I don't have any plans for a head.  Seemed like a lot of extra work and no need for it in this application.

Very cool idea that can be applied to novelty targets as well!  I like it!

Biathlonman, can you get some closer pics, front and back? So everyone (me    :jumper:   ) can see how you put it together.

Don't want to sound stupid but what are water softing bags and were do you get them?

Also what else can be used as stuffing that won't damage arrows?

How and what do you use to sew the baqs together?

Did he ever post the step by step used in his bags?
