Hunting Archery Equipment

Like many hobbies, archery can grow expensive and if you are simply wanting to put in a few hours of practice to improve your aim, making your own target can save your cash for something you really want or need.

You can't find a better target than bales of straw stacked two deep (depending on the pound bow you'll be using) for an inexpensive target. The initial outlay of cash will be the most expense you'll incur. Visit your local farmers coop or market to find your hay bales.

Then drop by your local Wal-mart, K-mart or grocery store and ask for some card board from the boxes they break down and get yourself a magic marker and you're almost ready.

Draw your preferred target - circles with a bulls eye or the likeness of your least favorite acquaintance or maybe your mother-in-law - and you're ready.

You can replace the cardboard as needed with no expense to you and the bales of hay should last for years if you go the extra step and get an inexpensive plastic tarp to put over the bales when you're not using them for practice.
