Well I twisted the string and got from 5 to 6.5 inches, didn't realize it was that low! Stuffed some pooch hair in it too and just plucking the string, it's a LOT quieter. Now for some arrows and a target, and a release too, I'll be ready for bow season this fall.

Feed sack stuffed with grocery plastic bags. I use 3 hay bales sometimes. In a field I have some round bales and use a orange marking paint for a bull. SMALL one, shoot small, hit small. I also use my atlatls on them, they are my mastodons.

Hay bales are hot commodity around here! Square bales go for about $5+ and round bales are around $15+, farmers ya know!
Maybe a foam block would be in order...
I'm ready for payday this week to get the ball rolling!

There are some real durable block targets out there. The black one is pretty good, forget the name.

I think it's aptly deemed "The Block", ironically enough.
