That came out great. Can't even see where the cut out is.

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

Very cool.If you can hang it from a frame??? It'll last 100 times longer.

You going to put on a head and rack? Great job!

I don't have any plans for a head. Seemed like a lot of extra work and no need for it in this application.

Very cool idea that can be applied to novelty targets as well! I like it!

Biathlonman, can you get some closer pics, front and back? So everyone (me

) can see how you put it together.

I'll snap some today and try and get them hung on photobucket tonight. Not really anything to it...

Don't want to sound stupid but what are water softing bags and were do you get them?

Also what else can be used as stuffing that won't damage arrows?

How and what do you use to sew the baqs together?

Did he ever post the step by step used in his bags?

u can us the plastic that mattresses are shipped in...mattress stores will be glad to save ya a few...i just stuff one sack full with others and tie up with twin and start shooting it.

one of the best targets i ever used was a onion sack stuffed with an old blanket...worked for many years as a camp target
