Guest bowhunter-j Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I use a 6 x 5 round roll of hay works great. I wraped it with shrink wrap. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ptbuckpa Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The easiest solution would be DON'T MISS:D Thats all I got we don't use a backstop we shoot of our frontporch and the target is on our sand mound with open land behind thats just how we do it;) Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbuster12point06 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I use round bales on our course,but if your limited on space, get some old carpet padding and some metal fence posts..........cut the padding so it is big enough to cover a 6x6 foot area behind the target, stretch it tight and attach it to the fence posts.(just not too tight or you might shoot through it,also make sure it is heavy rubberized pad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newhunter07 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 my backstop is an old futon mattress folded over inside the washable cover, 2x4s stand it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 This might be a cheap way but I had my long pin sighted in at 28 yds and used a Block Target to give it a pretty good site-in. When I wanted to shoot out of my ladder stand in the backyard at my 3D deer target I wanted a little extra protection to make sure the arrows didn't hit my foundation. I just set up my Block and my Yellow Jacket BH target strategically placed behind them just in case of a miss. It would have worked but I didn't miss so I didn't need them. Just a suggestion. Just saw on The Best of Season 4 (Realtree) at a country music celebrity 3D shoot they used big sheets of plywood as backstops. Wouldn't do much for the arrow but it might be better than the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
