just wondering if anyone has experience in hitting these bags with heavier bows in the 300fps range?

What about the tshirts in winter frozen? Damage to arrows?

Trying to set up a bit of a walking range for.distance and height changes without having to carry blocks and at the same time recycling and keeping costs down.

I made a crossbow target with a cat food bag and a bunch of old clothes for my dads Barrnett crossbow which is 300fps and the target worked great . If you want a bit bigger target use a dog food bag and put old clothes or blankets in it really tight.

Feed bag stuffed tight and full of other feed bags works great for my Excal. Exo Mag with field points. 2 finger pull outs and punch up the bag after 6 or so shots, when the out side gets too shot up just stuff into another bag. I use a large bag and hang sideways so more like the side of a deer.
