Planned changes are to change the rubber fletching to feathers, as i can see on her shots, the arrow goes sideways from fletching hitting the shelf.

Also, for target block/backstop i just use rigid foamboard insulation. then I printed pics of deer/moose/coyotes at work to aim at. her arrow dont penetrate through the 3 inches of material. and you should see her face light up when she hits centre mass on the deer pics.

That's awesome to hear! Good job on getting her started.
