Thought I'd wake my own thread up again.
Took the wife, daughter and one of her friends back to Archers Afield yesterday for refresher lesson. Had a lot of fun again. The folks at Archers Afield are really nice and helpful to noobs like us. My wife really wants to set up an archery range in the back yard. So hopefully we'll make that happen in the not too distant future. My daughter seems to be a natural at this stuff, so I want to continue to encourage it with her.
If anyone is interested in trying them out, they run a recurring deal on Groupon - $29 for a 30 minute private lesson for up to 5 people - bows, arrows and targets included. Then you get unlimited range time on their indoor range when you're done. They'll teach kids and adults and have a variety of bows available to suit individual needs.
I made one similar but used threaded rod to compress the cardboard. The thing was heavy and I learned early to brace it up as it was hard on arrows if it tipped over on them .I find using strips of card board cut 12" wide and as long as you want to make them glued ( laminated) together in a stack as tall as you like makes for awesome targets, and it's all from recycling! With the holidays around the corner, you should be up to yer eye balls in cardboard in no time! Will work for most heads, but broad heads will be very hard to remove, so I dont recommend them! The targets will also hold up to a pretty nasty cross bow! Wink Wink!
