If you want a target that you can shoot with broad heads and is a bit more durable while still being repairable check out my previous target build: th-cam.com/video/3jH1nYfO-4o/w-d-xo.html
Great editing, very easy to follow and a lot of good details covered. Thank you for the video 🔥🦉
Thanks for the video. I used one layer of this insulation in-front of a hay bale. Works fine.
Sounds great and a nice r way to quickly get a flat face without so much work. I like it!
This is amazing! I've been trying to figure out an ideal backdrop for archery since forever, and now Ima try this plan :) When I finish mine we all definitely need to go archery practicing.
Glad it was helpful! It would be super fun to go shooting.
Blood and ashes , I need that!
Nice.
Now this is the cheap target I was looking for. Thanks!
I’m glad you like it!
2 rivers long bows bahaha you're awesome
Thanks! You are the first one to notice. Glad to see a fellow Wheel of time fan.
Nice job. I made something similar. I used R- 5, 1-in x 2-ft Unfaced Foam Board Insulation. It's a smaller target, but that's by design. I feel if archers keep shooting at the 80CM target face, they focus more on hitting 10's rather than working on technique. I took two rolls of R- 1 Unfaced Polyethylene Roll Insulation 22.9-sq ft (5.5-in W x 50-ft L) used for roof sill insulation and glued them together (don't unroll them). Then I wrapped the two rolls in heavy duty packing tape to preserve its cylinder shape. Next I cut a hole through the center of each insulation board and inserted my roll through all three boards. This provides enough stability for the Genesis bows. The rolled insulation has a hole in the middle. I fill that with Great Stuff foam spray and let it cure for 48 hours. Most targets get the centers shot out. My center "grabs" the arrows rather than punch holes into the foam. When the center wears out, I only need to refill the center with foam or replace the center core. Any arrows that hit outside of the core on the insulation board get filled in with foam insulation spray.
That’s a great idea thanks!! I may add a foam insert to the center of the target like you described since the center gets hit so much. Thanks again for your info sounds like a great target.
Wow you should make a video showing us exactly how to do it! It sounds like a great idea
Thanks for the tip, what about if I use only styrofoam. I’m in the construction business and I have a whole bunch of this 2” sheets. Do you think if I glue like 5x36”x36” would hold arrows ? I’m shooting a 60lb compound bow
I have a target of 3 2" sheets glued together that I use for recurves (30 lbs and under) and it works great. I think you would want to make it thicker (like probably 16" total) but if you have the material for free then I say go for it. I think it won't last as long but my face piece lasted a whole season of practice so I think it would be a good idea.
Tam approved.
Great idea. I'll have to give it a try. I made something similar with Styrofoam left over from Christmas but it's what to hard to get the arrows out and I keep breaking my fiber glass shafts.
Oh yeah breaking arrows is the worst. We are happy with this target and pulling arrows is sooo easy.
What do you think of a combo of your two techniques - using the insulation foam from this video in the same stacking technique from the other target you made? I'd have to price it out but am wondering if you think that would work.
I have done the insulating foam as a target before and it certainly worked. The downside is it broke down faster than the mats, and it was pretty hard to pull put the arrows. That is why the fabric works well, good stopping with easy pullout. Staking the insulating foam would be nice for easy of repairing so that could be really nice, and since it is thicker, it takes way less layers to build.
Did the target with all insulation foam stop broadheads?
if you have land... Use a comforter or sheet. Paint animals or targets on them. *Only tie 2 sides
How is this foam on bowing arrow shafts?
It has been fine on my arrow shafts. There sometimes is a little residue but it wipes right off.
How much did the final target weigh?
It was about 70 lbs. it will depend on how tight and your type of fabric
Where do you get that much fabric without having to use old clothes?
I used some old clothes but with no buttons or zippers, some old blankets, and also some fabric quilting scraps. Others have done it with plastic grocery bags that they said works really well too.
Yo, where the hell's the hauberk video?
Yeah, I need to get on that. I am really dropping the ball there.
I just tried to replicate this and had an awful time, just use the power tools. Trying to do this with an exacto knife just ruined the edges and butchered the whole thing, I don't doubt this is awesome, but it is also just a waste of 36 dollars if you screw it up. So don't be like me! Do it properly
Sorry the edges messed up so much. I wonder if your foam was a different density than mine. I did have some ragged in the center but the edged were pretty clean when i used a knife. That is a real bummer on the foam being so problematic.
@@BuildItMakeIt the foam I used was more like really dense packing styrofoam that falls apart, most likely why it didn't work as well. But I still think this is a good design!
Ah that make sense. That’s still a bummer to lose the 36 dollars.
@@BuildItMakeIt haha, I'm gonna try to make it work still! Just letting it cure before messing with it again. If that doesn't work, I'll go buy a hay bale
So easy? Wtf man 😂 that insulation is at least $50 and who has a truck bed full of fabric or a 3D printer? I like how big it is though
Yeah you can use other things like plastic grocery bags in place of the fabric. Insulation has gotten crazy expensive these days.
@@BuildItMakeIt I'm about to start making them out of carpet but I literally have enough of that exact insulation board to make one haha so I'm about to try 😂
Carpet stops arrows great. Gets real heavy and moldy when wet.
clothes is the worse thing to use should use all foam
Thanks for your comment. Why are clothes bad for archery targets? I am honestly asking if there is an issue I am not aware of? Thanks!
Respectfully, this is not "So Easy!". You need a quite bit more resources than the primary materials. I certainly don't have access, space or money for all those more expensive steps.
The only tools you need is a box cutter or other knife and something to extrude glue if using adhesive from a tube. I showed some alternative ways of cutting to make it faster.
