The dry comedy is strong in this Jedi! Love the shoe string insert vid. I have ton of rice bag & bird feed bags. I’m planning to build a 5’x4’ wide target. The extract height is for walk-back tuning.
I have never owned a compound bow and at 71 years old , I doubt that I ever will . That being said , I was compelled to check out you channel because of the catchy name . You have a lot of very cool subject matter and I look forward to cruising through your posts .
I've stuffed plastic in burlap for so long now and just settling for a red painted dot because targets won't stick to the burlap. Then suddenly you just put it in cardbord and I feel stupid and saved all at once! Great!
I have built these befor but not with the carbord Box. I'll have to give that a try next time. One of the nice things with these is that once the bag starts to fall apart you can just put the whole thing in a new bag and keep going.
Absolutely! The burlap's great for surving through the ages. The cardboard helps start set the shape in the right direction, but after hundred+ shots the face is almost gone :-P Check out my video where I stress test this bag to 406 shots to achieve a vanes-deep penetration. Working on a new vid comparing this durability to just latteral cardboard comoressed vertically!!! Glad you enioyed the vid! :-D
Did something similar a few months ago, but I found out that Shrink Wrap material makes it hard to remove arrows. It had some pieces in my target I took out as a result. Just raided my company's garbage for about 1wk to fill-up two 24"24" targets. Rad.
Seems crazy to me shooting in your back yard. Good job with the target bag, but one slip and an arrow ifgoi g to punch through that fence into next door or the street?
Yup! It is crazy! But…as your not-a-lawyer giving you not-any-legal advice please ensure gaps in fence boards are not wider than diameter of arrows, and/or have a plywood backdrop, and/or do not high draw, and/or aim low so any miss shoots into the ground, and/9r ensure there are no people or animals on the other side of the fence, and or ensure you're shooting towards your own shed or garage or a structure you own or have permission to shoot towards, and/or examine and obey your local municipality bylaws!! Never shoot towards street/people/animals/other property without either a) permissiom AND safety assessment, or b) a really good lawyer… Safety first!
@@liveandletfly lol. Nice response. Basically in the UK (i'm an Archer myself) and we'd not be covered by GB Archery insurance. Like you say, it's your own risk but hope you don't have any dodgy releases.. Regarding those compounds, I can tell you I'd expect the arrows at that range to push through. Perhaps get a spare plank and try in one day
Great Britain Archery insurance? I don't know much about this! Every place is different for insurance, obviously, but is the GB Archery insurance tied to anything historical?!?! Sounds fascinating!

@@liveandletfly Hehe.

UK can be somewhat overzealous when it comes to pointy dangerous things lol. Saw that 'dodgy' release vid / shooting aid failure! Its a few years back now, but me (with my Longbow)and another guy with his 90lb compound bow @80 yards (metres ish) saw him miss and the arrow punched through nearly 3 inches of the solid pine target frame. The arrow shaft nearly went clean through baring a few cm's lol. I was always a little dismissive of the power of those things until I saw that :) You stay safe 🙏
yeah! 90lb compound…your friend's a beast…recurve to compound is a different game…90+ lb compounds that's a whole new next level game! I've trained to draw on target so if there is a release failure I don't miss. The footage you saw was a D-loop failure…I 100% knew better, but kept putting off replacing it.

Excellent video from Jimmy the Bag Man, who knew !!! As to my guess as to which arrow will penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target? So my answer would be , none of the arrows will be able to penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target. From my observation I think that the back of the bag is too close to the fence , and therefore the arrow would have to go through the target bag, then proceed with some lost energy , through the fence, penetrating the fence deep enough to be able for vanes to touch the target .
Interesting observation! Please Note: safety is always #1. The bag has 1.5m clearence before the fence. and there is due care to ensure no person or animal is behind the fence at the time of any shooting! For the remainder of the tests the bag will be hung up in a garage for even greater safety :-D
