very nice... thanks for posting. Your picture is just a little tto big for this old site's rules. The rule says nothing larger than 500 on the largest side, but the mod has been OK with up to 640. Your is a little larger than that and may be deleted. Thanks for posting. I used 3D targets until I lost a dozen in a fire. I now use cheap hay bales and painted burlap sack that cost me $2 each.

I hope it's your building behind all those 3D's

I'm always interested in how others repair their targets. Please show us your tricks.

Yes my barn in the background, it's behind a 5 foot retaining wall. Thanks for resizing my picture

Nice range. I only have two 3-d targets.

The guy that runs our local dump keeps an eye out for them. He knows that I make my own bows and if someone’s wife makes them get rid of a nice target, he sets it aside for me.

I have one set up behind my house by my garden. I also have a tree stand there to practice from.

Pretty realistic target. I have had a buck mount it a couple times now. Watched the whole thing.

I’ve never owned a piece of land big enough for that many targets, I would love it.

I use the 2 part pourable flexible foam- the 15# is great stuff

I dig out the bad spots, lay it down then pour it in sometimes adding the fibers from my other targets- a little fiber makes it tougher- too much and the foam doesn't bond.

The stiff foam is a little cheaper but not as good.

Thanks for the insight Beendare. I try it all, and I can tell anyone, with confidence, that hotmelt glue is not a good idea.

I just use great stuff spray from Home Depot or Lowes.

At the archery club we use the spray foam, plastic wrap and spray paint. It works very well and extends the life by years.
