw. stand them up with one behind the other and using some twine or rope tie them together. i know what you are thinking but wait. now fol sleeping bag in half like you would zip it up and then fold that in half. get two pieces of electric galvanized conduit from the local home depot and cut at least one foot taller than the bales. drive one in the ground on each side of the bales till same highth. using the straps on the sleeping bag or rope tie the corners of the folded sleeping bag to the poles. cost about $7 and i have shot the hell out of it. stops all my arrows with field tips. i have used broadheads and they do cut through but it still stoped them. excellent large target for $7. i plan on making another if i can sneak out the good sleeping bags.lol.
