Homemade Archery Target

That is a dang good Idea.

Hows the backing of that carpet doing to your carbon arrows? Is it too abrassive like sandpaper?

First thing that crossed my mind.

We got us a project Sammy!

I got the carpet

[super_dave]

I'll get the boards

Looks really good! I've been thinking about building one of these - especially since we are going to have some carpet replaced and I'll have lots to work with. Mine will be left outside and I worry about how it will hold up in the weather. I'm thinking about protecting it with a cheap vinyl grill cover when not in use.

Been shooting into a similar target I built 15 months ago--the carbon arrows don't show a bit of a problem. Only thing I can say is that the field points are polished silver now instead of black.

Great idea.

I was a little worried about that myself at first, but I have shot it quite a bit the past couple of day shooting the same 3 arrows. I have not noticed any problems with the arrows yet. I believe its going to be fine.

Sweet... I just found another project for this summer!

my dad used to take burlap sacks and the heavy plastic that automotive parts would come in (he was a auto body man), and cram those plastic wrappings into the burlap sacks, and that worked GREAT! Then just spray paint your dots on the sack.

not good for broad heads though.

[cjkozik]

Finally found the link to the one I made--on that "other site"

Even the store bought ones that say they are broadhead targets don't hold up to continued use with them. That looks like it will work real well.

Nice job. Happy shooting.
