In January 2008 at the ATA show I met the SpyderWeb folks and shot their targets. They were the closest thing I'd seen to the BagDad targets I used to shoot at Chance's shop and at my coach's house. I had to have one!
I checked back with them every few months and there were no dealers in my area. I considered becoming a dealer just so I could get one. When The Archery Den opened near my house and I begged him to become a dealer. I dragged my 24" SpyderWeb in for him to shoot and commited to buying a 48" target and another 24" if he'd sign up as a dealer. That got him way down the road towards his minimum for free shipping so it was lower risk to him.
(Coincidentally he's had little trouble selling them from what I've seen.) THANK YOU JEREMY!
Last Saturday I picked up the huge SpyderWeb. Today, with the help of my 4yo son, I built the target house to store it. It was too dark for pictures when I got the doors and roof on. I plan to paint it and shingle the roof tomorrow after church.
I'll warn you in advance that I'm no carpenter
Before - the Morrel Outdoor Range bag....
After we set the new posts (they were square before he swung on them)...
After my neighbor helped me get the target on the frame....
Last picture of the night. All that was missing were the doors and roof...
I think it will look really nice with some dark brown paint on it. I can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.
This target is VERY large and should last our family of five a long time. My oldest two kids are very interested in archery and my wife wants to learn to shoot. This should keep me out of the pasture behind the fence looking for arrows. I was going through two Outdoor Range bags a year. This should pay for itself rather quickly.
