My wife got me the same type of target for our anniversary. It's kind of a smart idea to buy the bag and fill with material that could be put to good use again.
I love this because when you do shoot through the bag the clothes can just be reused in the next bag. Also super easy to extract (great idea) thanks 👍🏾
I've used the same idea with feed bags from the chickens and goats. They get heavy once they are soaked with rain. Ant will be making their home in the bag and crawling all over your arrows and hands. A much better target is a pile of sifted sand. You can practice with broad heads too. Leave a five gallon bucket filled with water next to the sand pile to swish off the sand after each shot. Works great until the ground freezes.
I love them, that's all I get pretty much now on, I bought when it was $35 about a year ago. Loaded up good, just make sure to stuff corners good, and I just ZIP tied the bottom up and still holding strong! Great buy for everyone! God Bless us all, from my family to yours. After season I'm down to 6 arrows now... Lol could use a few more 2 practice for TURKEY SEASON!!! I
Other companies let you just by the bag and inner bag comes with it, then just put over your shot out bag target and looks good, stop's well, and comes in a couple different sizes too! Check them out, they have the Bee 🐝 on it and get it off Amazon as well 😁👍
I buy the replacement covers from Morrell. Drop the old bag in and zip tie it closed. Zip ties included. But if you don't have one to start with, that would be the way to go. I wonder if saw dust would work?
It's an OK idea to use old clothes for one of these bags! We usually donate ours to goodwill. I used to work in a warehouse that received and shipped product all over the United States. Anyway to keep the rail cars packed tight and keep product from moving around. We would use this thing called an Air bag ! The bags where actually a lot like this bag your putting those clothes in. But what I found is that even if I stuffed it with clothes that are beat up bad and not something I would donate. That if I used it for broadheads. That if the arrow didn't make it all the way through the bag, so I could unscrew the head & pull the arrow back out. Well I either had to unscrew it & leave it in the bag or reach in & hope I could find it before it cut my fingers. But the best part of these rail bags was, you could almost draw a full size elk on them. Or you could draw myself & my daughter's favorite target, which was a Dart board. & We have literally been shooting at the same bag for going on 6 yrs . Then there is the one I used to practice shooting with broadheads, that one is going on 3 yrs. And counting! Anyway the thing I found best to stuff these bags with is shrink wrap. Yes the same problem occurs with broadheads getting stuck inside and having to dig them out. But the biggest difference is, with shrink wrap most of the time if you were unable to finish pushing the tip out the other side. Which wasn't very often. But if you can't, we'll you can trace the arrow and clear enough out that you can SEE the broadhead. In all the years we have been shooting at these targets , field points just pull right out of the shrink wrap, but with old Jackets, filling with polyester type filling, sometimes the field points and the insert would pull right out of the Arrow. Anyways just wanted to give a heads up on this before people start ruining Arrows . Oh and if you happen to get a pass through with clothes there is also A higher probability of loosing your fletches, then there is of loosing them shooting into shrink wrap. If you are curious about where to get this amount of shrink wrap. You can ask at warehouses that get Big truck deliveries or grocery stores that received their product on 16 wheel trucks too. But yes clothes are a legit Idea! But also so is shrink wrap. But if you live anywhere near business that use trains to deliver product you might be able to score both for free. YOU are always coming up with some great ideas.
@@seansoutdoors For real Sean if you live anywhere near business that still get deliveries from Trains or ship things out by trains . You should go see if they have any faulty air bags, the biggest difference between that bag you bought and railcar air bags is the railcar bag has a clear plastic liner that holds the air, the outside is made out of the same material as this bag. Oh and size, railcar bags are like 3 feet wide and 6 feet tall. When I was teaching my kids to shoot. We used 3D targets with 2 rail bags stacked behind them. So , well let's just say arrows 🏹 Where hardly ever lost. I still have 1 full size bag I stand on end, that I put behind my standing black bear 🐻 target. Just in case I have a flyer. Let's face it dang, Arrows are not getting any cheaper. I've tried taking local Archery club, into this idea. But beings how he works at the Archery business here in town, & his best friend owns it. Oh not to mention Arrows probably being one of their ever day money makers. Well they were not to fond about the idea. Let me ask you this while I'm on the subject. When you first got started in Archery, What was your first bow? Where did you buy it? And where did you buy your Arrows?

I use feed sacks with plastic bags for stuffing. I've considered clothes. Definitely gonna give it a try!
👍
Farmers have polythene film used to wrap stock feed bales that they have to get rid off. Stuff a cardboard box or a sack with it.

I did something very similar with the morrell XXL field target. Brand new is 400, I've gott about 125 into it.

That could be messy. I imagine it would come through the holes
@@seansoutdoors Never thought that far ahead. Good point. I was thinking so much of it and free. Oh well.
Great content as usual thanks Sean!!!
Thanks brother

Yeah I don't donate clothes with holes and stains like these. We usually just donate usable clothing.

When you first got started in Archery, What was your first bow? Where did you buy it? And where did you buy your Arrows?
Could you shoot broadheads with a crossbow in that bag. I dought it.
No, never shoot a broadhead into any bag target. It will slice it to pieces in no time.
Awesome
👍
That is away to reuse kids clothes. Ive made targets out boxes and packed them with plastic bags from Walmart. It can stop a crossbow bolt
👍
Walmart bags work good also
👍
Great target...been doing this for thirty years...no reason to pay the outrageous prices for commercial equivalent!
👍thanks
U donated clothes to a bow target smart
👍
simplifly by using zip ties
