C903-

I'm sorry if I burst your bubble, but we also thought the fiberboard were the cat's butt for awhile until we found out otherwise. Yes, we shot the compressed edges of all kinds of different fibrous material, and to this day if you wish to shoot at a compression target, my advice is to use or build something like the block with layered foam for that application. Trust me, you'll thank me later. No, you cannot see yourself shooting a broadhead into the ethafoam with rags behind it, but in reality as stated above a broadhead tipped arrow destroys most anything it is shot into quite quickly regardless as that's it's job, that's why most guys only shoot ONE tuned head when setting up their hunting equipment and shoot it into a foam media, and they don't pound them constantly for any length of time either. For general field use with parabolic points, those homemade ethafoam and rag targets will last at least as long as anything else on the market, they are fairly cheap to build, (especially if you can get the free rag scraps) and are easy on the arrows (and shoulders![8D])with two finger removal. I'm not the only one here that have found the fiberboard/celotex/insulation board/whatever tough on arrows.

If you do decide to go ahead with it, whatever you do never use the insulation board with the black facing on one side-- We had guys from one local club unknowingly pick this stuff up instead of the "clean" fiberboard and they went and built a full set of targets with it. The residue was ten times worse with that stuff due to the coating on the one side. Terrible![:'(]

Hope you find something that will work well for you. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
