How to Make an Archery Target
What you will need
-A piece of cardboard
-A sharp knife
-Masking tape
-A pencil
-Scissors
-A stapler
Step-by-step guide
1. First, you need to find a piece of cardboard that is big enough for your target. Once you have found the perfect piece of cardboard, use your knife to cut it into the shape of a circle.
2. Next, you need to take your masking tape and create a bulls eye on your target. To do this, simply start by taping the middle of your target with a piece of tape. Then, continue adding pieces of tape around the first piece until you have created a bulls eye that is about 6 inches in diameter.
3. Once your bulls eye is complete, you need to use your pencil to draw a line around the edge of each piece of tape. This will help you keep your lines straight when you are cutting out your target.
4. Now, it is time to cut out your target! Using your scissors, carefully cut along the lines that you drew in step three. Be sure to cut through all of the layers of tape so that your target is completely cut out.
5. Finally, you need to staple the edges of your target together. Simply fold over the edge of one side of your target and staple it to the other side. Continue doing this until all of the edges are stapled together and your target is complete!
Tips and tricks
-If you want to make your target more durable, you can laminate it after you have cut it out.
