Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I wanted to pass this along to those that like making their own, target bags. At my local Ranch Store they get these burlap rice bags in and sell them for $1.98 each. So I get them, and find good arrow stoppers to put inside, like carpet foam, or foam insulation and packing plastic. Then my wife got into helping me, and let me have some of her co-joining 24.5"X24.5" floor foam that I could have to work as a better arrow stopper. So, I cut each section in half to be 24.5"X12 1/4" Now, these can be used as a bedded deer, or hanging target which ever some one chooses. Just thought I would pass this along if your looking for a cost savings in your targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nice idea, how much is that floor stuff tho? Kinda pricey if I remember correctly, but if not it's not the first time I haven't remembered somethin :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike13candace Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Does it work..? I Like the outside of the bag.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm gonna be shooting at this bag tomorrow, just so I can check penetration. I do believe one package of interlocking mats will work for a small block target. But I wanted a wide body look to represent a deer body. Here is a link for Get Rung and they sell factory seconds, just follow the link once you open the site up. http://www.getrung.com/factory-seconds.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I just went out to try an arrow to see just what kind of stoppage I get. The force of the arrow, knocked the target off the stand I was using as I did not have my hanger available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
