DIY Archery Target
Archery can be an expensive hobby. You can save a few dollars by making your own archery target instead of using store-bought targets. Making a target is a great project to do with the family or an archery group. The materials you need are found around the home or are available in home improvement centers. You can make your own target covers or download and print out the regulation targets available online.
