Title: any good backstop ideas
Post by: GOLDTIP on August 08/23/07, 01:22:10 PM
does anyone know of any good (cheap) ideas for a backstop with easy arrow removal   my buddy gave me 1 idea that seems to work good for him  it is just a wood frame on the bottom built from 2x4's and a top frame the same size and then cuts used carpet into strips and uses a rerod on each side to sandwich it down to the desired tightness and the arrows pull easier than a block target literally u can use 2 fingers  this is the only one I know of thats good  and the only others I know of are the obvious chunk of styrofoam and buildrite sheeting which really sucks to pull arrows from.

The best homemade target I have ever made is a burlap bag filled tight with sheet poly (heavy plastic drop cloths). Sew the top tight paint taget face with spray paint. NOT FOR BROADHEADS.

Ditto that, Chisel.
