Best target I ever made. A woven fiber grain bag, available at any feed store cheap or free.Stuff it with any cheap plastic (not shrink wrap,I use plastic shopping bags)sow it shut with any string.Hang it up or not. It will stop any arrow and last quite a while as long as it is well stuffed.when it starts to get shot out put it into a new grain bag add a little more plastic sew it shut and keep on shooting.It's cheap it's light and it helps the enviroment too. this target is no good for broadheads.

My thoughts exactly. I make a large burlap pillow and stuff it full of used plastic sheeting. It will stop a field point from a 65 pound bow in just 7 inches. The feathers will never be ruffled!

You could use some old clothing and newspaper to go with the Plastic, makes it tougher.

But if you leave the Target outside, you need to drape a piece of plastic over it, to keep it dry.

I have a 1953 Bear, Glass Bow, I think it's a 70 pounder, but the # marking has long since rubbed off !

I wish I could remember just how much # draw it has, but, I have trouble remembering what I had for Breakfast, much less 50+ years ago !

Have a good Day !
