Oh,well that explains it.How many layers of carpet would it take to stop a broadhead.

[Justin Snyder]

If you suspend it with a couple of ropes so it can move with the arrow, it doesn't take much to stop an arrow. If you put the carpet or belt against a hay bale it would penetrate. Justin

  Like Justin said,My broadheads will go through the belt and half inch plywood.

O.well I guess that's ok.

A sheet of corragated plastic,like cardboard,except made of plastic.

I started using regular haybales with blunt tips instead of field points, and it works just fine. You can get a new haybale or $3-$5.... I just keep a few fieldpoints handy for tournaments.

Ok,I met a man who said to get fertilizer or feed bags and stuff them into another until it's full.When that one is shot to pieces put it into another bag.

i get cardboard boxes and cut 8 to 10 inch circles glue six or so circles to gether . they are just right for rolling on the ground throwing in the air for flu flu's and put on a bale of hay about the right size of a shoulder

If you can get hold of an old mattress,get the cotton out of it ,then stuff either a burlap or nylon feed sack full.It'll stop arrows great,and it's mighty easy to pull em out too. It'll stop broadheads too,but you'll have to change out feed sacks pretty often.  God Bless,  PeteC

I use the stuffed bag method you mentioned.A feed sack or a U-Stuff It archery target.I save all our Walmart grocerie sacks to stuff in there.I've never shot through it.However,I use it for field tip practise.Not broadheads.tradrick

During a scrounge session at local landfill, I came across the leftover felt-like material from stampings left by large boot and shoe manufacturing company. When you stuff this material into a large burlap bag or one of the plasticized grain bags you have an almost indestructible target - works well with field points - have used broadheads but is quite tricky to remove if embedded in centre of material. When bag is done you just restuff the insides into another one - FREE!!! I've been using the material I scrounged now for about fifteen years and supplied many others - a little bulky and heavy but works.

In my basement where I have a 12 yard range the conveyer belt thing turned out to be a little dangerous. My kids arrows bounce off wildly when they miss the target completely. Layers of hanging carpet, and burlap coffee bean bags (free at the roasters) stuffed with refuse packing plastic from any large box store (again free). These targets are weather proof and take a serious beating.

The feed bag and some dog food bags stuffed with plastic bags from any store will work and last indefinitely. I attach burlap targets to them to spice it up a little. Also, you're doing your part to keep those plastic bags out of the landfills and environment.
