But since you have an acreage I would just go and get some hay bails and pile those up.

Do the squares work well enough to stop an arrow? I shot into a hay bale once, and my arrow sunk right in, never to be found again...
The reason I asked is I know a fella who had a "botched batch" of the insulation, so he was gonna do one up for free for me.
When you use the pink sheets, do you stack and compress them? Or do you line them up vertically?
