Arrow stop ideas

I haven't made one yet but I would guess that if you get a box about 6" wide x 2ft x 2ft and spray a can of that expanding foam insulation into it.... that you would end up with a pretty good portable backstop.... hmmmmmmm.

The wood i could get for Free .... Idea

Sound like a good idea. When I made a target for my crossbow, the bolts went through it Laughing

I was thinking of just using a cardboard box, Dave... that stuff is pretty sticky and would be difficult to break out of a mold.

This is too, but it's all in layers, what ever it is they use. Me and my hunting/fishing buddy in Hope are going to go halfers on a 3D target Twisted Evil

there so cool. With replaceable vitals. Its $ 300.00

nice
i want to get one of those one of these days
so on the one your looking at once the vitals are all shot up you can just replace that one part?

^

YA. On the opposite side there is a small screw thing that holds it in place.
You just un-screw it, pop out the old vitals and replace. Not sure the cost of the vitals ? i think about $ 35.00/40.00
Worth it i think. Take it into the bush set it up in a cool location, and draw the Bows on it Twisted Evil

ya that would be cool.
you could prob make the vitals pretty easy for it i bet. might save you some money Smile

so do you go bow hunting alot? i havent ever gone bow hunting but im hoping to this fall

I have gone out on Bow hunting trips, but never have had the chance yet myself to hunt.
Im going to start with small game. Rabbit, grouse kind of thing.
To make the vitals would be kind of hard because you would have to make it fit that spot really well.
It could be done, but i have no idea where i could buy the material they have for there vitals.
I think anything else would not last very long. And you would be replacing it very often.
