A Visual Guide to Making a Target

Rolling a Target Without a Dowel
•Roll mat back on itself and flatten the fold completely.
•Start rolling at the folded end towards opposite end.
•Roll the first half of the mat to the end of the folded part, grab the far edge, bring the far edge back until the two edges almost touch.
•Continue rolling the mat until there is no more mat to roll and flatten the end with the heel of your hand or a wooden peg.
•Tie the target in at least three places. The two ties at the ends should be no more than two or three inches from the edge. Check the fit of the peg in the target.

Rolling a Target Using a Dowel
•Roll mat back on itself and flatten the fold(optional when using a dowel).
•Roll the mat around the dowel toward the opposite end.
•When you have rolled the mat to within 14-18 inches of the opposite end, grab the far edge, bring it back towards you and slide it under the section of mat you are rolling.
•Continue rolling the mat until there is no more mat to roll and flatten the end with the heel of your hand or a wooden peg.

•Tie the target in at least three places. The two ties at the ends should be no more than two or three inches from the edge. Check the fit of the peg in the target.

Make sure to remove the dowel before soaking or cutting
