In absolute terms. You'll want something to protect your hand. Something to protect your arm. Farkles, n+1. The perfect arrow.
You know the drill.
>>1884863You stop an arrow through one of two ways. Friction or force. Commercial foam targets use friction, traditional straw ones use force.
The foam you're using is not dense enough to stop an arrow at your chosen thickness. So it's acting as a force target. The arrow stops because it's bouncing off the mass of the wood.
The points will dull themselves as the reverberation splinters your shafts.
Back the target with a rubberized material. Horse mats, poly cutting board, just something for it to bounce off after the foam slows it down.
Or compress the material. Two slabs of plywood, bolts on either side. Crank and shoot.
