Cheap Archery Target

[Weldabeast]

If u have a place that stores and sells pavers anywhere around u, swing by and look in the dumpster.....there is sandbags and enough cling wrap to stuff it full I would bet.....makes about a good eating size hog or large bobcat sized target. Field points only obviously. Stops my magnum loads no problem. That is the small mobile target I use....dumpster diving freebie

interesting. Spray foam. I like it.
Got a pic of some arrows in it with penetration view?

I dont but can get some next time i shoot.....freshly made, with my specs, the arrows didnt go through all the way...after a few shots, you def start to sink a lil deeper and see some back side exit but still stops them....as with any target, you wear a spot out and you wll pass through and then its time to spray some more foam in it and fix it.

It would be interesting to use this thread as a results keeper for anyone trying spray foam. Might be nice to get some metrics on how the various brands of spray foam hold up to use.

Way back when I worked at the archery range and the whole animal was this spray foam, we would have to repair the animals maybe every 2 or 3 weeks of league shooting. During a tournament shoot I might have to repair them once during the shoot.

Nope, haven't used it since sometime in the mid nineties.

Expanding foam for fence posts and the like. Have thought about pouring one into a box and using Great Stuff to repair soft spots. Not bad for $15
