Something not many target tutorials mention, crossbows. I hunt with both, compound and crossbow. This target 100% stops a 405 feet per second crossbow. The bolt only went half way in. My 70lb compound arrow went about a quarter of the way. I found my plastic wrap from Sam's club, for those needing ideas.
Thanks for pointing that comparison out! You really get out of this what you put in it, literally! If you pack it tight enough it'll stop anything you want to throw at it. If you go at it half-heartedly, it won't stop anything. You can't go until you run out of plastic wrap and assume its good enough - you have to keep stuffing until there is truly no more room inside. I've also had people tell me they laid a ratchet strap around the inside and used that to compress the packing as a last step before sealing in up.
@@GunflintDesigns since initially posting my comment I've come across another extra (ish) step. Make sure you really pack every possible area on the first few layers. I was lazy and just stuffed it in. The center was beautifully packed but the bottom corners had some soft spots. Basically, take a few extra seconds to make sure it's actually packed and there aren't any voids. My buddy stripped the fletching off his bolt because of it. So I unpacked and repacked.
Hands down, this is the winning formula for a home made, large target. I've already got plans to improve when I make a new target. Thank you again for posting this idea, I probably wouldn't have made it so nicely and as easily as I did with out this template.
Oh great idea thanks
Good to know since I am looking to make one for my crossbow.
Of all the DIY archery-target videos I've watched, this is unquestionably one of-if not THE-best. I obviously don't know the idiots who complained about your use of tools in the first version, but they probably weren't breast-fed properly by their mothers, and they need to get into psychotherapy without delay.
Here's another good source of "stuffing": These days, every boat yard and boat dealer shrink-wraps its boats, whether new or used. And every year, that shrink-wrap gets pulled off and discarded. This is an environmental disaster in every respect, but it provides DIY target makers with a virtually unlimited supply of free stuffing. In addition, the plastic shrink-wrap "film" is heavy enough to use as a target face. In fact, you can wrap the whole target with it to fend off the effects of rain and/or snow.. Best, Chris (in Maine)
The fact that this dude made a speed square so he could say he used two tools is amazing. Well done dude 😂 👍.
Never apologize for someone else’s lack of ingenuity. DIY videos are suggestions. There is always more than one way to get things done.
For those worried about the tools, I used a hand saw and an electric drill i got from LIDL and it worked just fine. Yes, I also used a screwdriver. Yes, you should own a screwdriver. What kind of adult doesn't own a set of screwdrivers?
Screwdriver, utility knife, ruler, hammer and any type of plier. Minimum should be in every house and car.
They also sell precut wood to 3 and 4 feet.
What these bows cost id hope you have tools around
Come on the Lidl 💪
I don't understand how people could own a bow\crossbow and not have some basic tools
Dude, I laughed a lot at the tool commentary! Hilarious! I’ve seen those comments on other videos and I’ve never understood why people are so obsessed with being outraged about something so silly! I’ve always used videos and plans that require tools I don’t have as the reason to save up and purchase the tool. It ALWAYS makes more sense to spend money on a tool that I can use for the item that I’m building and then also use for a billion other projects as time goes on as opposed to spending money on an item that I can build that will undoubtedly not be as good or last as long as the one that I can build to suit my exact needs and that I will ensure is perfect. I’ve never gotten pissed off at a content creator that is spending his time and money to help me figure out how to do something because he has more tools than I do!! Good lord!!! Good project man. Thanks!!
Lol, I'm glad you see things my way and got the humor in the ridiculous situation I often find myself in!
Man, your commentary is bliss! I agree with the fact that if you are watching this video because it says “free” then you either received a free bow or possibly using a cattail bow and river birch twig as an arrow.
A wise man once said, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Great video and happy hunting!
Or some people get something handed down or they find it and are trying to accomplish their goal. Just because they are not experienced, doesnt mean they should be mislead. Thats what annoys people. When you see that, youre gonna watch it and have wasted time.
I opened this video cuz it was home made and the first half is just him crying about trolls. Dont overthink it and just make the videos
I’ve been using shrink wrap for my targets for 30 years. It is hands down, the best target media available for archery targets.
2 tools?
Saw
Impact driver
Driver bit
Pencil
Tape measure
Hands
Work bench
Staple gun
Blade
Brain
Sorry. Couldn’t resist. I remember your first one. This is a great version 2
I'm glad somebody called me on my miss-leading information.
Not to forget a tractor to move it!!!!!!!!! ^_^
Not many people noticed it, but he also used a BOW to shoot the arrows
Paint roller
No one has mentioned the ladder... How tf am I supposed to stuff my target?
Where can I get plans for that speed square??
Finishing up the animated 3D model in the next few days. Then the files will be shipped off to the art director for layout design, and the step by step text will go out to a proofreader. Once those files get assembled and returned, it's over to the board of directors for up to 6 weeks for final approval. I'll post an update when it's ready.
@@GunflintDesigns LOL!!!
ROFL!
@@GunflintDesigns that oughta just about put Starrett out of business
@@GunflintDesigns LMFAO 🤣
Thanks for this video bro I’m 18 and I built a great one for free with a bit of my old man’s help with just a handsaw and old electric drill and some screws and some old sheets and old blankets and gardening straw and of course good old duct tape it works super well and did in a days work thanks for the video mate much love from Australia 🇦🇺 🍻😉 getting some good archery practice in homie
I used this with all recycled materials. It works great! Thanks for sharing
Great to hear! Glad you found it useful!
That target is awesome!!!
I liked it a lot! And being that you were pleasing the trolls, I liked it even more!😂👍
Okay okay….I had to add even more compliments. The voice over of the trolls “but mark, the staple gun makes 4 tools!?” SO GOOD…pure gold!🤣
I am not into archery, but I have loved all of your videos and podcasts. If it wasn't for you and Bruce, Drew would be lost.
Well thank you very much, I appreciate that!
@@GunflintDesigns very well built,. was kind of into archery as a kid but never pursued it as an adult, still well done
Great video love the sarcasm. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could make this too if I had electricity! Nice video Mark!
Version 3 - the Amish way.
That's right. Electricity is tool #3.
I think you did an excellent job on this video. Not to complicated. Cheat. Direct and to the point. Nicely done. I would say you should do more videos. Your a natural. 👊👍☺
Personally, I love that you trolled the trolls 😂 All of my DIY is figuring out how to do what I want with things I already have. The speed square was fantastic!
The stuff Dexter uses... Lmao!!! I love that and am so excited for the new season coming out too.
I hope its good!
I very much enjoyed how most of this video was just you attacking back at the trolls. Project was neat too, I suppose.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video I was wanting to build a good durable Target seen lots of videos but this is the best one out there. Plus easy enough for my boy to help build it.
I'm glad to hear that! I hope you're turns out great!
Challenge accepted!! I found 4 places to exclaim “but Mark! Not everyone has ___” (only in jest)
- brownie batter paint
- rabbits to hide underneath the target
-dogs to chase said rabbits
-or a archery setup at all to use on the target. I watch (both channels of yours and the the WBAT guys) not because I have a woodworking hobby, but because I secretly want one :-) great video
Haha, I'm glad you were able to find holes in my logic! Thanks for being a fan!
I can’t pound a nail into a 2x4 but even I could build this target.
Great video. Thanks!
I have a axe that's over 100 years old. The cutting head has been replaced three times, and the handle 10 times over the years. But it's been kept in great condition. lol
Ok... That was just cool as hell. Thanks, we hommies now.
Excellent target. I cut up a former billboard made of corrugated plastic sheeting for the target surface and used sheep wool to fill the box with. Most farmers in NZ are happy to give sheep wool away these days because it has very little value. Target functions perfectly and makes a satisfying "thwock" sound each time an arrow hits it. It will be interesting to see how long the plastic sheeting lasts. So far, it's holding up well.
I think I have everything I need for this. I’m gonna have to use an old tarp from an air conditioner I replaced for the face material. It’s canvas so I hope that works well for a bit
Late to the party, but finally watched! Such a cool idea and video , but next time can you show us how to make it with just a pair of scissors and a soup spoon...thanks!
Thanks for the idea on the archery target!! Great design! I’ve been using a cardboard box and plastic bags stuffed in it. I’m definitely going to use your design!!
Thank you for this post! What is the width of your box please?
Thanks, TrollBuster! I like the orange strips, and this great use for plastic bags!
Outstanding! Love design and the smattering of humor throughout!
Great video! I appreciate projects made from left-overs/scraps! Very nice target and the wheels are a great value-add!!
Thanks a bunch, glad you liked it!
Excellent project, I will give it a try shortly. Thank's for sharing.
Love a good project you got my wheels turning. Can’t wait to get started.
I will be building this. Thanks for the tutorial!
I remember that day I got my first bow. I was excited to shoot something and made a target at home from old cardboard boxes and compressed left over newspaper stacks with varying levels of compression. Changed the tips by cutting an eraser into six pieces so the papers would soak up the blunt hit. This way the shaft would last longer and the impact damage is absorbed completely by the newspapers. And it feels safe enough. I made some for my friends as well.
I like your design and material choice. I'll try and find it locally! As for monsoon, wrapping it around in plastic should do the trick.
Great idea! How does it work for shooting broadheads?
Very nice creation.
Memory foam mattresses work pretty good .
Don’t have a fancy bow, just a regular one. And I’m getting into archery hunting, been a rifle hunter all my life, and this season will be my first bow hunt.
I really want to thank you for this video. I made one and it is just about done, I need to put some more plastic in to stop arrows. The only things I’ve had to pay for is the OSB board, paint and screws. Once again I would like to thank you and God bless you for your video.
Sweet Job,Thanks Dude
Great video! Thanks Mark!
Pretty fantastic work, Mark! It really turned out great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!
So the whinny people who complain. You could give them 5.00 & they would complain it wasn't 10. You are giving away your knowledge for free. Entitled brats. Thanks for the video. Now i have my next project. I work at one of the 3 large hardware stores. Ill try not to go crazy with upgrading supplies.
Thanks for the shots at the trolls. Entertaining, and they deserve it.
Great video and project, Mark!
Glad you liked it!
Great idea !!!! I may have to make one
Liked the Video so much I've decided to build a target as I've spent more on targets than I have arrows thanks 👍.
Oh man, the days when a 2x4 was $3 instead of $15
Just awesome.
Great build brother
"But Maaarrrrk, you're cheating, cause your work bench is just exactly the same height as your target, so that's like a whole 'nuther tooooool!" ;-)
That’s a really cool idea!!!
Very nice!!!!!!thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you
Outstanding job. Sub'd, saved, and will be trying this soon.
😂😂 the first tool was the pencil, then the tape measure, but it's all good you did your thing.
thanks for the idea.
Great video, I made a video about a back stop I made out of horse stall mats. Love the ingenuity of using your available resources
Thanks, this is great.
These prices from a year ago sound like a steal
Very good , Thanks.
Thank you too!
Next time, I think you should use a hand saw, hand drill, screw driver, and tacks. LOL Great video! I liked the first one too. Keep thee videos coming.
I'll have to make hundreds of these just to demonstrate everybody's personal tool availability. CNC & Welder. Hand Saw and Hammer. Lightsaber and Silly Putty. The list is endless!
@@GunflintDesigns Please make one with just a flint hand axe and bowdrill. My tribe hasn't discovered metal yet.
Great idea
This is a great video!
Sure, if I had a hundreds of dollars in tools I could make this too! ... Great job! Keep up the good work.
For the next one I'll just have to take $5 to a flea market to try and buy a hammer, handsaw and some used old bent nails.
Boo Hoo
@@GunflintDesigns greatest reply of all-time, lol. Love it!
@@GunflintDesigns I saw a guy rip 3/4in plywood with a handsaw in the Philippines. It's not as impossible as one might think.
Imma build mine similar to this out of pallets and only thing I should be spending money on is the Osb boards.. thanks for the video dude!!
Thanks for sharing cheapers target board..soon as posible i'll made..🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for the video!
Dexters kill rooms lol. I love your video! Thank you.
Good stuff!
Two tools! But the lawn tractor counts, right?😂 Great vid. I actually use a version of this as a back drop for an archery target that was gifted to me. This will definitely last longer than the target!!
Very nice 👍
Myea targets are a pain to source cheap. Your version seems like a version that you have in the backyard and if you do not have a cheap source for the screen it might get too expensive.
What I think would be much faster are the big sand bags (maybe not as durable but than you can replace only the fabric that is damaged). Theoretically the same idea something to fill up with what ever but it takes way less time to build it and you do not need any tools at all:)).
Good stuff thanks
Best Buy dumpsters supply my archery needs. I drive by after work, and they have every size of clean cardboard boxes, plastic bubble wrap, cardboard inserts to fill the boxes.
I really need to get back into archery. I haven't used my bow in a few years
Great video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
If only I had a cordless tools like that I bet I could make stuff like this too. 😁🎯🎯🎯 🦌🐐🦃 Great video Mark. Really looking forward to some great content on the New Old channel.
Next time I'm only using a hatchet. I'll use it to cut materials and pound nails!
@@GunflintDesigns 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GunflintDesigns ha ha ha yep some folks hey
Good video!
Now I gotta buy a knife.
I agree so many internet whinners. If they don't have basic tools every homeowner should have they they shouldn't be building something to save money
I wonder if the shrink wrap they use on boats would work. Any marina would have tons of it in the spring time. Great5 job and thanks for the idea. I plan on trying it.
Let’s call it the minimal tools not to tools. Overall pretty cool video. I have but one of these for myself a couple years back they work great. A bit inconsistent in stopping power in some places. It all depends how well your pack it.
Can I still make this if I use a Festool tracksaw and buy all new materials 😂 Good stuff man, that looks like a nice target!
Yes you can! But just know that people will think less of you for it.
I came here to make this joke! 🤣
@@GunflintDesigns SMH, it’s hard to do right in this world we live in. Haha
Great video! I’m going to make one with wheels like that this week! I would love to be able to have the handle and all that. How much does it weigh by the end all said and done ? Rough estimate?
Sweet!
Nice!
Made one in 2018 have put over 20000 arrows in. Grate target for almost free.
But Mike, you used a paint roller. That makes 5 tools!😂😂😂
I don’t know which was better the video or your responses to the stupid comments below, well done lad!
Hey Guy appreciate the idea I knocked out a 4'x4' target today I've for 50 bucks in ours.
OUtstanding!
nice.....
Wonderful stuff!
I need to make this . Can I have measurements ?
What fill material would you recommend when shooting a 200 lbs crossbow ? Thanks for the video
Great design, just made 2 of these myself. woven plastic weed barrier makes a pretty good target face and is readily available at most hardware stores.
Good idea. I'd also spray pain the faces white with targets afterwards.
How long did this last with the weed barrier? I might do the same.
What is your opinion on use roofing insulation as the target filler?
Those screws look too fancy and expensive for me 😂
They are pretty nice! But I love Torx head screws so much that it's worth every penny.
