I have been shooting at 5-6 yds for the last few weeks and my layered foam boss has taken a beating.
Normally when arrows start to shoot through, I dismantle the frame and throw away the badly damaged parts. I then re assemble with the top and bottom good bits in the middle, and put the larger, part sheets at the top and bottom. I get about 2/3 of a boss to shoot at.
This time, I just didn't feel like dismantling; and it looked as if there were very few sheets that would be usable anyway.
But, rather than discard it I have re hung it from the garage roof. Instead of shooting at the front or the back, as is normal, I have hung it from 4 corners so I am shooting at what was the top edge of the boss. I am looking at an area of about 30cm tall by 60-70cm wide. When that gets shot out, there is still the bottom to aim at!!
