Default target helppppp

ok guys i need a new target! my 30$ walmart Knight and Hale is GARBAGE just as Buck Magnet said......i sunk my 3 arrows into it and the FPs came out the back about an inch...and i broke a MAJOR sweat and about killed myself for 20 minutes trying to get them out. i took it back and returned it. one thing about walmart is they will return dang near ANYTHING. that target had 3 holes in both sides and dirt from my feet(yes i stood on it to get them out!) sooooo now i need a good target for the next 3 months or so.....something that removal isnt tough and hopefully i can find one that can take a few broadhead shots when i sight my bow in with them..thing is i REALLY dont wanna spend more then 50-60ish$ on it right now...i REALLY want a climbing stand so i aint lugging ladder stands all over the woods....anyone have any recomendations??

ps.....its gota STOP my arrows before the feathers lol...im shooting in my backyard with houses around....i got a haybale wall and fences and such for a backstop but i rather my target stop the arrows...

thanks guys

Although I've never shot it, this target looks like a perfect fit for your price range. Morrel makes great targets. I had a similar bag target and shot it for a couple years. They hold up pretty well and are priced well.

Bass pro has a version of the block that is great... If you shoot alot you are going to tear up any target... But the BLOCK is a great one....

for broadheads i haven't found one better than the morell yellowjacket. its cheap too. i've made my own from directions from a member here - but my chickens keep eating the foam on it. for field points i'd suggest a bag target. don't shoot fp's into the yellow jacket - or any other target designed for broadheads or broadheads and field pts in my opinion.
i can put a hole thru a block or any other dual purpose target in under a month.

I've shot every target on the market and I can say that the Morell Yellowjacket is the best. Unfortunately you said that you want a target that will allow the arrows to come out of easily. This is not the case with the yellow jacket because it is a broad head target. So here is my suggestion. Fire a bunch of broad heads in to a location and then fire your field points into the same place. That will make it much easier to remove. I've shot my yellow jacket for about 4 years straight now (98% field points).I shoot about 3 times a week during the summer and as I get closer to hunting season I shoot 5 times a week. In 4 years I still haven't turned the target around and started shooting the other side.

Don't get a block. For the money it is the worst on the market.

I agree with GibbletYou want a bag target for field points and "Yellow Jacket" for broad heads

Yellow Jacket all the way! I shoot both FP, and broadheads into it with no problems.
