What's the best bag target

[Phillyarcher]

I just got a Micro 335 and love it. The only problem is that the field point sticks out and the fletching is about the same distance which makes removing real hard. The target I use is a foam layer. Looking into a bag target. I'm shooting the quills that came with the bow. I heard the morrell elite super is a good one and there crossbow one also. Just do not want to spend money and have same problem. Any help would be good

So far, the best bag target for me are the ones I made myself. Put a burlap bag inside another one. Stuff bag real tight with cloth rags and sew up the top. Spray paint what ever amount of shooting dots you want and Bob's your uncle. I am flinging 500 grs. of arrow at 325 ft. Per. Sec.and have never had an arrow go more than 8" in. Two finger removal is guaranteed. Or you could just buy a spider web bag target.

The best bag target I have (and the cheapest) is a Third Hand Archery Bag that is stuffed with strips of nylon window screening material.
The Spyderweb and Bulldogs are good but expensive. They are a bit hard on the arrow shafts but if you use something lighter than the 380 or 405 you'll be ok. Just don't shoot real close.

What's the best field point target...mine!



I have been making rag bags since I got into archery. This weekend, I tore apart the old ones, went to the feed store to buy some new bags, 20 cents apiece, and re-stuffed them.

I use two tall bags, doubled, and then just stuff and cram whatever I have for rags. When you think you're done, you're not. Grab a bunch more rags, a hockey stick, and cram more material into the target. I make bundles and tape them tightly with a little hockey tape just to compress it even more.

A few more tips, put heavier rags on the bottom, and lighter feed bags on the top, this will allow the target to stand upright with a lower centre of gravity. Leave enough slack at the top of the bag to bundle it together and then twist it as many times as you can. I zip tie the slack and tape it to compress the bag and create a carry handle.

I made two targets that will stop a 405 at point blank range and allow for two finger arrow removal for less than you'd pay for lunch. Not bad if you ask me.

Spyder Web. The plastic web mesh sets them apart from all others.

The spyder web is the best i've seen. But Racking up points, and his method is my next bag... All ready saving up old blue jeans and rags........

Purchase two 20# bags of coloured rags from Princess Auto place them side to side and duct tape them together, cost 24$ Canadian works great, arrows go about four to six inches into targets. The tight compact 20# rag packs are packed in plastic, tight is best, get the square ones if you can, match set of two. Shoot at it from both sides, re tape when it gets worn, 3 inch sticky red targets can be placed on the packs for bow shooting, got mine at bass pro eight bucks for 48.

I'm with Don and Derrick, I have two rag bags and stuffed them with old sheets clothes etc. easy to remove the arrow and haven't had one go more then 6 inches into it!

I have a third hand bag layered with cotton cloths, dam heavy lol I bet your idea of screening would be lighter.

Do you think layered fleece would work?? I want to try a new broad head out and did not want to slice up my bag, and since I was given a bunch of big pieces of fleece I would make another bag but wondered if the fleece would melt then stick to the arrows or if it would even stop an arrow.
