scrap clothes or linnens

[swampratt]

I need to make a box full (large box) of clothes . the idea is so i can target practice with my bow.
The bolts will go through hay bales and styrofoam .I remember shooting into bags of clothing and penetration was only a couple inches deep with my compound.
No messed up fletchings.

I have not had much luck looking in dumpsters.
But going out today to look again.

try the plastic Walmart sacks

And shrink wrap that warehouses wrap pallets of product in.

Levi's recommends there clothes since they are anti gun. Try goodwill type boxes that have the sign saying drop offs after hours is considered dumping.

I got a bunch of cardboard boxes and a little bit of clothing. I will layer them and bundle really tight.
I also got one of those large throw rugs off the side of the highway just a few minutes ago. Maybe 8x10
That should do it.
Thanks guys for the other ideas..if these do not work I will go a different path.

You might check with your local goodwill and ask if you can have the clothes they are throwing away that is unusable.

Anyone tried a box of carpet scraps?

I ran into with someone getting some scraps out of my dumpster one day that said he was going to stuff them in a box and arrow shoot at them, and he asked if I minded. Not sure how it worked out. Might be the back weave is too coarse and would allow too much penetration.

If you want to spend a tiny bit of money good will always has bags of t shirts for like $10 per bag. These are not shirts in the rack but pre packaged bags.

read the news paper ??? find boxs same size as a folded paper section, fill box up,fold box flaps shut, done. last time i was at marys swap meet in ne okc, later in aftenoon people would start throwing stuff away in the dumsters, including jeans ,clothes, that were damaged and not sellable.

I shot at a horse blanket that was from tractor supply all folded up it was maybe 18x18 square and about 8 or 10" thick.
It had a busted strap on it.
The bolt from the cross bow did not go through it.
Advertised at 350fps. I did not chrony it yet.
It is a bear fortus.
