Default Best Deer Target for Broadheads?

I've been using the Glendel Deer Target for a couple of years and I have found it to be less than advertised. For example, the so called layers are not compressed enough to last and there is a lot of hard plastic and metal inside the neck and legs that destroy heads and inserts. Many times when you pull a broadhead out of the vitals it takes a bunch of layers with it leaving a gaping hole. Can anyone recommend a better more durable deer target for broadheads and field points?

The only 3-D Target that I used is a cheap $20 one that I found at a garaged sale. It was only shot 10 times! I would try to find a cheap one.
So if it did fall apart, you wouldn't be out much.

geronimo i too have the glendel and was disappointed. i shot simply field points in it for a long time and then started with broadheads and it was destroyed ever since. don't buy any of the new inserts for it either, i made that mistake thinking it would be better and they weren't, they are destroyed in less than a year! good luck, i thought about getting one of those morrel targets but not sure yet.

It's not a deer target but I use a morell yellow jacket target broadhead target. Though the arrows are hard to pull out of it i have well over 200 shots into it and its going strong as ever. Only complaint is the very hard pulling arrows.
