Default RE: which target should I buy?

From what I have seen from the Block 4 x 4, I'm not really impressed with this target as one of which can stand up to any ole abuse. Broadheads have basically tore this thing to shreads.

In all honesty, the best target for broadheads would be the Morrell Yellow Jacket. Don't expect to shoot field points into this target though. It will stand up to the abuse better than "layered" type targets but field points tend to get super glued into these high density foam targets.

If you are going for store bought, Morrell is the way to go.

Otherwise, you can easily make yourself some targets out of ordinary items like feed sacks stuffed with plenty of plastic grocery bags, old clothes, blankets, etc.

Or, you can stack layers of cardboard flat and secure them with two piece of channel iron and some all thread to tighten the cardboard as it begins to wear out.

And finally, if you can find large pieces of styrofoam, this works well too. Some people use large pieces of styrofoam for docks.

Others might have some input as well.
