These small targets of today are just too small. I got one of the biggest targets I know of and its 22" X 22" and its just not big enough. I been shooting a two to three inch group @ 20 yrd's for years and a three to four @30 so I'am not concerned about missing although I'd love to have the backing incase of a wild arrow, ( I do live in town ). My concern is tearing up my arrows all the time. Sunday I shot my first Robin Hood. I have to admit I'am quite proud of it but sad I lost two arrows. The thing is I'am constantly fixing nox and fletching because theres limited space on my target and I feel leary about shooting near the edge. If you think thats bad enough try having a buddy or two over. Why cant somebody make a nice big 4' X 4' layered foam target likethe hay bales we once had before we started shooting threw them. I'd buy one. And I know a couple of people who really could use one.

Sounds like your bow is setup properly and you obviously can shoot groups.

Why not aim at different spots on the target for each shot?

At one of the local stores in myarea I got a bag target that is 46" by 33" or so for 40 dollars. Stops arrows up to 300 fps.. so it a good deal in my mind.

im with illonishunter..i bought a GIANT bag from dicks sporting goods. it was 40$ also. its called the Carbon Giant. has 9 targets on its face. i got 300-400 arrows into it in 4 days and its JUST now showing wear. after my first robinhood my first day i started spot shooting all the diffrent small tagets on the target. i too live in town and its nice to have the extra saftey. though i also have a hay bale wall behind it just incase. i wont lie i sent a few to the very edge. still stopped the arrow. removal is EASY. 2 fingers no joke. when i open it up a little more ill just get some feed sacks, or burlap and sew on a new cover, the insides should last forever. Delta makes a bunch of bag targets that look nice.
