See if you can find some old mining belt (conveyor belt). It will stop an arrow cold. Not sure if you have access to it down your way but with all the mining in WV it's pretty easy to find around here. Makes an excellent backstop behind a target and it's not affected by the weather.

Let us know if you do miss. We can start a new thread. "Bow Tests on a Live Cow".
