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.
@boblong6759 do you know why they don't mention crossbows? If it stops a compound bow the crossbow bolt is a no brainer shooting an 18 to 20in bolt that doesn't have the mass of an arrow. 20yds they penatation is the same 30yds and farther the crossbows really start to lack in penatation do to mass weight.
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.
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
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?
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!🤣
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.
How would layers of compressed carboard do for filler and how compressed do you think they'd have to be? I'm thinking about all the Amazon boxes we get that could be used this way.
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.
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)
Man that's a great resource that I hadn't thought of. I'm about ready to build a second one of these for my yard, and now I will be running by the boat store here in town very soon.
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 just built something very similar to this with the Third Hand Archery target skins. My 5mm Victory arrows zip through to the fletching and I have ripped several fletchings off. I used the same plastic and pallet wrap but still can't get it to stop my 490 grain arrows out of my 70# Mathews at 275fps. I'll repack it today but any advice would be appreciated.
Man I'm sorry your's has been eating your arrows. I shoot Gold Tip Pierces - 475 grains at 280fps and they only go in 4-6 inches. There is some sort of evil void I can't seem to fix toward the bottom of mine. All I can say is pack, pack and pack. It takes 3-4 times as much material as you think it should. I'm roughly 170lbs, and if I stand on the stuff and it moves at all, then I pack more in. You could try laying a ratchet strap in the frame before you fill it, then use that to compress everything.
Love the petty jokes 🤣🤣🤣 people really can’t think for themselves. If y’all don’t even have a saw, most hardware stores will cut the 2x4s and sheeting material for free :)
He will never cease to amaze me how coddled trolls have no ability to see past the end of their nose let alone think outside of the box. But then again I graduated in '94 and right before I graduated they stopped teaching and reinforcing critical thinking. If you tried it they told you you're thinking too much, and yes that is a personal experience I had in high school.
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!
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.
for those that need an even cheaper option. 2, 2x4x10-$9.32 4, 1/2" carriage bolts, hex nuts and washers-$12.20 and then all those amazon, and pizza boxes you have because we all know you're poor for some reason - free. if you don't actually have any, just go to any restaurant and ask them if you can have all their boxes from the day, regardless it's free. you don't really need to get it super thick, maybe 4 boxes thick maybe more. cut out 4, 4" pieces. you can use a hack saw or a power saw, doesn't matter. and you should now have 4, 4" boards and 2, 2" boards. stack the 4" boards evenly ontop of each other. using a 5/8 drill bit drill a hole through all 4 boards at the top and bottom, if it doesnt reach all the way through, don't fret, just take off one board and drill in the same spots again, keep doing this until it's drilled all the way through. drill 2 screws each into 2 of the 4" boards into the middle of the 2" boards. now you have the feet. take your boxes, stack them onto the 4" boards that are attached to the feet. put your carriage bolts through the holes. put the other 4" boards onto the carriage bolt. put the washers on and then the hex nuts. tighten the hex nuts all the way down. don't stop tightening until you've gotten it as tight as you can. congratulations you've got a target the is less than $25. you don't have to replace anything except the things that came to you free, ie the boxes.
Wait, why wouldn’t people get upset that a person with a woodworking channel has woodworking tools to create their woodworking projects 🤦♂️. Can’t please some people I guess…too bad you couldn’t find a way to use a domino jointer, I hear that really pisses idiots off 🤣
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!!
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!!
Mark, I'm only 3 min in and I see you've used 4 tools as yet.. Driver, Tape Measure, Pencil, Saw.... LIES SO MANY LIES!! ha ha as I type you're yelling at me for pointing this out! I like it Mark, I may have to build one now that I know I can do it without $5,000,000,000 worth of tools!
You know, it would have been way easier to make if you had used all of those nice tools you have in your shop.😂 Oh, by the way, the type of material you used on the surface is called woven poly propylene (WPP for short). It is comonly used for farm animal feed bags. Good video.
It is crazy that you had to make this video in response to people who couldn't figure that the best tool for the job is always the tool you have. Surely people that cannot figure how to improvise, on such a simple thing, should not be in charge of Archery equipment.
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
Yea I made a free target too I basically use 4 peace’s of plywood And 7 peace’s of 2x4 and mounted to a tree cause im shooting at a down ward angle the elevation is weird where I live at some parts in my back yard is flat and some parts are steep it kinda looks like a fuck up desk I built most of it at night in the woods beyond are gate but any ways I’d stuff it with ripped up peace’s of cardboard and foam from seat cushions, I have bad luck with clothes and plastic wrap material sometimes the arrow gets stuck in the fabric and completely pulls out the insert and field point then I went to Home Depot bought a tarp for $5 to keep all the materials compressed inside and to protect the wood from rain I didn’t use paint and I got all the wood for free from various places then I super glued these foam animals on the front of the tarp for my target , the foam animals are the ones u see on baby foam mates u put on the ground so they can crawl they are like small cut outs of small animals inserts that go in the center of the mate sorry kaleb lmao 😂😂… now my second target that’s 30 yards away from my first is going to be massive it’s like 10feet wide 8feet long it’s going to have 3d deer target in front and small archery target above it that I bought from the archery store I just started all the framing in the woods yesterday hopefully I’ll finish it this weekend
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.
Sure you made the target with 2 tools but how can a normal person make those nice round target circle stencils without a million dollar laser cutter.... total clickbait.... 😀
Man that’s a great part of the world! I lived in the Cody/Powell area for 10 years. Unfortunately, my wife got homesick and we ended up moving back to southern Minnesota a few years ago.
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. 👊👍☺
The "two tools" used to build this project: Impact driver Tape measure Pencil Circular saw Straight edge (As you used one of your 2x4s, I'll give this one a pass.) Stapler Box cutter Paint roller If you don't want picky pedants to whine, don't make unsubstantiated claims. 😉
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!
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?
Not a fan of shooting into wood, especially osb. Before long you'll have gaping holes s all through it. Not too mention the weight and lack of portability.
Loved this. We've recycle old commercial targets with used coffee bean shipping gunny sacks. I think it's time to find a fiber feed sack to put around these at this point and maybe stuff a little more plastic fiber around them...just to keep them going for another decade...
Just wanted to say that I'm looking for a channel that will show me how to make this using a cnc and laser. Maybe throw some metal CNC in for hand-made nails or screws? If the shop of the creator is less than 200k, I'm not sure I'll watch. :-) (I listen to the podcast)
6 months ago I couldn't have afforded to build this. I'm surprised how quickly it dropped back down here - one day I woke up and prices were just normal again. Hopefully that happens for you soon!
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
Having done many Butts in a similar fashion, I can only suggest one addition. Treat (paint and seal) your timber for external use. I now (since 2007) use a wool pack (bale bag) and the same filling in a very old wool bale press (circa 1913) to compress it. No wood at all, and it gives me 6 target faces that I can move with one hand. Bale pack $17 AUD ($11 US) ... Press $25 AUD 🤣
Elk hunting for sport or meat or both? Great video. I had one made of straw but its super heavy especially when it rains (just a frame around 2 rectangular shaped bales of hay. Not enclosed. I like your design.
The sad part is all the triggered people about the tools and free scrap pieces to use to build a target are most likely people who will never even try to build one regardless of having the tool or not. The people who are going to actually build something don't stop because they lack the tool needed to do it, they either go buy the tool, or they go buy the target already made. I love watching how-to video's but hate having to listen to them explain to the complainers. It takes away from the professionalism of the how-to video. Feel like I am back n school when the teacher asks if there are any questions and the idiots in class who were talking during the lecture ask a question on something that was just answered/explained. Love the lack of owning a stapler comment =)
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:)).
So what do you put in the center of this awesome?Target, that doesn't make any sense.Why is why do you thre?It's free.You just spent thirty five dollars on it can't be free
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

Never apologize for someone else’s lack of ingenuity. DIY videos are suggestions. There is always more than one way to get things done.
The fact that this dude made a speed square so he could say he used two tools is amazing. Well done dude 😂 👍.
Where can I get plans for that speed square??

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?
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

It is crazy that you had to make this video in response to people who couldn't figure that the best tool for the job is always the tool you have. Surely people that cannot figure how to improvise, on such a simple thing, should not be in charge of Archery equipment.
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
Yea I made a free target too I basically use 4 peace’s of plywood And 7 peace’s of 2x4 and mounted to a tree cause im shooting at a down ward angle the elevation is weird where I live at some parts in my back yard is flat and some parts are steep it kinda looks like a fuck up desk I built most of it at night in the woods beyond are gate but any ways I’d stuff it with ripped up peace’s of cardboard and foam from seat cushions, I have bad luck with clothes and plastic wrap material sometimes the arrow gets stuck in the fabric and completely pulls out the insert and field point then I went to Home Depot bought a tarp for $5 to keep all the materials compressed inside and to protect the wood from rain I didn’t use paint and I got all the wood for free from various places then I super glued these foam animals on the front of the tarp for my target , the foam animals are the ones u see on baby foam mates u put on the ground so they can crawl they are like small cut outs of small animals inserts that go in the center of the mate sorry kaleb lmao 😂😂… now my second target that’s 30 yards away from my first is going to be massive it’s like 10feet wide 8feet long it’s going to have 3d deer target in front and small archery target above it that I bought from the archery store I just started all the framing in the woods yesterday hopefully I’ll finish it this weekend
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!
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!
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.
Do you think I could use grain sack as filler?
Sure you made the target with 2 tools but how can a normal person make those nice round target circle stencils without a million dollar laser cutter.... total clickbait.... 😀
Lol, I hoped nobody would catch on to that one. I guess you'll have to find stencils on Amazon!
Very nice 👍
What part of the state are you in bro ? I’m west , star valley .
Man that’s a great part of the world! I lived in the Cody/Powell area for 10 years. Unfortunately, my wife got homesick and we ended up moving back to southern Minnesota a few years ago.
Will this stop a crossbow bolt
I love all your troll comments- especially that if you can't find any sort of sharp knife, you might as well just not even try this project! 😂
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. 👊👍☺
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.
The last time I was asked by a kid, if they could pull scrap wood out of the dumpster was 25 years ago
Kids today…
Pretty fantastic work, Mark! It really turned out great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!
I built mine with no tools. I karate chopped all of the wood, and turned the screws in with my thumb and forefinger.
What did u use to mark ur 🎯
The "two tools" used to build this project:
Impact driver
Tape measure
Pencil
Circular saw
Straight edge (As you used one of your 2x4s, I'll give this one a pass.)
Stapler
Box cutter
Paint roller
If you don't want picky pedants to whine, don't make unsubstantiated claims. 😉
you failed to account for people who don't have hands, what am I supposed to do about that?
I’m pretty insensitive
I don’t know which was better the video or your responses to the stupid comments below, well done lad!
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 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?
Not a fan of shooting into wood, especially osb. Before long you'll have gaping holes s all through it. Not too mention the weight and lack of portability.
I only have access to stones and woods. Next time please only use self made paleolithic tools that you create at the start of the video.
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
Loved this. We've recycle old commercial targets with used coffee bean shipping gunny sacks. I think it's time to find a fiber feed sack to put around these at this point and maybe stuff a little more plastic fiber around them...just to keep them going for another decade...
With a little annual maintenance it seems like this thing could last forever!
Just wanted to say that I'm looking for a channel that will show me how to make this using a cnc and laser. Maybe throw some metal CNC in for hand-made nails or screws? If the shop of the creator is less than 200k, I'm not sure I'll watch.
:-)
(I listen to the podcast)
I like the way you think! Thanks for listening.
That target is awesome!!!
Those prices here in the UK you can triple that price on your video!!! Prices are still ridiculous over here 🙄 😒 😑!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
6 months ago I couldn't have afforded to build this. I'm surprised how quickly it dropped back down here - one day I woke up and prices were just normal again. Hopefully that happens for you soon!
Great video and project, Mark!
Glad you liked it!
I, personally, am offended that you went out of your way to not be offensive. You're such a .
Good news everyone!
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!
Having done many Butts in a similar fashion, I can only suggest one addition. Treat (paint and seal) your timber for external use. I now (since 2007) use a wool pack (bale bag) and the same filling in a very old wool bale press (circa 1913) to compress it. No wood at all, and it gives me 6 target faces that I can move with one hand. Bale pack $17 AUD ($11 US) ... Press $25 AUD 🤣
Hey Guy appreciate the idea I knocked out a 4'x4' target today I've for 50 bucks in ours.
OUtstanding!
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
Awesome diy project! Thanks for sharing. Don't give the jerks so much attention
Then us carpenters copy the project with crap 2x8s and advantech sub flooring. Wind up needing a 1ton truck to move it🤷🏻♂️😂
Elk hunting for sport or meat or both? Great video. I had one made of straw but its super heavy especially when it rains (just a frame around 2 rectangular shaped bales of hay. Not enclosed. I like your design.
What man that bow-hunts doesn’t have tools? Sounds suspicious to me!!!!! Cough, cough gay cough cough!!
I remember watching your original video and thought it was AWESOME, this one is even better. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
The sad part is all the triggered people about the tools and free scrap pieces to use to build a target are most likely people who will never even try to build one regardless of having the tool or not. The people who are going to actually build something don't stop because they lack the tool needed to do it, they either go buy the tool, or they go buy the target already made. I love watching how-to video's but hate having to listen to them explain to the complainers. It takes away from the professionalism of the how-to video. Feel like I am back n school when the teacher asks if there are any questions and the idiots in class who were talking during the lecture ask a question on something that was just answered/explained. Love the lack of owning a stapler comment =)
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:)).
Who cares about these stupid trolls! Always have something negative to say. Thanks for the info I’m gonna try this thanks brother.
What fill material would you recommend when shooting a 200 lbs crossbow ? Thanks for the video
Right off the bat calls people trolls for being upset he falsely advertised a "free" project. Got lots of views, who cares if he manipulated anyone?
So what do you put in the center of this awesome?Target, that doesn't make any sense.Why is why do you thre?It's free.You just spent thirty five dollars on it can't be free
Wonderful Idea … I’ve used spray foam and that works as well ! Lil pricey but … so what !!
What about 20% FOC 720gr arrows? Will it work for those?
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
Great video, great editing and really good advice about options for targets. Thank you :)
You said 2 tools, but you also used a pencil. This makes it 3 tools, what if I don't have a pencil!
Your cost on lumber is a bit out of date .... I just bought four 1 x 6 x eight foot boards ..... $50 ... 6-19-23
Well bummer, apparently businesses get paid to recycle that palette wrap now so they won't give it to me.
I dont like to use the plastic wrap because I find it melts onto my arrows. I like the old T-shirts. I store mine inside so it doesn't get wet.
How about a broad head target? Field points are pretty easy, broad heads are really hard and require more expensive materials.
That target looks a bit small if you never used a bow before. I'm not sure I could hit the side of my house.
Bro when was this made 1860 those lumber cost are a thing if the past lmao killer video man
Made one in 2018 have put over 20000 arrows in. Grate target for almost free.
