Hi, I'm wanting to make a home-made target and I have an idea for one. I'm thinking of stacking a bunch of catalogues and putting them in a box. The catalogues are hard backs though so I'm wondering if this might damage the arrows at all and if I should take the hard backing off.
Here's a picture of how I would be laying out the books. I won't be shooting into the face of the books but rather into the pages as I've heard it'll last a lot longer like this, sort of acting in a similar way to the foam layered targets. Piling them up to about 60cm and have two columns of books will give roughly give me a 60 x 60 target.
Then maybe put a metre square of a soft wood to prevent my arrows from destroying the fence (not that I ever miss the target, it's my dad I'm worried about as he wants to start shooting too )
