Well guys that is the total of the 30 targets, hope you liked them! Very easy to make and they hold good for the 45#-60# bows we shoot.

Here are also a few picture of a "blind bale" target butt I built for form practise (which I need) and longe range shooting. The distance is spaced out over 60 yards in 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yard increments and marked.

As you can see a very simple design, made from 2 4x4 treated post, 2 treated 2x4, scrape carpet found in a new subdivision or the local dump,relatives etc...8 carraige bolts, and 8 fender wasers and wingnuts. 6 layers stops my 55# Centaur as long as you don't continue to shoot the same hole/spot. The face of the target is 5'x 5'.

Wish I had the room to do the same thing.

South MS Bowhunter · « **Reply #36 on:** June 15, 2011, 05:56:00 PM »

Thanks guys, The cost for the actual making of the targets is really only in the amount of spray paint and material used for the heads and tails. All of the carpet was scrapes either given to me or located at new subdivisions or the local dump. If you have the room and a little "sweat equality" ok it was alot of "sweat" down here in our humidity :eek: you can make a good practise range for little money..less than the cost of 1 or at the most 2 actual 3D targets.

Looks good, man. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your "we're getting together" post. As long as the boss doesn't have anything planned, I'd love to drive on down.

That is sweet as heck! I have plenty of room around here and next door at my ol' man's place...my 2 young boys would really get a kick out of something like this...

I love the skeleton deer and the beaver is always a good thing
