About 2 years ago I got tired of replacing targets and picking all the litter up they created .

So I set out to build a target that lasts forever to shoot in the yard with. It's permanent and will last the rest of my life . I have accomplished it IMO.


Looking from 20 yards:

Jack,
Looks good to me.

I had one of those targets once. The material just never wears out...

Yeah Kevin it has lasted about a year of shooting almost every day.

Jack

Great idea.

Best broadhead target there is.

Blunts, field tips , broadheads, judos anything you want to shoot is OK and TRULY 2 finger retrieval , not like the other commerical made targets.

Jack

Hope there are not going to be any pics of you shooting in a bathing suit.

I got one just like it!

I was actually pondering this very idea today.  I shot at one a few times at an archery club I used to live near.  Works great, but...  
How much wear to arrows does it cause? I guess type of dirt/sand will make a difference.  I shoot carbon mostly--any issues with doing more than cosmetic wear and tear?

I really like that!  I have a pile of top soil behind my cheap old 3d target and it stops all of my errant shots.  I should just make up something similar.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting Jack, I know what I'll be doing next week end.

Will it draw cats?

You got it Jack.....a pile of sand is all I've used for 25 years....good for field points as well as broadheads.

Careful You might wake to find someone has built a castle.  Then you will have to take it by Storm.

Glynn no cats allowed around here  

Oh Scott me in a bathing suit = Ugly

Billy sand is awsome    

Jack

Do you think that there are any ill effects on arrows, continually being shot into sand, and wearing out the finish or even the carbon (assuming you shoot carbon) on your arrows, especially the front end which is the part you want to be the strongest?

Not nocking your target, as I have shot many an arrow into those targets and they are all you say they are, GREAT!...Just curious.

Thanks
Jake

Yes it is hard on the finish, I have been shooting carbon arrows into it for over a year . Let's ask Billy Shipp he says that he has been shooting a sand pile for 25 years . What ya say Billy ?

Jack

I've had one for twenty years myself.  It does wear the finish off of wood arrows.  It has been quite a few years since I shot aluminum, but I don't remember any issues with them at all.  I've been shooting carbons for the last 3 or 4 years and have had no wear issues with them whatsoever.
Best broadhead target by far  

Good post Jack, two finger arrow removal without the price.Hey,if ole HOT HAP'S concern becomes reality there's always the rubber blunt option!
