Target on the Go

I'm going on a bikepacking trip this spring and want to bring my recurve bow for target practice in my downtime. Since I'm on a bike, I obviously don't want to carry around a heavy target. Any ideas for a DIY target in the backcountry? Could a bag full of dirt work? Using field tips on a 35-pound bow. TIA

Put blunts on and shoot at a cardboard box. Or a milk jug. Or a tennis ball. Or an apple. Or a bush.

Actually, the flimsy grocery bags make great targets blowing slowly along the ground in a breeze. But make sure and don’t let it get away, and clean up after.
