    You can get a straw target at Jim and Pauline Conroys shop in Summerhill. It's on the road out to Trim on the right handside. The house is called 'The Butts' and if I remember correctly, it's good couple of miles out from Summerhill. The shop is called Shooting Style, which you can google for better directions.

    BTW The foam superbutts are probably a better target if you're going to use it a lot, but I think they may be more expensive.

    There are two types of foam buts, One is a single piece of foam and as such is of reasonable quality and the second type and more expensive is layered foam sheets which are either rolled and glued with silicon and held fast with truck ties or otherwise it is made of foam sheets placed in a timber lattice which compresses the sheets to achieve a desirable surface density. The second is far superior and will extend the life of your arrows.

    If your in a local club, try buying some (concrete joint filler material to aid with concrete expansion/contraction i.e. the above sheet of foam) flex-el from Long's. Different concrete product suppliers (near naas) sell such materials and it can't be that expensive if your buying in a bid to make a score of target piles.

    Just to let you know i have seen those layered target mats going for around €150 with a timber frame...
