I used 3" deck screws for the project.  5 screws on the top w/ washers hold it up there just fine.

Yeah, that's what I used, except no washers. Just put in about 20 screws.

Here is another target back stop that utilizes a rack. It is just wood and black paint.

The back stop uses three layers of carpet. The carpet was being tossed out by a neighbor.

Yes, it stops broad heads.

When the carpet wears out I will put up a horse mat as well.

Looks like a horsemat will fit right on it. For my target, I hung my bag like yours and got rid of that stupid tub. It wasn't staying stiff enough and almost ate my feathers! LOL
