    I have a wool press up here if you want to try that, I believe they just press plastic bags into a wool sack, haven't seen it done though so not sure on the process

    No, just an offer to press a bale for your target, I will get around to doing one for my son too at some stage, that silage wrap is a good idea , plenty kicking about

    Reduce, reuse, recycle.

    Also sacks tightly stuffed with old clothes/sheets/rags etc. works really well.

    Fill a couple up and load them in the middle of the next load of bails you send off

    Yeah i work at the glenbrook steel mill and they have to pay to get rid of the one ton sacks and all the pallet wrap they have so i thought i may as well make target bails out of them and sell them off cheap seeing as to buy small target bags are stupidly expensuve

    Shrink wrap isn't as good as normal bags or clothes, it is hard to pull arrows out of

    Shrink wrap will stick to the arrow and after a while is so hard to get the arrow out you will swear at it. if you can get sacks then stuff them in to a wool bail tight and that works fine.
