I have never owned a compound bow and at 71 years old , I doubt that I ever will . That being said , I was compelled to check out you channel because of the catchy name . You have a lot of very cool subject matter and I look forward to cruising through your posts .

Thanks Gregory! Never too late to give it a try though! 😁 Thank you!

I’ve used six layers of old carpet nailed to a frame only on the top . The carpet flexes when the arrow hits it , absorbs the energy . Lasts for a long time too .

The dry comedy is strong in this Jedi! Love the shoe string insert vid. I have ton of rice bag & bird feed bags. I’m planning to build a 5’x4’ wide target. The extract height is for walk-back tuning.

I've stuffed plastic in burlap for so long now and just settling for a red painted dot because targets won't stick to the burlap. Then suddenly you just put it in cardbord and I feel stupid and saved all at once! Great!

I have built these befor but not with the carbord Box. I'll have to give that a try next time. One of the nice things with these is that once the bag starts to fall apart you can just put the whole thing in a new bag and keep going.

Absolutely! The burlap's great for surving through the ages. The cardboard helps start set the shape in the right direction, but after hundred+ shots the face is almost gone :-P Check out my video where I stress test this bag to 406 shots to achieve a vanes-deep penetration. Working on a new vid comparing this durability to just latteral cardboard comoressed vertically!!! Glad you enioyed the vid! :-D

LMFAO you had me ad i can pay Cash Bajaja Thanks Man

Excellent video from Jimmy the Bag Man, who knew !!! As to my guess as to which arrow will penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target? So my answer would be , none of the arrows will be able to penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target. From my observation I think that the back of the bag is too close to the fence , and therefore the arrow would have to go through the target bag, then proceed with some lost energy , through the fence, penetrating the fence deep enough to be able for vanes to touch the target .

@liveandletfly

3 жыл бұрын

Interesting observation! Please Note: safety is always #1. The bag has 1.5m clearence before the fence. and there is due care to ensure no person or animal is behind the fence at the time of any shooting! For the remainder of the tests the bag will be hung up in a garage for even greater safety :-D

Great video! My guess - 888! 😄

Initial guess was about 100 after seeing the finished target bag!

Thank you.

Did something similar a few months ago, but I found out that Shrink Wrap material makes it hard to remove arrows. It had some pieces in my target I took out as a result. Just raided my company's garbage for about 1wk to fill-up two 24"24" targets. Rad.

I would guess 300 arrows for its survival rate. Burlap is pretty forgiving. Plus you can rotate it.

Seems crazy to me shooting in your back yard. Good job with the target bag, but one slip and an arrow ifgoi g to punch through that fence into next door or the street?

@liveandletfly

Yup! It is crazy! But…as your not-a-lawyer giving you not-any-legal advice please ensure gaps in fence boards are not wider than diameter of arrows, and/or have a plywood backdrop, and/or do not high draw, and/or aim low so any miss shoots into the ground, and/9r ensure there are no people or animals on the other side of the fence, and or ensure you're shooting towards your own shed or garage or a structure you own or have permission to shoot towards, and/or examine and obey your local municipality bylaws!! Never shoot towards street/people/animals/other property without either a) permissiom AND safety assessment, or b) a really good lawyer… Safety first!

It covers ppl that are part of Archery clubs, but we have to make sure the field has sufficient over shoot, warning signs etc. I guess many clubs couldn't afford it individually, so AGB must use the weight of all the hundreds of clubs as collective bargaining and price reduction? UK can be somewhat overzealous when it comes to pointy dangerous things lol. Saw that 'dodgy' release vid / shooting aid failure! Its a few years back now, but me (with my Longbow)and another guy with his 90lb compound bow @80 yards (metres ish) saw him miss and the arrow punched through nearly 3 inches of the solid pine target frame.

Certainly Mys. Mao! In testing the target, every arrow fired into the bag will be documented until an arrow goes through to the vanes--and/or until our arms fall off from exhaustion. This is for science, we need to be serious, there is obviously no room to be silly.

If you shoot like me, 1200. But if you’re good, I’d guess about 400.
