Anyone build their own archery targets?

I found the foam from a hot tub lid is really crappy, doesn't hold together really well

My husband made his own target out of an old box filled with the foam from an old couch and then he wrapped it in painters tape and duckt tape.. It worked great for a few years until he got the new bulldog target with the lifetime warranty and out went making his own targets lol

x2 on the bulldog target with lifetime warranty for $99. I love mine. Company is great to deal with and target is great... for field points only.

Well I built my target. I used 9 inch by 2 foot slices of cardboard, layered them up about 30 inches tall, and used 2 boards and 2 threaded rods to compress it. It worked very well, with arrows penetrating about 14 inches. Only problem, it was very hard to pull arrows out.

That is the exact method we used to use even in pro shops 30 plus years ago before modern targets...little bigger scale but exact...
Arrows will get easier ...than too easier as it gets shot out...we would than move shot out area to bottom and move bottom to middle...than when that shot out do the same with top layers...
Would take a surprizing amount of arrows...mind you ALL arrows then were aluminum and bows were bout 100 FPS slower...lol
