I have to find some sort of thing to use for a target, I guess. We used cardboard boxes in Virginia, which was fun, as the arrows passed right through them most of the time...'course that messed up the fletching some...gotta get some feathers, I guess, and maybe a fletching jig?
I suppose a couple of deer targets would be good practice, haven't priced them, though.
Well, you're about at the limit of ash wood at 50lbs with that design. I don't recall the specific gravity of ash but that is a good rule of thumb for the amount of weight you can reasonably get out of a given wood species.
Hickory would get you a bit more but generally lumber yards and wood places sell pecan as hickory (okay it is the same genus) but there are 5 major hickory species, each increasing in specific gravity and therefore higher poundage bows.
Targets, there are lots of them on the market, most are plastic mesh in a woven plastic bag. Very durable and will stop the arrows like they should.
A bit of Duco cement and straight pins will get the errant feathers back in place. Wrapping the front end of the feathers with fishing line or better is fishing rod ferrule wrap, then gluing in down.
