What's your Archery target setup outside/backyard

[Idaboy]

Looking for ideas for covered archery target can leave outside year round, looking for simple platform with some sort of roof. Have all 4 seasons where I live

Post pics and ideas of what you've liked/has worked for you

I think that's been covered in the archery section.

Might search it.


I have some big blocks I have built around and face them mostly north to keep the sun off.

Very nice

Is that black portion a back stop or a target as well?

That's definitely a backstop. Horse stall mats tend to be the top recommendation from what I've seen.

I just use my tool shed as a backstop. It's expensive but it works ok.

The pics make me jealous. Winter time, I shoot from outside my basement bathroom, through the garage door and into a target on the other side of the garage.

Outside, just a couple bulldog targets stacked up by one of the shed.

I have a business that sits on an acre and I drag a target around there when I can find enough room due to stock out there.

I really need to build something like some of the this above.

A few layers of carpet with a cardboard cutout on top. Works very well.

I'd be worried I would send one into the neighbors yard

The black portion is a horse mat to stop any arrows that miss the target. It works great but it’s pretty tough to pull arrows out of it.

I built a fence shortly after that and threw a few sheets of osb between layers of pickets for that exact reason.

Get you a Matrix target. Mines been sitting mostly outside for 2 years with exception of a couple winter months when I shoot in my garage.

Mine is the 6 sided one. Has a bunch of sections that are moveable and last forever. 2 years and a ton of arrows have only tore up 1 section and 1 almost there. They are still shootable but arrow goes way deep. Matrix sells each section for $28 I think.

They take field and breads great. Easy to pull out. Military discount if you call them and you’ll probably get the owner.
