Title: Foam 2D/3d targets
Post by: Chester Thompson on May 22, 2013, 01:07:00 PM
I at one time had found some foam targets that were animal shaped foam that were what looked like the blue building foam thickness, but with animals painted on it. I thought that they were one of the sponsor here, but I can remember for sure. What I really liked was the price was like $30-40 each. Does anybody know who I am talking about? I have looked and have not been able to find them again. And if not how well does that blue building foam work, and does it leave a residue on arrows?

he does'nt use the blue stuff I think it's the same stuff the Hips targets are made from.

My one problem with Dinks is the arrows are really hard to pull out. Otherwise a good target at a good price.

Or you can make your own just find a Neoprene  foam maker and buy thier secounds (3-4 inch thick) and spray paint, draw in details  with markers (I make them for Trad archers of NJ)  (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/022-1.jpg) (http://s441.photobucket.com/user/bloodtrailer7/media/022-1.jpg.html)   (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/026.jpg) (http://s441.photobucket.com/user/bloodtrailer7/media/026.jpg.html)   (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/027.jpg) (http://s441.photobucket.com/user/bloodtrailer7/media/027.jpg.html)   (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/039.jpg) (http://s441.photobucket.com/user/bloodtrailer7/media/039.jpg.html)  comes in 4 foot by 8 foot sheets cut with a band saw or bread knife and stops arrows from my 55 pound bows (holes seem to close up)

you can glue (contact cement) two/3 sheets together, you need to clean/degease the sheets to get good bonding
