Here we go.....another project added to my list. Think this one’s coming before the string building jig. Good vid, cute kid. Thank you and good hunting!
Outdoor Highlife that’s great to hear man. My kids are pretty much my opposite. Don’t want nothing to do with it so that’s a blessing for you. Just laughed at the 4’x48” remark again lol I’ve collected everything I need now, but season in exactly two weeks here and been flinging broadheads at my layered target. I do have a roll of 85cm (70m) target faces I can’t wait to use after I quit smelling like a girl deer!
Awesome work mate from Queensland Australia. I have my first compound bow ordered and on its way and will be making something like this target asap. How has the target held up? Would you do anything differently?
Hey man!! Sorry I just seen this!! Congrats on your first compound! Man the target has held up very well! If I would do one thing different would be to build it just a tad smaller. It is big and on wheels but its pretty heavy when rolling it around. Im thinking next time I will build one roughly 4'x4'. I would build it exactly the same but just a little smaller. Good luck hunting!
@@OutdoorHighlife thanks for the reply. Our local hardware store bales up their soft plastic waste using a machine. It is packed super tight into a cube 80cm x 80cm x 50cm. I then built the box around those dimensions using your general design. I used the target for the first time today and worked well. Arrows penetrated about 6 inches. Super hard to pull them out so hopefully it will soften up with use.
Did you just stack the foam board in layers? Was it difficult to pull the arrows from the foam? I have a ton of extra foam board laying around the garage.
@@zackbussey9874 Yes I used 6 layers of Rigid foam. It's not too hard to get out if you rub some arrow lube on the arrow before shooting it. If you don't, it may be a struggle to get the arrow out. After you shoot unto it for a while it'll be easier to get out.
I bet foam board would work! May have to try it. It was just plastic that I purchased from Lowes. Like the plastic painters use but a little thicker. It comes in a big roll.
