Not sure what you are asking? Cheap pink foam 2" thick 2x8' cut in to 2x2 square taped together makes a cheap target? Just ducktap together...

I have repaired old 3d targets by either injecting caulking into the holes and letting cure. requires a lot of time and a heat lamp... hard to pull arrows if the target is REALLY shot up...

If the center sections is really shot up i have taken "Great Stuff" expandable foam  and use it to "repair" the target. Its hard to make it work really good but you need a way to contain the foam as it expands so that it seaks out all the shot up crevasses. I have done this with limited sucess using saran wrap. I think there are better ways of doing it but that requires almost as much effort as earning the $$$ for a new target... I have "repaired" some to use a moving targets so that people are not necessarly hitting the X, as it doens't hold us as well and is hard to pull arrows.

Does that answer your???
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
