The Will-Stop Bag Target is constructed from a woven polypropylene material that resists mould and mildew and will stand up to thousands of shots. It will stop carbon arrows and crossbows bolts moving at a velocity of 350 feet per second and when you retrieve your arrows, you will find an easy two-finger removal. Each Will-Stop Bag Target is filled with a long-lasting, waterproof polyester netting that beats anything else on the market for durability and arrow stopping efficiency. Leave it outdoors all year long if you want to.
Two sided target has heavy-duty metal grommets in each corner for hanging. These are perfect for outdoor or indoor ranges. Available in two sizes.
The Large Size Will-Stop Target Measures 26-inches wide and 34-inches high.
The Small Size Will-Stop Target measures 23-inches wide and 27-inches high.
When you finally shoot through your Will-Stop Target simply stuff the entire thing, old cover and all, into a new cover and keep on shooting. If you want to save some money (and who doesn't?) just buy the cover and stuff it yourself with recycled plastic grocery bags. Specify size.
The Ames All-Weather Pillow-Targets have been called the "biggest advance in target faces since the invention of paper" and have become the choice of serious bowhunters everywhere. Each life-like life-sized deer target is made with colorful waterproof ink printed onto heavy-duty Hessian fabric. Two targets are sewn back-to-back to form one pillow target.
Stuff the Ames pillow targets with plastic bags from the super market or shrink-wrap pallet wrapping from the timber yard and you've got yourself a terrific all-weather practice butt that will stop arrows from the heaviest high-speed compound hunting bows. You can count on your Ames Pillow target to absorb at least 4000 shots before it will need replacing.
Each Ames Deer Pillow target is 44 inches (1.12 meters) wide by 41 inches (1.05 meters) high before stuffing.
Rag-Bag targets are shipped empty saving us (and you) a large transport bill. We use one of these in the shop to test bows. It takes hundreds of shots a day and comes up smiling. You can stuff it with just about anything from old rags, wool, or recycled plastic bags. We use plastic shopping bags and they stop the bolts from our 200 pound Horton crossbows cold. You can, of course do the same thing with fertiliser bags or wool bales, but because of the open weave of the fabric, these will last about ten times as long. The size of the Rag-Bag Stuff Target is a generous 32"X 34". Each Target has a sturdy hook-and-loop closure on the top edge and corner loops for hanging.
The most important consideration when setting up a new archery range is, of course, safety. You must position your target butts so that there is no chance of a stray arrow doing any damage to property, animals or persons. Once a safe location is found, the next considerations are the direction of the sun and the backstop. It is impossible to shoot accurately into the sun and trying to do so can cause serious damage to eyesight, so position your target with the sun to your back or off to one side.
Next, check your backstop. One of the most popular places for an archery range is in the middle of a flat paddock or field with lots of room behind the target butt for arrows that miss can expend their excess energy and fall safely to earth. Unfortunately, if you select this kind of setup, you will probably spend more time looking for lost arrows than you will shooting them. Arrows have an uncanny way of disappearing forever when they are shot into even the shortest grass cover. Whenever possible, it is much better to shoot into a hillside, and a backstop that slopes even gently upward will be a big improvement over flat ground. If you must shoot on flat terrain (and sometimes we don't have any choice) use a large target butt and stand close enough so that you don't miss very often.
