How Do You Make Deer Archery Targets?
Archery has been called the highest test of skill for deer hunters. It requires patience and precision that someone using a rifle doesn’t have to worry about. The bow and arrow has a shorter accuracy range, and the only way to get better is through practice. But store-bought archery targets can be expensive. Here is a cheaper alternative. Buy two bales of hay. They can be found at most places that sell garden or outdoors supplies. Stack the bales of hay in the area you plan to shoot. It’s helpful if you have a backdrop behind the target area, such as a large mound of dirt to keep wayward arrows from going far. Brace the bales of hay using some cloth netting that can be bought at most sporting good stores. This will help keep the bales of hay together by placing the netting over the bales and stapling them tight. Some people use a wire netting, which is stronger, but can damage your arrows. Place a target on the bales of hay. You can use either about an inch-thick piece of plastic foam
