You know? For $40 I wouldn't buy a target at all. I'd find a good local archery club and join it. Then you could shoot their targets. Along the way you're likely to get involved, meet some new friends, and pick up a lot of good free advice if you ask the right people. That generlly means the better 3D or target shooters. Who knows, you might even find a coach that can help you, hands-on.

went and got a (carbon giant) target to day and so far it's a pretty good target, it stops arrow's good, at 4 feet it stopped my arrow and it only went half way in, but I'm only pulling 63 lbs
