Q
"How far in to a round bale would one of my arrows go when [shot] from the same kind of distance as we do in class?"

Hey Michelle!
It will vary upon the poundage of the bow, the weight of the arrow, how much damage the hay bale has previously suffered, etc. Some shots
might only go in a few inches, others more so. If it has been shot
repeatedly in the same location you will discover it goes a lot deeper.
I
think you mentioned previously that you were planning on using the hay
bales as a backstop, behind a target made of cardboard, plastic or foam?
The hay bales should make a decent backstop, but you will probably
still want to swap them out once per year as they will get rained on and
start to smell/etc.
Some people even build a roof for their archery target so the hay doesn't get rained on as much.
Another thing to look into is a traditional straw archery target, like the kind used during the middle ages. They're inexpensive but last a long time because they're woven together like a rug.
