Does anybody knows anything...

...about these targets;


I am just looking for a cheap thing to shot in it(it is to much for me to spend 100+ € on a target).
I am interested in "60x60"(cm), it cost 18€ and if i get 2, i think it has enough stopping power.
************************************************** **********************

And the 2nd. thing is, i am buying a serving material and i need to choice one of these;
- BCY SERVING BRAIDED HALO 024 (can't get the thicker one)
- BCY SERVING N.62 BRAIDED 0.25

- BROWNELL SERVING CROWNE 026
- BROWNELL SERVING CROWNE 022

- BROWNELL SERVING DIAMONDBACK 0.26
- BROWNELL SERVING DIAMONDBACK 0.22

I think "BCY SERVING BRAIDED HALO 024" should be the best, i dont know...
DNK says the "halo is the best".

Thanks for the help and sorry for band english.

Milan -

Depends on what crossbow you are using.
Without any backup, these pieces of "foam" or rubber or whatever they may be, are not going to be good enough to stop anything but the small pistol crossbows.

Do what some others have done, get a canvas bag, stuff it with other pieces of canvas, old cloths, etc. and use that.

Thanks Mike!
I use Exocet200 and 420 - 440gr. bolts.
The rubber stops arrows pretty well. I just hope that is not rubber lol.
Pulling an arrow from a rubber is not an easy job....I have felling the old cloths and stuff are not
soo good, because the arrow is not stopped "constantly" and if i hit the same hole again...Yes i know
it is the cheapest target, but if i get those 2-pcs of "rubber"(or whatever it is) and something behind for backup,
i think it will be great.

Someone anything about the serving?

Hello!
Finally here it is, my very first "serving"...
I reserved 4 days old flemish fast flite string. I shot 35 shoots today with Exocet 200 and I am very impressed with the result lol
I made it very-very tight lol...here, after 35 shots (I used BCY braided Halo .024). And thanks for advices.
