Default What kind of a target set up do you have?

I'd like to improve my target set up. Right now I have 6 bales of straw in back of my targets.

I'd like to hear/see some ideas on your target areas so I can make some upgrades.

Is that you on the left??

I have a board that I put 18wheeler mud flaps on they stop arrows if you miss but sometimes they pull your insert out.

I am a 4H archery instructor. Or county (Warren) has a pretty good backstop. Its a big heavy material like canvas or something draped over a large frame behind the targets. It works pretty good as the kids put it to work a bunch. LOL

Is it like a canvas that you would tarp a truck with? I could buy one at farm & fleet. My 2 daughters practice with me. It gets expensive when they miss and we lose the arrows. Is it sturdy enough to stop the arrows?
The straw is getting pretty yucky. The canvas sounds like a good idea.

I bought a 4ft by 4ft block and it works great. My archery shop uses them for 2 months and then sells them for half of the new price

Yep same stuff. With the kids it stops the arrows fine. Occasionaly they stick in the canvas. Its doubled and have never had anything hit the second part. Basicaly its folded in half over the frame. Works real good and if you put a bag target etc in front of it you shouldn't loose any arrows.

BTW if you are anywhere near Cincinnati bring your girls out to our club and check it out and they can shoot too. Just let me know and I get the meeting dates for you.
