after watching all of these "make a diy target" safe to say that number one item needed which nobody has is a workshop and a factory that provides you with materials near your house
@@kalikasurf lmao yeah, literally all you need for a target is mainly wood, a hammer and nails (or a drill) and some sort of canvas or foam materials, and/or plastic sheeting/bags.
I have watched several vids on DIY archery targets and this vid is the best to watch and looks most practical. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this vid and share it. Great job!!
Great video. Gave me some good ideas for making a new and improved version. Looked like the steps were too many and overly tedious though. Definitely didn’t like all the staples - They’ll eventually be struck by an errant arrow or loosen from rust and end up on the ground for you or your dog to step on. I currently use a couple targets made out of a double heavy-duty burlap bag filled with sofa stuffing. They are very light to easily throw into the back of a pickup and they last forever - never matting up or failing to stop an arrow, at least from my 62 lb. osage orange longbow.
i use cartons discarded from my work just bind them with plastic wrapper and attach target which is homemade using spray paint, when its full of holes, throw in garbage and repeat.
Use to build small wooden cabin/tents with wooden dowels we would put soap on the dowel so it would swell inside the hole and create a permanent hold. Great target!
That's a pretty cool idea for a target! I'll have to remember this when my old target is worn out! I can use the foam inside it to put into one like this. I have most of the stuff already to make this. I was looking for a stand for my target when I found this. Liked.
Must not be seeing very many. While this will work, it is a lot of work for something that is designed to eventually break down. The spray foam isnt a durable material and will deteriorate rather quickly, especially with heavy draw bows. The semi-permanent construction makes it difficult to replace interior components.
Seriously? The very best target for all archery is a cardboard box filled with old clothes. Remove all buttons and zippers from clothes and cover the box with packing tape for durability. All free except the tape from the dollar store.
That's great if you got a ton of time on your hands I just took two burlap sacks put one inside the other and pack it full of heavy plastic and tie it shut and in 10 minutes I'm ready to go paint a Target on it and Wallah done
Nice video. Great idea, I made something like this. I excluded wooden frame. If You hit it it will damage the Al arrow for sure. Carbon is safe tu use on this.
my advice to you if you make another target use the same stuff, but make sure put a layer of old child's blankets and jeans(3 pair of jeans along with all those foam) in as well, cause a weak bow will not go through it, but a fast bow will later on
The vid should be titled, "How an OCD Person Makes an Archery Target", lol. Seriously pretty good job. The backside of the target more suitable for crossbows I imagine ;D
Best target I've found is a target butt made out of dirt/earth. It will stop anything and arrows are easy to pull out. It is cheap and available everywhere.
I use old kids rubber play tiles cut in half , stacked together about 3 foot high and strapped with a ratchet strap around a board at each end, that’s my back stop with another target in front
Cheaper & simpler: Collect lots of corrugated cardboard & simply tie &/or glue &/or tape together. c.12-20 layers good for most bows though you need to keep clear of rain or damp. Much more biodegradable. Hay bales are reasonable though often a little too soft. Paper FITA target faces can be had quite cheaply too rather than spray paint, or just collect roundals of paper. Interesting video though. Wonder how many copying it will burn their boss/shed etc using blow torch on plastic/wood/foam/fabric.
Instead of dicking around with all that ironing of the plastic bags, just use a cheap heavy duty outdoor tarp and fold it over multiple times, or use burlap.
I wouldnt say at part of this build was "easy." Every step was made complicated. And the use of the spray foam take away from the cheap aspect of the build. Use discarded carpet or old denim material...cheaper and easier.
@Jon Cole Scissors are a common household item.I have a pretty well equipped workshop.Toolbox with spanners,sockets,cutting pliers etc.Orbital and belt sanders,high pressure cleaner,electric drills,Dremel and many other tools,but why would everyone need and industrial stapler and blow torch-I do not so commented on that.
@Jon Cole Bummer-why are we always missing some thing. I have what we call a wool bag,obviously is for wool.Stuff that with plastic wrap/pallet wrap that you could get from a bedding or furniture place for free.Will even stop a compound arrow
A piece of 1×4×8 foam insulating board cut to the size of a small size moving box would be faster,easier and yield the same result. You can make 2 for about $15 in material.
Instead of foam and cushioning, try using old clothes. I stuff a thick cardboard box with my kids outgrown clothes (or my moth-eaten ones). Works great. Only problem is that it’s not weather-proof. The cardboard gets ruined in the rain.
I make targets from flattened cardboard boxes when they get shot up I use them as filling in another cardboard box. Works well with a 55 pound recurve. The boxes are free from my shop.
i use foams and old jeans and any suede they work the best from powerful compound bow... i got tired buying these target from sports shop, it's costing to much so it's cheaper make it your own
That is sone really nippy music btw. We use foam insulation too. Any building site has loads of the stuff. Ask them if you can do a skip dive after shifts over and they might just sort u out. 😉
Hello, thanks for your video, it looks really easy to make, I would like to know what type of bow you use, since I want to make one for a 70 pound compound bow and about 330 fps
You should use extra material for the front covering and pull it around the sides of the frame and staple it to the back. Fixing it to the front of the frame will lead to the front cover collapsing inwards after several shots into the target.
Nice! However I still think the laziest solution is an at least 25cm (~10 inches) thick polystyrene board. It is cheap, require zero work and catches the arrows from my 60lbs compound (however the arrows go ~halfway through it until stop).
What bow poundage did you use? Will polypropylene spray foam stop arrows from 40-50 lbs bow from 3-10m? I want something to practice indoors during winter :P
Nice target! But your KILLING me with that HACK SAW! Just get a small hand held miter saw, or a simple crosscut wood saw! Back away from the metal saw to cut wood! :D!
One of the reasons to use a hacksaw is that it's cheap, & versatile. The best thing about a hack saw is when you wear out the blade, replacing it is cheap & easy. Also doesn't take up as much space to store as what you are describing.
@@weaponizer4444 No. He's talking about the expanding spray foam. That's 4 or 5 bucks per can and it looks like you used maybe 4. So you spent $16-$20 on just the foam alone.
A Styrofoam box stuffed with a bag full of mulch or sand and a target from google printed out over 4 x A4 sheets of papers works just as well and takes about 5 minutes 😂
That trick with the strap and the screwdriver to hold it square was worth the watch by itself! Thanks for the vid.

Roman Hurin I’m not sure a dude with a hacksaw without a handle could be considered a ‘shop’........

Junk-shop
That's the problem with comm un ism, u need everything given to you. Grow up.
Expecting a 5 minutes craft video with thumb tacks and a hot glue gun?
I have watched several vids on DIY archery targets and this vid is the best to watch and looks most practical. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this vid and share it. Great job!!
👍
I've seen people using these new things recently called screws. I've looked into it and they work rather well.
Holy shit I was going to say why go through all of that trouble to make a square frame
Lol that’s what I thought
Arrow hits screw, arrow fooked
@@MrRixsy arrow hits wood, arrow fooked.... No?
You snobs, always recommending ultra specific parts....
I made my target from the front passenger door of a gold 2017 Lexus SUV.
Its my Ex-Wife's car.
It's very hard on my arrows, but very satisfying.
Waltham1892 🤣🤣🤣
even if you shooting skill improved i bet she did not appreciate it
me too,...wow,...except my door was light blue,....SWEET !!!!
Waltham1892 it sounds like maybe you wanted to be aiming at the drivers door.

Very practical build. Nice work with the spray cans too. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
I like how the last Arrow bounced off the target
Must have been a flat head.

Good job! T he amount of work is what put me off. I fill burlap sacks with plasticscrap and it works perfectly. Also more reusable.
I like the way you do your target can you please give me a list of tools that you were using thank you and have fun doing your artery
That's great if you got a ton of time on your hands
I just took two burlap sacks put one inside the other and pack it full of heavy plastic and tie it shut and in 10 minutes I'm ready to go paint a Target on it and Wallah done
At 4:32, you could cut the foam padding bigger and compress the foam to make it denser inside the wood box frame.
Nice video. Great idea, I made something like this. I excluded wooden frame. If You hit it it will damage the Al arrow for sure. Carbon is safe tu use on this.
Stacked cheap kids foam gym mats are pretty good too, with a backdrop of a used loose carpet
my advice to you if you make another target use the same stuff, but make sure put a layer of old child's blankets and jeans(3 pair of jeans along with all those foam) in as well, cause a weak bow will not go through it, but a fast bow will later on
The vid should be titled, "How an OCD Person Makes an Archery Target", lol. Seriously pretty good job. The backside of the target more suitable for crossbows I imagine ;D
Yeah I can see it is much tougher... Looks like whatever that material combination is would be an idea for improvised DIY anti-arrow armor!
@@weaponizer4444 that's what she said.
@@weaponizer4444 I try to keep it that way too.
Best target I've found is a target butt made out of dirt/earth. It will stop anything and arrows are easy to pull out. It is cheap and available everywhere.
The center circle is suppose to be yellow. That's why the arrow bounced off. And one of the stapples is crooked.
good job, i will do one too.
Great idea and thanks for posting.
Nice video, but why, like many other misguided people, initially attack your viewers with sordid tech noise.
worth the click just for the frame "clamp" So simple...good shit :)
I use old kids rubber play tiles cut in half , stacked together about 3 foot high and strapped with a ratchet strap around a board at each end, that’s my back stop with another target in front
Very well made target 🎯, I love it.
Good job but damn that’s a lot of time and materials
Just fill a cardboard box with folded sections of carpet horizontal to the arrow, so you go between carpet not through it
An arrow don't have a chance to get thru all that Great job
Thank you
Молодец, пацан. Нормальную мишень изготовил. Русские детишки смекалистые, и рукастые :-)
I made this target in size 1m x 1m... Luckily i am so lousy bow shooter that i can't hit in same hole twise. So this last forever in my use :)
is it necessary to use the spray foam? Otherwise the target is the BEST I have seen to be built at home
Cheaper & simpler: Collect lots of corrugated cardboard & simply tie &/or glue &/or tape together. c.12-20 layers good for most bows though you need to keep clear of rain or damp. Much more biodegradable. Hay bales are reasonable though often a little too soft. Paper FITA target faces can be had quite cheaply too rather than spray paint, or just collect roundals of paper.

Awesome shooting at the beginning
Instead of dicking around with all that ironing of the plastic bags, just use a cheap heavy duty outdoor tarp and fold it over multiple times, or use burlap.
The key words. CHEAP AND EASY.
Michael Pringle still pretty cheap and far easier using a tarp
I wouldnt say at part of this build was "easy." Every step was made complicated. And the use of the spray foam take away from the cheap aspect of the build. Use discarded carpet or old denim material...cheaper and easier.
What Kind of Bow are you using/how strong is your bow? And how far away are you from your target when practicing?
That's what I was wondering.
Those arrows hardly penetrate! What pound bow and weight of arrows are you shooting into it? But great ideas on the target, thanks for sharing
Brilliant idea providing one has a stapler,blow torch etc?

How tough is it to pull the arrows. That is my one concern. Other than that, it looks pretty great.
A piece of 1×4×8 foam insulating board cut to the size of a small size moving box would be faster,easier and yield the same result. You can make 2 for about $15 in material.
A sack filled with old pillows is also a prime arrow target.
Excellent skills. Thank you for sharing, actually enjoyed watching.
Nice groups at the end :)
Good for recurve bow.
Unfortunately doesn't work for compounds. Especially when arrow stabilizes itself after first 15-25 yards
Instead of foam and cushioning, try using old clothes. I stuff a thick cardboard box with my kids outgrown clothes (or my moth-eaten ones). Works great. Only problem is that it’s not weather-proof. The cardboard gets ruined in the rain.
problem with cloth is that it soaks up water in the rain--if keep target outside.
Jaanmi94 I do the same

i use foams and old jeans and any suede they work the best from powerful compound bow... i got tired buying these target from sports shop, it's costing to much so it's cheaper make it your own
Cardboard ruined, then you just put stuffing in new box. Way easier, cheaper, and time efficient than whatever the hell this video is.
Wow so nice keep it up
Seems like a lot of work for something so simple. I duct taped 3 couch cushions together and it will stop any arrow with field tips on them.
you are really fast with that hacksaw
That is sone really nippy music btw.
We use foam insulation too. Any building site has loads of the stuff. Ask them if you can do a skip dive after shifts over and they might just sort u out. 😉

...pretty good!!!!...wait what am I saying...excellent!!!!
I love this one. I would like to see you make a 3D. Like a squirrel, pig or raccoon. Thanks for the video.
USA
That's a nice design. How many cans of spray foam did you use?
You should use extra material for the front covering and pull it around the sides of the frame and staple it to the back. Fixing it to the front of the frame will lead to the front cover collapsing inwards after several shots into the target.
but what is the strength of your friend's knight?
Can you tell me what kind of thing that he use? I wanna try to do it..
What is the spray foam being used? What would I look for when buying that?
Nice! However I still think the laziest solution is an at least 25cm (~10 inches) thick polystyrene board. It is cheap, require zero work and catches the arrows from my 60lbs compound (however the arrows go ~halfway through it until stop).
Cool design but ply wood scares me for higher powered bows
Cool !! :)
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching 👍
You should rename this video "How to inefficiently make an archery target".
It all depends on what you shoot and the poundage of your bow. Heavier bows may break through it
That last arrow bonced back... heading towards the archer; is he still alive?
no
Man ! He’s fast !
Can you give the measurements of the wood pieces you’ve used and the other stuff you have used too
What bow poundage did you use? Will polypropylene spray foam stop arrows from 40-50 lbs bow from 3-10m? I want something to practice indoors during winter :P
2:10 can I use regular screws and also how did u cut the wood in that shape so it fits well together
Can I use broadheads in this target
Thanks for the trick. Learnt a lot. Do you thing it will handle arrows coming from a 70 lbs bow?
Vladimir Moreno the back of the target should :D
why'd I watch this? I don't even do archery
LOL :)
Why did I read your comment, I dont even know you
It's very creative!
Maybe you should. Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something??
pretty cool set up
Nice target! But your KILLING me with that HACK SAW! Just get a small hand held miter saw, or a simple crosscut wood saw! Back away from the metal saw to cut wood! :D!
My thoughts exactly lol
One of the reasons to use a hacksaw is that it's cheap, & versatile. The best thing about a hack saw is when you wear out the blade, replacing it is cheap & easy. Also doesn't take up as much space to store as what you are describing.
What is the foam you used halfway through? Was that flex-seal or something?
Thanks. Good. But how to make the stand? Thanks
Parabens muito bom trabalho e com criatividade que podemos melhorar o mundo
how long or many shots before it gets blown through?
Wow mate this is great, awesome video i love your channel, hello from Australia
V2 weapons
Very inivative . What poundage of bow are you using ?
не плохо , только на сколько хватит этого щита и на какую силу лука ？для детских пойдет.
It needs 54 materials
What a target 🎯🎯😱
Good work
What's the measurements I need for the frame and the stand?
I burst a laugh at the end of video
Do you just use field tips in this target .... curious how resilient this would be with broadhead use
about how your styrofoam plates would react to a steak knife !!
what is that foam spraying can?
for something that won't last all that long this took waaaaay too much time..
I built a marmot target that falls backwards when hit 😁
made mine from my mother in law......!
The last arrow 🤣🤣
the form in the cans would cost you about $20 so how is this cheap
@@weaponizer4444 No. He's talking about the expanding spray foam. That's 4 or 5 bucks per can and it looks like you used maybe 4. So you spent $16-$20 on just the foam alone.
What are the materials needed to do this
What kind of materials i need for it?
Aww you forgot to show how you made the stand
Holy shit dude just stuff some old rags and torn clothes in a trash can liner. Works well enough for my 100 ft/lbs crossbow.
A Styrofoam box stuffed with a bag full of mulch or sand and a target from google printed out over 4 x A4 sheets of papers works just as well and takes about 5 minutes 😂
cardboard box and shipping plastic ..costs almost nothing works great also takes 5 minutes
