I would worry bout the weather getting to them and then I would have a bigger mess

I've got hundreds upon hundreds of shots into mine, and it still is in excellent shape. Remember the mantra: "Only 1 arrow at a time." That target is bad for eating arrows due to side impact since the dots all align in the middle. It took me at least $50 in arrows to finally quit trying to slip a second arrow into it.
