Target Renewal
« on: March 03, 2013, 02:46:39 PM »
This target was 10 years old and falling all to pieces.  With a replacement cover from Bass Pro and a few minutes work, it's like new again.

I love the bag targets Swampy. My only complaint was the arrows would move around and I could clip another easier. Ease of retrieval trumped my need to stack several into one spot.


You liking the graphites?


I really need to start working with my bows. I'm afraid my shoulders are trashed too much for the 64# Chastain, its a shame but there it is. I have a nice gentle old Bear Kodiak Hunter that may once again be on first team.

you shoot more at a time than i do.
if i shot that many, i'd have at least
one broken or cracked shaft.

every time i drag out a bow and a few
arrows, mr. murphy notices and runs over
and stands behind me. now, i just shoot
two or three at a time to keep from
busting any up. i really dig a bag target.
i've learned better now to keep 'em out
of the weather and they'll last longer

You can't break these carbon arrows.  I've shot them into trees, 4X4 post, and concrete.  They don't break.  #45 is the most I can shoot.  Even then my shoulder sounds bad.

Probably not in Florida but if you hit a rock they will shatter especially on a glancing blow. I shattered a few when I was living in New Mexico and shooting & hunting only with my bows.  :o

I deflected one of a 4X4 the other day at a 45 degree angle.  It tore a big chunk out of the 4X4 but the arrow was unharmed.

If you really want to make them tough, put a 3/4" long footing around the shaft behind the insert. 2016 aluminums fit perfectly over my Gold Tip trads.  Secure with hot glue.  I used to have a few split at the insert when I hit something hard, but with the footing I have hit cinderblock and they just bounce back
