Home-made carpet target

[Venginator]

Just made this the other day. I recently got new carpet in my house so I had a lot of scrap to make one of these. I have mine 18 inches deep and 24 inches wide. Most arrows only go in 12 inches at close range, but can be adjusted with the rods for tightness. I have a 2x12 holding top and bottom together with threaded rod. Works great.
Originally It was just too heavy and awkward to move so I took a third out after this picture was taken.
Anyone else make one of these?

I have the exact same set up only bit bigger my arrows only got in maybe 8 inches at 15 yards works awesome

Not too hard and not to easy. Kind of in the middle. If I find it is too hard, i'll just back the threads off a little. I don't think I would try broad heads on this one though, i'll buy a separate one for that.

Ya I made a template out of OSB, and just kept cutting carpet until I had about 70 pieces. I think I reduced the target down to about 45 to 50 and still leaves a nice sized target.

I haven't shot at mine enough yet, havn't had much spare time to do so. But I'm sure over time I will see if anything happens.
