Feed store bag target

[South MS Bowhunter]

If you would like to entertain another idea for backyard targets here a pic of one on mine made from scrap carpet and painted to mimic the animal desired.  A little time and effort and i had a 30 target range set up for IBO rules.  Me and a few buds get together through the year and shoot for fun and have a cookout from time to time.  Here a link to the full post with more pics and some instructions.

Some great ideas!

Have used bag targets for years but never bothered stitching the top, I just grab the ends and spin it shut (like closing a garbage bag), then wrap off the opening with a with a piece of cord (wrapped two or three times around, then tied off).  Spinning the bag helps get/keep the stuffing nice and tight, which helps them work/last longer.  Nylon feed bags also seem to last alot longer than burlap, though the latter does add a bit of 'realistic color' to the target.

I do it just like bamboo, sandwich between two 1x2's, screw together, and put a couple screw-eye's in top to hang from.
