Looking for suggestions on a target that will hold up for a long time without breaking the bank... I got a block last year (low cost) and it's useless now.

I have a Rinehart 18-1 Archery Target and it is highly recommended and will last awhile.

I just got through building one. Found the idea on Archery Talk.



It's a 4' x 4' double sided target built out of 2x12's and some 1x4 trim. I got the target facing from a place called Third Hand Archery. It was $30 for the pair of target skins. It's packed pull of old clothes and stops a 300 fps arrow point blank about 6" deep. And you can pull it out with two fingers.

Here's a copy and paste of the plans. I added wheels to mine so I could move it around.

materials list

1 board 2"x12"x8'. Cut into one board 48" and one board 45"

1 board 2"x12"x12'. Cut into two boards 6 foot.

1 board 2"x8"x8'. Cut into two boards 2"x8"x3'. To be used as the feet to hold the target upright.

4 boards 1/4"x1 1/2" by 8'. Cut 4 boards 45" and 4 boards 48" for trim.

2 sheets of black plastic film 4'x4'

Staples and 3" wood screws.

A bunch of old clothes. About 3-4 55 gallon bags

1] cut a 8"x36" trap door in the middle of the 48" 2"x12"

2] lay boards on floor and screw the 48" 2x12 into the top of the two 6' 2x12's. Use a square when screwing them together.

3] Measure from the top of the top board down 48" on both 6' 2x12's. Keep the <font color="#FF0000">bottom of the 45" board on the 48"mark. Screw the 45" between the two 6' boards.

4] Staple black sheeting to front and back of box on all four corners. Over the top of the black plastic sheeting, staple all 4 corners of the skins snug without sagging. Once all four corners are snug then staple every 2" all the way around.

5] Screw in the trim boards overlapping the joints of the 2x12's.

6] Stand up target and screw in the 3' boards at the bottom of the 6' legs to make a foot to assist holding the target upright.

7]Toss the clothing in, cramming in the corners first and fill to the middle. For the higher poundage bows cram the rags in tighter all the way to the top.

Here's a link to where I got the idea from. They are supposed to last 1000's and 1000's of shots.

Thanks for the input. I scored four pieces of 6ft 3inch thick high density foam yesterday. Plus two more pieces that were 2x3ft.
