How to Make Archery Target

Archery targets come in many sizes, shapes and colors. Targets can be very expensive to purchase, so making your own is an inexpensive alternative.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Old carpet
• Cardboard
• Cord
• Glue
• Pencil
• Paper
• Paint
• Scissors
• Knife
• Tripod

1. Make a template on a piece of paper. Decide how wide you want the target to be and trace a circle on paper, then cut it out.

2. Lay the template on some old carpet and cardboard and cut out 10 circular pieces of each.

3. Layer the carpet and cardboard pieces, alternating between the two. Apply glue to each layer.

4. Punch holes with a knife through all the layers around the entire circle. Weave cord it in and out of the holes and tie it tightly.

5. Set the target on a tripod. Tripods made specifically for archery targets are available at sporting-goods stores for about $65 to $100. Or you can make your own.

6. Paint a bull's-eye on a piece of paper and attach it to the target.
