what do u use as a back stop?
I'm sick of using straw bales as a back stop. They are to difficult to get rid of when they go bad, usually after one season! What do you use or have seen as a back stop?
|
I have a feed bag stuffed full of rags as a backstop. The more you shoot at it the better it works. When the bag gets shot up, slip another over the top. I've have the same backstop for over 20 yr.'s. I hang it between 2 posts or just prop it up on the ground and put a target in front of it.
|
I always practice out of the 3 stands I have placed in trees around the yard, so I use the ground. A lesson I learned years ago, practice like you hunt.
|
i use a straw bale but we just sit it by our fire pit and roll it in there and burn it when its torn up
|
I'm lucky that my yeard ends in the woods so if I miss my arrow just skips into the woods and I track it down.
|
I use my fence
|
I use a feed sack full of leaves.. works for me
|
i'd have to agree with PY on this one, i make sure my sights are right on from the ground then start shooting 15ft or higher, much easier than searching threw leaves and other forest clutter...
|
My trash dumpsters. And if my arrows get by those then my garage door.
|
I went from bales to a big sand pile.Works great with any head and lasts forever.
|
my cedar fence....it really helps detour thieves too...when they see broad heads stickin out in the alley....it will only cost me whatever 3-5 6" fence pickets cost me.
|
a rubber cow mat works pretty good. usually the broadheads won't go through it. field points just bounce off of it
|
I use a big block of styrofoam. I can use it as the target or a can put a target in front of it and use it as a back stop.
|
Today I used a water heater in my garage.. Not a good idea, I didn't tell my wife why I had to replace the pop off valve..:barmy:
|
I USE MY MOTHER IN-LAW!!
Actually i practice out of my stands. so i guess i use the ground |
