Homemade Targets
Does anyone use a homemade target? I am curious as I have seen a few folks use layered and compressed cardboardor carpet for targets. I was wondering if one can make a homemade target out of cardboard or carpet that will hold up to broadheads without wrecking arrows or broadheads? Thanks ahead of time.

I've shot at a feed bag full of rags for the last 20 yr. I just keep replacing the outside feed bag. It will stop any arrow and has two finger withdrawal. The more you shoot at, the better it works. The downside is that it only works with field points. Broadheads really rip up the bags.

Dont use compressed cardboard. It works but the target will weigh a ton and arrows are really , really hard to remove[:@]I found soft foam compressed between two 2 x 6 work alot better. Not stirofoam but foam that is softer. Do a search and youll probally find your answers. If shipping to my door wasnt a 100 bucks Id buy the Morell Yellow Jacket Brodhead target.
GOOD LUCK
