Title: Giving old things new life--arrow rack and targets
Post by: lpcjon2 on December 31, 2012, 05:06:00 PM
Well today I brought some old things back to life. First I had an old fishing rod rack that is now an arrow and gear rack.

And then I got some old foam pool rafts that were being discarded(value new $113.00 each)and made some cool targets. I had 4 of them and they are poly vinyl over tight cell foam(like yoga blocks). I made a box target from each raft and used the head pieces as small animal size targets. I also have enough left over for quiver inserts.They are the green and blue ones,and dont laugh at my art work on them either...LOL

Very creative! salvaging unused goods and turning them into useful items can provide a valuable function, as well as being easy on the wallet.
