Peat bales

[brian melton]

         I was bored looking at the side of a store while waiting for my wife to do some shopping, and was looking at the gardening supplies, and it accured to me that those peat bales might make a good arrow stop. I was thinking a few additional wraps with some plastic, and start shooting I figure when it starts to fall apart add the peat to the garden, and throw the plastic. Anyone ever try it???

  Sounds like a good Idea.

Brian, they would make good arrow stops. The ones I've seen were tightly bailed and wrapped in plastic.

I tried a bag of fiberglass insulation many years ago, that bats for wall insulation. It would easily stop arrows and the arrows would pull out with a couple fingers.
