In reply to DIYDan. Ha! As long as it's NOT my fence, go for it. My dog's started barking at arrows instead of squirrels these days.

not sure if DIY targets can really match up to the commercial ones. seems like a fun project but i’d worry about safety and durability more than anything.

For the ethofoam target, is there a specific density that works best for stopping arrows? Jonathan Holmes, your input would be invaluable.

Making an archery target? Guess it’s better than the neighbors fence, huh? Kidding aside, might try the puzzle mat one. Looks fun and easy.

good to see hay bale targets get some love here, easy to grab some from the farm. just make sure they’re not too dry or they’ll fall apart quick.

hey, was thinking about making the cardboard box target. got one question though, does the type of cardboard matter for it? thinking some are thicker than others right?
