A range will blow that out in a week. I have a larger version of this called the range beast. It was $600 for a 48 x 48. It is ok as a backstop. You can blow out spots very quickly if you shoot spots on it. I hate to say it but a bag target is about the best thing you can get for durability and ease of pull.

I mad a square out of 12” plywood rips, stapled a dog food bag on one side then stuffed it with as many rags as I could, then stapled another dog food bag on the other side. I shoot 20-50 arrows on average every other day for the past 3 yrs. When the the face gets worn, I staple another bag on. I live in Arizona and my target endures the worst elements .

I asked Scott exactly the same upgrade on the longhorn pro micro and now I am happy they got it! I just bought one expert and I have great expectations on it as l have also the old longhorn red III and the micro as well, which are my favourite releases ever. I have also the Ascent and I never had a problem with the moons moving. I totally agree with you also about the handle of the longhorn compared with the Ascent.

Ascent is an awesome release . Shooting them for years never had one move after it was set or heard of it from anyone else.

But does the adjustment stay? Many guys have complained about the ascent because you would make adjustments.. then the thing would move on ya! Does this new model stay put when you set it? One of the real goats in the truball Ht and the HBC. if they made these two release have babies.. The ht non taper with the 3rd finger curl of the HBC. it would be perfect…. add texture inside on the 2, 3rd finger and leave the index finger smooth. man that would be epic.

$80 ??? LOL

Cheaper just buy a made one shit another 30 and you can get a doe target

I’ve had my Ascent for a while now and it’s my absolute favorite release. The ONLY downside is the rubber band, so when I saw this, I knew I needed one. Haven’t ordered it yet, but it’s on the short list

Too small for that much money

I made a 4x4 ft target backstop from laytaof carsboard sandwiched between 2x6s w all thread, lasted for many years without needing anything

Don’t like having to leave all that crap on it

48 x48 ldf target is 170

I made the same target using 1/2" mats (24' squares cut in half) from Harbor Freight. I only use it for testing my broadheads, however, because I found the heat generated from the friction of the target arrow shafts melted the mats to the shafts and made their removal nearly impossible! I thought about "loosening" up the nuts so the mats wouldn't be compressed so tightly, but instead, I made a mammoth target out of discarded floor carpeting I got from a local flooring company when they did a "tear out" to put in new carpet. I cut the carpet in (I think) 14 or 18" widths, 4' long, and stacked them up about 5.5' high! THE CARPET TARGET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE cuz it's so large, but it's strictly an outdoor target, covered with a tarp when not in use, where I enjoy sharpening my technique at distances up to 100yds. With the foam (broadhead) target, I use a piece of horse stall mat, (3/4") that hangs freely ( can swing if/when hit) from a 2x4 about 8-10" behind the foam target. The reason for this is that as everyone knows, it doesn't take long to "shoot out" the mats, and to prevent total pass throughs, the broadhead arrow hits the stall mat, it gives a bit, and with the friction on the shafts, even when the foam is in poor condition, it stops the arrows w/o pass through. I always get a broadhead pass through, so I just unscrew the broadhead before pulling the shaft out which really helps extend the longevity of the foam layers. And, as you've shown here, it is very easy to loosen the nuts and "shuffle" or just replace those pieces that necessary. I've even taken the shot out pieces, and if their not already in 2 pieces, I cut them, put the shot out ends to the outside and solid ends to the middle and get even more life out of them! Sorry for the excessive explanation......

I did something similar. I collected dozens of oil boxes from auto stores. Broke them don flat and layered them in between the wooden boards and tightened. I used it to practice with my crossbow.

Doesn't appear to be a self healing type of foam and will be shot out quickly?

That’s really a good deal. That hard chips of plastic and foam molded/bonded is better than those cloth stuffed Morrel targets. Those bag targets are way over priced anymore. I’ve seen this material at a few ranges in huge 3x3’ and it’s good stuff. Didn’t even know this was for sale. Even the Morrel replacement bag covers are nearly $30 each now plus freight. And the prices on the 3-d animal targets has gotten ridiculous.

Best target in the world is a cardboard box whatever size you want and stuff it with old clothes and costs nothing. Once it gets shot out get another box. Arrows stop like nothing and a toddler could pull out the arrow. Your welcome!!

Good review. I purchased a portable target Walk-on Archery 'MarXman' that looks like it contains that same stuff. It reminds me of very thick carpet padding. This looks like a great DIY solution if you have the space for it. The Walk-on version makes me think you might want to wrap a bag around it to deal with the flacking.

I want to give you a tip. Please listen but on the end, you do you. That NOSE button. Get rid of it. It’s not needed at all. I did not see where you hold your hand at full draw, but here is what I have done for decades. The knuckles of my release holding hand, they anchor behind my jaw bone. Bone on bone anchor. At FULL draw. Then you have the peep, then the front sight. That’s three points of reference. I see some who still use a kisser button and a nose button. These are unneeded things and they add weight to your strong that should not be there. That nose button does nothing do you and than making YOU feel better, but it is not needed. Many anchor on the side of their face. That is NOT an anchor. That’s where full draw is for them though. Maybe you too. I could not see that hand placement. But like I said, with a good solid anchor point, the peep and the front sight, that’s all you need. Two points is enough with today’s bows having draw stops, but I still like a solid bone on bone anchor point. In the end, you do you, but that is one extra thing you are worrying over than you don’t need to. Imagine a short hunting now with an extreme string angle. How can you get your. One on that without leaning your head down to touch it? Also an extremely long bow like a target bow and the string comes beside your nose. That’s there your eye is anyway. You sue os jot in the middle of your forehead. Think about that one. No need worrying where the string is. Solid anchor, peep and front sight. 3 points of alignment. More than with a rifle, am I correct? Just front and rear sights there.

J.R. Outdoors sent me over to your channel. Good build on the target 👍

Did you buy the bow press?

Hey, thanks man. Pulling that arrow looked easier than I expected. I think I’ll look into building a target using your idea.

Looks awesome going give it a try this weekend

Email sent!

Great video. Only thing, how hard is it to pull out the arrows? Could you make a short video shooting a few arrows at that 3 yard distance and show yourself pulling them out? Thanks.

I did this but with cardboard. A ton of cardboard and the arrow only goes half way in. Layers make a different and how hard you squeeze it all.

Well did you come to a conclusion on the hat brim eye glass yet?

I love this idea. I'm making some tonight and will trying it out. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video. You did a great job of explain everything about your build and price break down. One thing that i have found is that TEMU is selling different "brands" of products, but they don't allow them to advertise their brand name (one of their vendors told me about it). So you never know what you are buying, and their descriptions suck. It's seems to be hit or miss with many of their product, but i have found some good buys on certain things. overall great video. You earned my sub.

Do you sale arrows?

Dude that is awesome.. Good find

I built my DYI target in a very similar way about 10 years ago. I went overkill with 5/8" this all-thread and used 2x4s on top and bottom. I agree with you on the mat thickness. I will revert back to the 1/2" thick puzzle mat. I have shot the heck out of the 1" thick mats and it works just fine, but, it seems that the thicker layers break down a little quicker than the 1/2". Great video! Keep them coming.

I got these stickers for those longer ranges . give me a better point of aim and much cheaper ...

I had to bite the bullet here recently and go with contacts!!!!

hahaha Right there with you brother , 54 , the glasses living on the t shirt lmao , just started my archery game again after 3/4 years away and wow , cant see my pin lol , so added a verifier peep which is amazing , BUT , yes , yardage tape and other things , no go , I like this idea of that hat clip , ordered and then came back to comment ... I can also see it useful for work

Are you holding the nock in certain position for EVERY arrow for consistency? or does that matter? maybe you covered that in other video ...

Too funny 😁. I'm hitting 55 this year and struggling with this as well. Good idea...may have to gibe it a try!

It’s not ridiculous it’s awesome I’m 65

I've been thinking about attaching a magnifying glass of some sort to my sight tape to help with that

I'm 52. I can't see close to adjust my sight or far to see my target. I hate shooting with glasses on as it causes alignment issues with my peep and glare. They also cause fogging if I try and hunt with them. I ask my buddy if my sight is set where I want it at 3D shoots. My shoulders are a mess because I'm a carpenter, and I still ride snowboards and skateboards ( genX all the way). I now have lupus, and it's attacking my hands, so I can't shoot my handheld releases or my many traditional bows without a lot of pain. So, to answer your question, yes, I can relate to your problems. I like the monocle. I may have to get one. It might also help me see to tie fishing knots as that's another problem I have.

I'm 54 have the exact same problems plus I'm blind in my left eye. This is an awesome product. I will be buying one been going to make the same video just about being old. I always hear people talking about the 10 year plan I don't have. 10 years left in my plan.lol Keep it up. I just gave you a subscribe.

Wait till you hit 55. Ya ain’t seen nothing yet 😂😂

I was laughing my a$$ off this whole video 😂

Great content try sanlida dragon 10 pure carbon arrows 2 dozen for $80

Great content, and I love your arrow saw. I built something very similar.

The series of events that you went through with bend testing and then nock tuning through paper is almost exactly how I came to the conclusion it was a great way to start getting things lined up.

Did you shoot them?
