elkman Report post Posted December 21, 2009 4' x 5' cotton bale archery target. very little arrow penetration, unlike hay bales, and incredibly easy to pull arrows from target as well. they are wrapped in burlap and last for years and years without any problems. use as a target or a large backstop for a 3d target. can deliver as well call jason 480-577-5034 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameHauler Report post Posted December 21, 2009 Interesting but no cash right now. where I shoot at home a wood fence is a back stop which can be hard to get arrows out of and I need to dial in a new bow and Danielle just started to shoot a bow. Sounds like you may have more than one so maybe down the road. Care to share a price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckwheat777 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 I dont know about these cotton targets. They have metal bands around the top, bottom, and center and I have seen many carbon arrows hit them and shatter over the years. If you cut the bands in the middle, the cotton rapidly pours out. Either way you are losing money each year. What a scam!!! Dont buy into these hill-billies get rich quick scheme. Thanks from Hay Farmers of America Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewp45 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 They are called Mote Bales. It is all the trashy cotton that is discarded during the gining process. A regular clean cotton bale with marketable cotton weighs 500lbs. These mote bales vary in weight but usually weigh between 350-400lbs. The cotton gins have a hard time getting rid of all the trashy cotton so they bale it up and either sell them cheap or give them away. If you don't live in the valley to get one of these just visit the closes cotton gin and you can pick as many as you want up pretty cheap or sometimes free. Usually the arrows are easy to pull, but some of them are baled so tight it can be almost impossible to pull out. We have about 15 at our little range and 2 of them we had to get rid of because we couldn't get the arrows out. The rest are awesome though. Now you know everything there is to know about cotton archery targets. If you need any more useless info feel free to shoot me a pm. I am bored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
