Hello All,

I found a bunch of that white dense "foam" layers...packing stuff. I picked up some because I want to make a target to try my new broadheads...my questions is, how thick does it need to be? 10-12"?

Thanks!

Isaac

I forgot to mention I shoot a 70Lbs bow with 125 grs broadhead...

i'm not really sure what kinda Foam your talking about but i would think if it is hard, go for around 8" then is it is soft, maybe goe around a foot or so....just my .02

My 2 cents. Use and old target as a guide. See if foam is same density and type, if you don't have an old target go to the store/shop and compare foam and use those as your model.

If it's the real hard , thick , dense stuff then four inch's should be enough.
What you might want to try is start with the four inch's and push an arrow though it , if it's hard to push though all the way , then you know you got enough.
If not , then keep adding on until you can't push the arrow though.

Thank you! good suggestions...

If you spent more than 40$ on all that foam, you could have just picked up a YellowJacket BH target and been set and ready to go...
Regarding the foam..I would go at least 12" thick...you dont want BH tipped arrows skipping through the neighborhood, or worse, your house!
