very ingenius

I need foam up the arms & legs

the target is suspended in the air, that is why the arrows are going in a different angles, it cost me one arrow that nicked another going in.

I think you should leave the cement block where it is and shoot another six. Send pictures!

Yeah, i shoot stuffed animals too, never thought about great stuff until recently. I was looking for one of those ball targets with a rope for stump shooting and remembered i had found a few old soccer balls while kayaking. Cut a small round hole, make a wooden disc w/ a rope handle (keep the disc as big as can be squeezed through the hole edgeways), fill the ball, insert handle and voila! Makes a great target for the woods!
Last year we killed a couple of those old furbees we found at my mother-in-laws house. Theyre all hard plastic inside, not bad with heavy aluminums, but i trashed a couple carbons (the arrows needed to be retired anyway). Loads of fun!

Great stuff and soccer balls work great for rolling targets, or just kick it and shoot it where it stops. Really helps with judging distances.

If that bottom one is Barney the purple dinosaur,gut shoot him for me and let him have a long slow death! I listened to that show and his songs for years while my two girls grew up!
My eye just started twitching thinking about the show.  :mad:    :D

Good idea, I need to find a place to shoot.  I have a concrete back yard . Shooting in the front yard is out of THe question

Hey shooting in a concrete back yard should make you,a good shot fast.

I would run out of arrows pretty quick

Gotta Stuff a Barney FAST to Shoot til its just Fuzz & Foam!!

I use a Styrofoam Ball, that Florists use to stick fake flowers into, bigger than Softball, but smaller than Soccer ball size. I Covered that sucker in Duct Tape, then had this stroke of genious to paint it Bright Orange for easier Vision.
 Now every time I touch it, the Orange paint Flakes off the Duct tape. Not such a Brilliant Idea. More Brain Fart than Brain Storm.  :rolleyes:   Anywho, I kick that sucker as far as I can, and shoot at it from where I kicked it! What a Hoot!!    
     Question:  Does anyone else have problems with their Judos  "Skipping"  off the ground and travelling farther than I think they should???  :eek:   I know the "Kondor" Heads with the  HUGE  Legs "Shouldnt" Skip, but I am Surprised at the Judos.  :(
