Looks good.  I just bought the same targets.  Do they need to be protected from rain?  Are the horse stall mats in the back?

Thanks.  I don't think the rain is going to matter but it doesn't rain much where I'm from anyway.  Yea I got that mat from tractor supply..they sell it by the foot.  I really don't need the mat with the bow but when my son and I are throwing the spear with the atlatl we hit it sometimes.

Rain might not hurt them but are they UV protected? That would be my concern.

Looks Nice.  Do the bags swing, or does the top bag touch the bottom bag preventing swinging?

Thanks for the tip about the sun exposure.

I was thinking I would wear them out before the sun did but well see.  Of course they'll wear faster in the sun but I'm ok with that.  The top bag comes right down to the bottom one but still swings.

I have the same targets and I leave them outside year round. They do fade, but still work just fine.

You could easily make a flap out of some material to keep the sun off of them the same size of the targets and attach it at the top. Just flip it over when you want to shoot. Nice set up. I used feed bags at my old place and they only lasted about 2 or 3 months outside.
