We did it! Video link here: • Strongest DIY Archery ...
Congratulations Yu, you win an original PVC JimBow Jim bow!
--------------------
This video is episode 1 of our series: STUFF IT! Where we talk about tangible, physical, touchable archery stuff.
I think this is one of the best DIY targets on youtube. I wanted a portable target that was cheap, easy, and tough. The materials costs for my targets can be FREE, does not require special tools or skills to make, and we will test exactly how tough in a future video! We will shoot arrows until an arrow passes thorugh, or at the minimum penetrates deep enough for vanes to touch the target!
Stay tuned!
*******CONTEST*******
To kick off this Series we're holding a contest. Guess the number of arrows my DIY target bag can stop before one goes deep enough to touch the fletchings.Comment below to submit your guess. Closest guess wins a secret prize and the winner will be announced in a later video.
[*Shipping and handling may not be included, prize is secret because I totally haven't decided what the prize will be yet, Contest closes after winner reveal video is near completion, one winner will be chosen based on acuracy of entry, multiple comments are allowed.

I have never owned a compound bow and at 71 years old , I doubt that I ever will . That being said , I was compelled to check out you channel because of the catchy name . You have a lot of very cool subject matter and I look forward to cruising through your posts .
Thanks Gregory! Never too late to give it a try though! 😁 Thank you!
The dry comedy is strong in this Jedi! Love the shoe string insert vid. I have ton of rice bag & bird feed bags. I’m planning to build a 5’x4’ wide target. The extract height is for walk-back tuning.
I’ve used six layers of old carpet nailed to a frame only on the top . The carpet flexes when the arrow hits it , absorbs the energy . Lasts for a long time too .
I've stuffed plastic in burlap for so long now and just settling for a red painted dot because targets won't stick to the burlap. Then suddenly you just put it in cardbord and I feel stupid and saved all at once! Great!
Don't worry, we're all a healthy level of stupid! I just happen to edit most of mine out of my videos :-P Thanks for watching!
Best I have seen yet .. very nice !!!! I have a foam back stop ,,,, I lost one Testicle pulling out a carbon arrow out of it .. now I’m looking so I don’t loose the other .. I like this idea ..
We're sorry for your loss.
Thank you! That's what I set out to do! Find the best method/materials and bring it to the world!
We also tested this until we got vanes deep.

Let me know what you think!
Very nicely done! 1000+ arrows!
Thank you.
Welcome! GO MAKE HOLES 😄
Very nice solution for me, thank you so much bro.
Thank you for watching! 😁
LMFAO you had me ad i can pay Cash Bajaja Thanks Man
I have built these befor but not with the carbord Box. I'll have to give that a try next time. One of the nice things with these is that once the bag starts to fall apart you can just put the whole thing in a new bag and keep going.
Absolutely! The burlap's great for surving through the ages. The cardboard helps start set the shape in the right direction, but after hundred+ shots the face is almost gone :-P
Check out my video where I stress test this bag to 406 shots to achieve a vanes-deep penetration.
Working on a new vid comparing this durability to just latteral cardboard comoressed vertically!!!
Glad you enioyed the vid! :-D
This is wicked cool man! I'll guess... 327!
Initial guess was about 100 after seeing the finished target bag!
Nice! Plus, I love the good humor in the video😆 Cool shirt too.👍👍
Thanks! I dressed myself!!!! :-D
@@liveandletfly 😆
I actually quite enjoy how you edited your video! My guess is probably around 420 shots to get through that bag.
so close!

Nice! You know where it's at!
@@liveandletfly Also I did make one and it's been holding up well! Totally free too
Man, your videos are amazing!
Thank you!!! :-D
very nice video it is funy :), make mo!!
More to come! Soooooooooooooon(ish…maybe) 😜
Did something similar a few months ago, but I found out that Shrink Wrap material makes it hard to remove arrows. It had some pieces in my target I took out as a result. Just raided my company's garbage for about 1wk to fill-up two 24"24" targets. Rad.
Not after 406 arrows!!!
Excellent video from Jimmy the Bag Man, who knew !!! As to my guess as to which arrow will penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target? So my answer would be , none of the arrows will be able to penetrate deep enough for the vanes to touch the target. From my observation I think that the back of the bag is too close to the fence , and therefore the arrow would have to go through the target bag, then proceed with some lost energy , through the fence, penetrating the fence deep enough to be able for vanes to touch the target .
Interesting observation! Please Note: safety is always #1. The bag has 1.5m clearence before the fence. and there is due care to ensure no person or animal is behind the fence at the time of any shooting! For the remainder of the tests the bag will be hung up in a garage for even greater safety :-D
Awesome, the editing in this was perfect haha
But the important question…how many arrows will it take to shoot through my target?
@@liveandletfly OH! Yes...hmmm let me just bust out the graphing calculator here. 550!
I would guess 300 arrows for its survival rate. Burlap is pretty forgiving. Plus you can rotate it.
Great idea. I’ve been making some targets up but everything gets destroyed too quickly. This is the best free to make idea yet.
Thank you! I try I try!

360
Great video! My guess - 888! 😄
Over 9000!!!
This is dope !
You know it! Let me know how your pallet wrap scavenger hunt goes! Happy Shooting, stay safe!
Nice dude i liked this video. i see you are in Canada ( Alberta right here )
Subbed!
Thank you, neighbour! (SK)
I think it will take 90 arrows to bury one to the vanes.

Nice
Thanks!
45!
My guess is 334...... to all those that missed the spoiler it is obviously in the top right corner of the sack.
1200 in same area
Not quite! Good guess though! Check out the answer here: ruclips.net/video/Cs-skkM0dhA/видео.html
It was over 400 shots!
My guess would be ~500
😇👍
300?
412. Nicely made!
Seems crazy to me shooting in your back yard. Good job with the target bag, but one slip and an arrow ifgoi g to punch through that fence into next door or the street?
Yup! It is crazy! But…as your not-a-lawyer giving you not-any-legal advice please ensure gaps in fence boards are not wider than diameter of arrows, and/or have a plywood backdrop, and/or do not high draw, and/or aim low so any miss shoots into the ground, and/9r ensure there are no people or animals on the other side of the fence, and or ensure you're shooting towards your own shed or garage or a structure you own or have permission to shoot towards, and/or examine and obey your local municipality bylaws!!
Never shoot towards street/people/animals/other property without either a) permissiom AND safety assessment, or b) a really good lawyer…
Safety first!
@@liveandletfly lol. Nice response.
Basically in the UK (i'm an Archer myself) and we'd not be covered by GB Archery insurance.
Like you say, it's your own risk but hope you don't have any dodgy releases..
Regarding those compounds, I can tell you I'd expect the arrows at that range to push through.
Perhaps get a spare plank and try in one day
Great Britain Archery insurance? I don't know much about this! Every place is different for insurance, obviously, but is the GB Archery insurance tied to anything historical?!?! Sounds fascinating!
P.S. Why would any body be shooting with dodgy releases?!?! (shifty eyes 😆) ruclips.net/video/Cs-skkM0dhA/видео.html (skip to 47 sec mark)
@@liveandletfly Hehe. It covers ppl that are part of Archery clubs, but we have to make sure the field has sufficient over shoot, warning signs etc.
I guess many clubs couldn't afford it individually, so AGB must use the weight of all the hundreds of clubs as collective bargaining and price reduction?
UK can be somewhat overzealous when it comes to pointy dangerous things lol.
Saw that 'dodgy' release vid / shooting aid failure!
Its a few years back now, but me (with my Longbow)and another guy with his 90lb compound bow @80 yards (metres ish) saw him miss and the arrow punched through nearly 3 inches of the solid pine target frame. The arrow shaft nearly went clean through baring a few cm's lol.
I was always a little dismissive of the power of those things until I saw that :)
You stay safe 🙏
yeah! 90lb compound…your friend's a beast…recurve to compound is a different game…90+ lb compounds that's a whole new next level game!
I've trained to draw on target so if there is a release failure I don't miss. The footage you saw was a D-loop failure…I 100% knew better, but kept putting off replacing it. D-loop replacement video coming soon to a future near you!
406 im guessing 🥴
1,888!!!!
I had a plastic-filled target. The arrows stuck like crazy, and it was hard getting them out.
Yeah! They can be tougher to retrieve arrows, but I'd say it is comparable to large commercial foam targets or 3D targets though.
The main goal was to DIY a target that would endure many shots. We tested it and shot at bullseye until an arrow shot vanes deep. It lasted 406 arrows! Testing vid: ruclips.net/video/Cs-skkM0dhA/видео.html
We also made a Carboard target, build vid: ruclips.net/video/S3_jaS6ts7I/видео.html
Test vid: TBA
If you're looking for easy arrow retrieval I heard old clothes works well, I'll try to test that in a future video!
@@liveandletfly “I heard old clothes works well, I'll try to test that in a future video! “ That would be interesting. I'm wondering about the penetration into material. How much does one have to use? I ordered two 60×90 cm hessian bags on EBay just now.
@@grasonicus Check your local farm an garden centre, or coffee shops! They sometimes give away large sacks, or sell them for only a couple dollars! That's where I got mine!

700~!
great video 950 arrows

We hit 406! Plenty of life left on the target if you don't aim for the same hole we established!!!
10
NICCCCE！！！！ 200
Funny!
What draw weight do you use? 20lbf?
I've got a 50lb compound, a 32lb target recurve, a few DIY PVC long bows and recurves too :-D Check out those build videos :-D
457

💪👍👏👏👏
Do you think a cardboard target would do better? ruclips.net/video/S3_jaS6ts7I/видео.html
555
600！
If you shoot like me, 1200. But if you’re good, I’d guess about 400.

@@liveandletfly I was way off! Ok I'm new to the page I've seen some really cool stuff so far. Hitting a target from 90 yards! I have to keep practicing lol
We ALL gotta practice more…life long sport for sure!
Welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoy the videos so far! If you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see let me know! I'll give it a "shot"! :-D
2000, are you keep counting?
Certainly Mys. Mao! In testing the target, every arrow fired into the bag will be documented until an arrow goes through to the vanes--and/or until our arms fall off from exhaustion. This is for science, we need to be serious, there is obviously no room to be silly.
Decent idea and good advice but i do need to point out your draw form is terrible. Your arm/elbow is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too low and you’re using the wrong muscle groups.
Can you do it? Yes. Is it wrong? Also yes.
Absolutely, yes! Please point that out! Yes please! That footage was from years ago when I was was still learning lots, and with a new bow! Since then I've now become NCCP certified as an instructor for introduction to beginner archery! Maybe I'll need to post more videos of what I've learned since!!!
