Title: Need a dartboard
Post by: JBiorn on February 22, 2007, 02:50:00 PM
Some friends and I have decided that a spirited game of 301 or Cricket would be a blast with our bows. Anyone know where I could find a board suitable for shooting arrows into?

In Kalamazoo this year U-Stuff-It targets had a big dart board target.  Maybe try and give them a call.  I checked there web site and didn't see it on there.  I know they have one cause I bought one.  This is the only thing that I know about.

That's cool.  My son and I play tic-tac-toe.  I just spray painted the "board" on an old bag target.  We have a blast doing that.  Never thought of the dartboard face.

I have often thought that a dartboard face would be a lot of fun! Maybe I could make a big stencil and spray through it onto the blank side of my Black Hole target.

Someone ought to pick up on and market this. As an idea, it's a tun-eighty!

I've thought the same thing for a long time, but I don't have anyone to shoot with.

KillDeer----good idea! I wonder if there should be some sort of organization, you know---organized leagues. Not only that, but the wheelbow shooters would like it, too.

 Hmmmmmm........

I wonder how tough it would be to start some kind of national organization? I mean, the guys would prolly eat this up at the mountain man and traditional events. Let alone having competitions at the 3-D shoots.

 Might as well dream big.

Pretty nice-----looks as if it would serve well as about a 15 to 20 yd. dartboard. I actually had something a little larger in mind. Maybe I could just build my own stencil kit...

I think I'll go with the paper target.  That way I can take it off and put a fresh one on as needed.  If I decide to paint my BLOCK I can make my own stencil from the paper target face.

Cricket with bows would be sweet. Talk about building your focus! Trying to close out all your numbers and bullseyes from 15-20yds.  :scared:

It came in the mail in the familiar triangular box. There are 3 Mylar stencils for multiple colors, and directions. Gotta go get the spray paint and see how this turns out. Looks good so far, but have not introduced the OIE yet.
