    365 archery makes a target that has a 10x10x10 center cube that can be taken out of its cradle and spun so you can shoot all 6 sides. I paid like 160 for it but it's an awesome target so far. It comes in 18 24 36 and 48 inch cube cradles and the center core is only 50$ to replace!!!

    Great target. One year later and i didnt blow it out. about 40-50% life left. It isnt the only target i shoot at, and iv been focusing on shooting paper a lot lately, but the 18-1 has taken more than the average person would shoot in a year. I would recommend this target to anyone looking for a long lasting target. Ill post pictures in a second.

    I did make a smaller version of the carpet target. i only had a small amount of carpet and easier access to the other materials. Good DIY video on the carpet target.

    thank you. I feel that the video is rather painful to watch, but if it helps someone then its ok.

    Its pretty easy to get ahold of lots of free carpet. just know someone that works on construction sites doing some sort of finish work. guys that do finish are always able to get ahold of carpet drop off

    Bag targets and layered foam targets wear out super quick.

    Again, I'm going to have to put one in for the 18-1. I use it all summer.

    Once I get towards the end of the summer and start thinking more about placement (rather than bullseye) I will get my 3d deer out occasionally.
