Default Great Stuff Target

I had a brainstorm to go get some cans of "Great Stuff" foam from Lowes.
I sqirted 5 cans in a cardboard box and let it sit up for a few days. Well, my arrows go right through it so don't waste your $$$ on that.

I bet if you would have layered the cardboard it might have worked, but i dont know ive never tried it.

Really? I would have thought an arrow would have stopped? Are you sure the foam was completely dry and there weren't any air pockets in it?

Hmmm...I guess I'll have to remember this one. Thanks for letting me know.

Go back to Lowes or any like store and get a 4X8' sheet of blueboard insulation or even Celetex and cut it to 2X2' or likeable size and glue them together....

Of course you can simply buy a target.

lol, I can't say I haven't tried a few idea's too. The blue board does work good, but doesn't last very long IMO.

Get some accustic ceiling tiles from a construction job... I throw them away all the time... Band them and they work great.

Or buy one or two or five like I have.

Burlap bags full of shrink wrap work wonders.

Used to work for an RV/Boat maintanance place and they were always throwing out old shrink wrap in the spring.

Stops your arrows cold, depending on how tightly you fill the bag up.
