It's exactly what I was looking for, I live in a college and don't have access to my own workshop neither corn sacks and believe me, I don't have clothes or blankets I don't use, so I cardboard is my most accessible material. This guy's a genius, THANK YOU!!!
Q1
I stack phone books inside a box. Make sure you don't shoot directly into the cover, but instead into the pages between the covers. Tie them with string really tight like bails of hay.
so...i ordered my own bow and arrow set through Amazon and was wondering how to prepare and set up a target for practice. Thanks for sharing this option, i have everything at home and wouldn't cost me a cent :)
Glad I could help :)
😢
Excellent video! This is a much better solution than all of the "$40 archery target!" videos that also require a thousand dollars of tools and supplies, but get their "$40" figure from how much some plywood and screws costs. I will definitely be giving your design a shot (pun intended) when I get my bow! :)
stuff a few rags in the empty spaces and wrap a rice bag or sandbag over this and boom u have an official DIY archery target....Great job
I save all of my empty chicken feed grain bags and double layer them and works great.
I would add 2 or 3 layers of fabric inside de couble first layer for high poundage bows and additional durability
ill just pack my box fully with cardbored
Good enough for my crappy garden bow, thanks!
Just the info I needed.
Thank you!
Thank you! Definitely going to make it
I had one I bought only n ruin my arrows, they tips got stock inside, hard to remove or the will bounce out braking the tips, crazy!!
I checked for professional targets online and the prices are insane 😭 the cheapest are $250 😱 this means my archery school had spent about $25.000 in targets 😱 omg… that’s the last thing ever pass through my mind, as some targets are up to $565 😦😦 insane!!
thanks, now i can make my own target 🎯
Thanks for the diy. Finally found how to do target easily.
This is brilliant! Thank you 😊
Love the slow mo. Great idea
😂
Thanks a lot! I was worried that I had to spend a lot of money on a target but this solved my problem
You can find all the free cardboard you need in and around dumpsters behind big stores on the day after their deliveries.
no more worrying about getting another membership when I get my bow
This is a good idea. I recently used cardboard boxes taped together as part of a backdrop and it works very well. This is a good easy to follow video. Thankyou :-)
Thanks :) Im glad you like it.
Simple and cheap , good idea bro
This is wonderful idea
Easy and cheap, no tools required and it's basically free !
In the past I have taken a box and layered the inside with old newspapers. Actually works
Haha I actually do that too. Just filled one now with a bunch of wrapping paper from Christmas.
@@javieroliva5583 lol
It's better if you stack the cardboard inside the box so the arrow goes in between the layers of cardboard instead hitting the broad side of the cardboard.
Nice!
Very good info.
thank you for your time
very resourceful
Good piece of work..
Thanks :)
Would love to see this vs a 250+FPS compound with 500gn arrows
You already know that outcome, he build it for a slingshot.
I was watching this in hopes of finding a target to build for my 310 fps mission bow this us definately not it when he shot the empty box is probably similar to if I would have shot the target
@@blakesilverthorn2170 pretty much same here
Thanks so much sir
Make sure you watch till the end. The fly's buzzing around in slow was the best part
Thank you.
Ok this works I have a lot of boxes in my garage and plastic bags so I took a chip box it’s rectangular but I took paper and I drew the target in the box and I put lots of plastic bags on it and it worked great
Thanks... 😆
Woww brow
This target looks very thin, I would minimum double the layers of cardboard on both sides. Rather I would tend to pack the cardboards in layers from the bottom to the top and press them together with strings. It's more work but it is clearly much safer
Can you put a link to where you got the target paper really would appreciate it thx
This is exact but i suggest to make it bigger and add some dry grass and sticks in it..😊😊😊😊
which website did you use for the online archery target. It would be really useful for the project im doing. Great video!
I don't remember the exact website. I just googled archery target at the time.
I BUILT ONE, MY WALL GOT WRECKED. This is not strong enough to handle a real bow that shoots an arrow at 300 fps. if you add sand or strong foam like horse mat in the middle layer, it can become stronger. Alternatively you can make ballistic gelatin and stuff it in the middle layer, this would make it easier to remove the arrow.
sir, can you tell me your bow's pulling lbs ? i'm tend to make some of these diy targets and not sure if it can stop my 40lbs traditional tatar bow
Stuff it with old rags...and I mean STUFF. Tape the box shut and it works. My bow is at 45lbs draw and I shot at 20 yards. Went about 4inches in and stopped
I did this yesterday after looking at some boxes I'd orderd stuff in. Just stuffed with crap and put a tile in the back
Loooooool
I wonder if this will hold up against a high power bow? I shoot at 75 lbs.
How much bow poundage can the target take. Any idea?
Funny , my target is made the same way, expect the weight and tape/glue lol
My compound bow would go right through. Good for traditional I guess.
I really want to shoot a compound bow one day. It looks awesome.
@@MiiBooth I have a 80lb draw on mine and that's considered tame. Goes right through a deer no problem. They are fun, hope you get a chance one day!
Will this work for an actual bow?
Eamon Fitzgerald I don’t know I’m wondering that as well I’m going to make on and try it with my compound
did it work?
Of course if will bruh
Will this work for a 40 lbs bow?
Hi @MiiBooth where did you print your archery target? Can you give us the link? I hope you reply💖
Hi,
Sorry, I don’t remember now. It was quite a long time ago. I just googled archery target and then downloaded the image i found suitable
@@MiiBooth okay thanks for the reply have a nice weekend💖
I have 80lb long bow and a 175lb crossbow its works OK.
My question is has anyone made this for a compound bow with a 60lbs draw
I think this would be a great target but... There is no way that hand-held sling shot is anywhere near the poundage of a 30, 40 or 50 pound bow. The amount of material on the inside of the box might need to be considered. More importantly, this will never hold up for any length of time outside.
Can you please make a video on how to make a bow? Just asking
You should visit Backyardbowyer's CZcams channel
Would grass work
I am useing 30-35 lbs is it strong enough?
Yes
I would think that no. maybe it stops the arrow but there is a good chance that the arrow punches through the target on close range
You think this would work with a 370 FPS crossbow??
Imagine he missed the target and fucked up his paint on the wall (happened to me)
wont work for my bow :( to stronk
What is yours?
@@alexa_cope9186 75 lbs
Dang why is it at 75 lbs?
Isn’t the normal like 50-60?
@@oak_corvum i have no idea, but it was a 600 dollar bow lmao
@@oak_corvum I shoot #29 recurve in my backyard at 18 meters or 20 yards. I exercise and work out and that is still plenty for backyard. #75 is good for that one kill shot for big game.
Isn't it bad to shoot cardboard that isn't staked on top of each other... like yours...lllolll
????????
It's not really recommended to shoot into stacked cardboard, but if you want to spend the money on extra tips, then go for it. Keep in mind he's using a slingshot bow(less lbs).. Compound bows have a minimum of 30lbs draw. I'm guessing the slingshot is roughly that or less.
