Building Archery Targets

[greybark]

There are two types of Donacona board . The one with a slightly dark coloured resin added is a no go, however the lighter coloured stuff is ok.

does anyone know where a guy can pick up some of those asbestos ceiling tiles that they make big archery targets out of?

Any hard ware stor should have them...

I made mine out of DonnaConna cut in 12 inch strips and stacked.4 ft. x 4 ft.Held together with a length of ready rod top and bottom,worked great.

I think the best archery target is a burlap sack ( from a coffee importer for free ) filled with plastic bags. Arrows come out easily and it has stopping power.

a bag of plastic works ..but not real good for high speed bows.

with the cost of donacona its cheaper to buy a bulldog target.... i need to build a good target for fita 900 rounds. One afternoon will shoot out the center of a dona cona butte.

I merged the two threads about this one topic, so all the replies and info should be here in this thread.

I got one of those "Bull Dog" targets for Christmas. It's the "Dog House". It's not for broadheads, but it's perfect for field tips. Best $100 you'll ever spend - plus they're guaranteed for life.

Fire up the table saw and cut cradboard into strips (just like your DonnaConna) and you can find it anywhere there is a cardboard recycling bin. I just use a couple of 2x6 on edge screwed to another on flat and ready rod the two ends. Its cheap to replace bad sections and I just set it up on a couple of those cheap work benches. Just have to keep it dry.

Hi Bow Walker,

I was going to build my own, but for $100 shipped, no stand to be built . . . Only 2 questions remain: can I leave outside in the rain? Can I leave it on the ground?

Thanks!
