    If you make a U shape out of the wood first, then layer the carpet until you are a few inches above the hight of the wood, then lay the top plank of wood on top of the carpet. Now put 2 ratchet straps from the bottom of the target, and over the plank thats resting on the carpet. Tighten the ratchet straps until the carpet is compressed, and the top plank sits flush with the 2 upright planks. Now nail the top plank in place. Remove the straps and turn the target 90degrease so the carpet is vertical. Finished. :)

    And yeah, it stops the arrows perfectly. Just don't use carpet that has rubber/ sticky backing or you wont get your arrows back out! :D

    Any idea what the lifespan on one of these would be?

    My husband and I are kicking ourselves after seeing a few of these, threw out a hefty sized piece of carpet only a few weeks ago :mad:

    Hey Lardy, roughly how many pieces of carpet did you use and how thick did you cut it?

    Hi guys,

    Life span is very good. Mine is still not showing any signs of wear..

    The carpet is cut into 4ft by 9 inch strips (approx) Honestly have no idea how many strips I used to be honest.
