I use ratchet straps to get compression. it takes less than a minute to tighten them down or take them off. I discovered this when i started to wear through an old layered target but didn't want to buy a new one. That is my preferred method for compression.

@@brandyjackson6990 good point! I hadn't thought of that.

I made a target like this roughly 13 years ago. The arrows get stopped by the compression just like The Block targets. It's cheap and pretty easy to make. Bonus is you can make as big as you want. Next time I will put it on wheels to move it around yard for various angles and treestand practice

Great Idea. I own a carpet store I get tons of old carpet in the dumpster everyday.

just finished my carpet target... works great. thanks for sharing bro

Made this exact target with some 4by4 laid out legs underneath and I've probably shot 5-6k arrows with no wear or problem spend around 25 bucks and I have a huge badass target which is heavy but HD aswell. Lifetime target so thanks ! Hoyt nitrum 30 #70lbs

Manuel Morales Yeah I made the same target seven years ago I noticed extreme wear on my arrow shafts,Target last long time but arrows don’t last as long. The glue backing is abrasive.

Amazing idea. I guess i need to start looking for some carpeting

You are a genius. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks mate great idea

I did this using 1/2 inch all thread a stack of carpet that was around 40 inches tall and I also used 4×4s then compressed down to 20 inches to stop my 10 p0int crossbow 400 fps my bolts bury almost to the fletchings. My 70lb bow only penetrated about 8 inches. Planning on adding another set of 4x4s and 2 more all treads to tighten center of the target to get less penetration from bolts

Nice idea bro really awsome

I’ve had a block for 5 years now but heck yeah for the person with the material going to not move to around this is great.. I’ve seen cardboard boxes wrapped with duct tape and filled with strips of old clothing . I have a block because it’s light and I can easily carry and throw it in my truck . Otherwise I ll keep using bails of hay is the easiest way to get right into shooting quickly but I like this idea .

Good job.... Thank you...

I just finished making target from the old carpet that I found on somebody's driveway. I cut it to the long stripes 8 inches wide, then rolled in one big roll (with 1*1 inch piece of wood in a center) and tightened with ratchet straps. I had those straps for many years, and never used them. Otherwise maybe it's not wise to buy straps for such purpose, cause they might get destroyed. Total diameter is about 18 inches. Stops arrows good.

I made the exact same target I mean exactly 7 years ago still using it today but the only drawback and it is kind of big is the fact that the carpet backing, the glue wears your Arrow shafts Way ,way faster than other targets.

glue ?

Local range uses these but truly ate up my carbon arrow shafts.

So far I think this is the best idea for the longevity of the target and arrows but it still quite a bit of work and cash investment even if one bought those $1 carpet precut squares. So my thought is has anyone tried using a wood frame w/ a bundle of rockwool as the stuffing and an easy to change front face made of cardboard.. any sound opinions?

dam good idea!

How far is the holes you drilled from the end?

Carpet is awesome for heavier bows ,i just get a big piece and fold it till it won't fold anymore and end up with a target that's a foot thick and 2x3 feet

Like the gentleman said below, go to a carpet store and get your carpet. They are constantly trying to get rid of it. Nice idea!

I would like to see some video of shooting arrows into the carpet stack please. Look like to much compression might damage my arrows.

Shawn Hill It’s not the compression that ruins arrows it is the abrasive glue back in on the carpet. I have used this target for seven years now, it really is only good for a backstop for your other targets.

Hello. It turned out to be a good arrow catcher. Tell me please. The rigid basis on which the carpet is made does not spoil arrows?

There's enough carpet there for 50 targets, any container filled with plastic bags, filling, anything that suits, top off with 1 piece or carpet, bind around container with masking tape, turn facing, one great target, 12 months minimum use, even in bad weather. Replace the top piece when tatty. Job sorted.

Carpet has a backing that is abrasive from 80 to 30 grit sandpaper that target is going to eat your arrows. Your better off using the carpet padding under carpet in your house

Yeah, I'd like to know how much this thing is eating the arrows, especially after a whole summer of practice. I once put bare carpet on a hardwood floor to temporarily cover it, when we moved it about six months later, it had 'sanded' into the hardwood. I had to pay to have the floor refinished! For $10 a piece, I'll stick with picking up a couple of those foam/plastic targets from WalMart! Be well, Don
