Looking for a good bag target
« on: April 10, 2020, 10:10:22 AM »
Last one I got from Fleet Farm didn't last a year. Covers go real soon. Was going to re-bag it but its full of car seat cover pieces and large chunks foam covered plastic that arrows won't pull out of. The good ones I use to get were full of
polyester batting and cotton that could be re-bagged.
Anyone no of a good brand and maybe the price and where I can get it. Thanks

Fill the bag with Walmart bags lots & lots  of plastic shopping bags. I stuff coffee bean bags (burlap same color as deer  :archer:) works great or corn/ feed bags

Our local coffee store roasts it's own beans, the green ones come in giant burlap sacks, and the owner saves them. I stuff one sack with a flat stack of about 20 of the others; and that makes a nice 3 ft x 2 ft target bag. I have yet to wear one out. Once a year when I wear a hole through the face, I get a new bag and just sack the whole target right up and it's like new again.

And they are sooooo quiet. Store-bought target bags are so loud in comparison. I can't stand the noise.

Honestly I gave up on bag targets and buy the block style targets. They cost little more but seem to last long time. Their very light and quiet when you shoot them,and have never had a arrow stuck in them.

The Morrell Outdoor Range is no cheap bag target. Yet, I expect to get more and do since both the covers and inner workings last 4 to 5 times longer than most, in my experience...~$120

(2X) :thumbsup:  Good call!

  I didn't know that they had gone up that much, but I had similar result from their largest outdoor range bag.   I shot it for 5ish years with compounds, recovered it and used another 3ish year traditional, and then gave to a kid, who was just starting out.
