I need to build a large indoor target so I can practice form. I like to do some form shooting with eyes closed so I'd like a rather large target. WOuld appreciate and pictures, plans, thoughts on building a good (but cheap) home indoor target. Leaning towards compressed cardboard but Like the arrow removal of burlap/plastic. Thansk in advance for any suggestions
Buy a 4'x6' horse stall mat from TSC and hang it from the rafters and hang a feed bag stuffed with plastic in front of it. Cheap, quick and easy.

That is what I just did. Put a 2x4 on top edge to keep it hanging straight. Put four large head 2 1/2" lag screws in to hold mat to board. I put two pieced of chain one each end under the end lags. This is small chain like good size swing set chain. I needed the chain because mine is in my barn with higher structure and I wanted adjustability for height. Then put a couple screws in top edge sticking out a little for a rope to hang my bag. I tied one rope to each corner of my bag so it has a lop and put that over the screws to hang the bag. Works great. You will need a little help hanging it or maybe use a game hoist to pull it up. It is heavy.
Morrell's YellowJackets are really good for $50 but I have a feedsack stuffed tight with old clothes that works like a champ and has lasted for two years so far...
