Bag target-Alternative to plastic groc sacks?

I rounded up a couple of large burlap sacks from a local coffee house to make targets. It is taking a LONG time to fill them with platic sacks...I only have one about half full! I am looking for a cheap alternative to the plastic grocery bags. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Any plastic sheeting will work. Usually furniture stores have bunches of it near their dumpsters. You could also fill it with straw or hay but they would deteriorate with time and weather. Pat

Go to a moving co. or a pop distributor. They use a LOT of shrink wrap. That stuff stops arrows better than any free stuff I have found. They just throw it away. If you talk with a guy that loads and unloads trucks they will set it aside and call you when they have some. Usually they have it everyday.

If you use old clothes,take time to remove all zippers and buttons.They will ruin carbon arrows.

Go to a lumber yard and ask if they have any of the tarps the lumber comes wrapped in. Been using it for years.

Go to a boatyard or dealer if there is one near you. New small boats come wrapped in a heavy shrink wrap that works, and in the yards, they hang plastic around the larger boats when they paint the bottoms, then roll it up and throw it away.
