1/2" washer at 20 yards.  It did take me 3 arrows to put it through the center without touching the washer though.

Thanks Roy for correcting the picture.  My third arrow centered through the washer.  Surprised even me but more so the compound shooters.  They shot dozens of arrows and only a couple got inside the washer.  For you information, I didn’t shoot again.  Quit while I was ahead.  :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

I don't think I could see that washer at 20 yards. Good shooting.

Backstop is layered foam bales.  Typical of most archery shops.  To expensive for me at home.  They cost nearly $1000 per bale but last a long time.

When I still lived in Queens, NYC, I would shoot at a great range that had a lot of Olympic shooters there.  They used either a small loop of string or re-enforcements, those little circles to put over the holes in loose leaf paper, as targets on the backstops.

Very cool! I may have to give that a try just to mix things up. Though it may take me 103 tries.  :knothead:

These bales are 5’ X 5’ square.  Expensive - about $800-$1000 each but last a long time at a busy archery range.
