Try the morrell yellow jacket target. I've had mine for 3 years and it still looks new. Pulling field points is a bit tough though.

I put old outdoor seat cushions in a box and use that.

I made a great field point target out of tons of feed sacks and grocery bags and anything else soft and stuffable. I just throw it all in a burlap sack or similar, tie the top,and use a marker to put a target on it. They last me for several months with no pass throughs and cost me NOTHING. That's the way to go.

Made the same target 3 months ago. When it starts to wear-out I'll just get another burlap sack, slide the old one into it, mark some spots to shoot at and I'm good to go. The only expense in my set-up is the PVC pipe stand I made ('bout 6 bucks). Now just need to find a way to make something for broad-heads.

Ihave a 3X3 cardboard box filled with old clothes. Only problem is half of the clothes are jeans so the thing weighs like 30lbs. Not much fun luggin' it around.

My father and I found some packing styrofoam and we cut it into squares, duck taped the edges and it worked great!!

you should give it a try!

I use shrink wrap stuff it in a corn sack and paint turkey,deer,bear on it and they last forever and most supply stores beg you to take that stuff

I went to a landscape company and got some scrap pond liner, for those backyard garden pond's, and cut those in squares to fit perfect inthe box I had, it works similar to the block, but not as compressed. So the arrows come out easier.

Our local club has made several carpet bales that work quite well for field points. Just find 150 each 16x32 carpet pieces and use all-thread and plywood to pinch them all together. The gives you a huge target that you can tighten down as your shooting wears it out. The arrows pull easily and will most likely never see a pass-through. As a design note, use 4 pieces of all-thread, instead of 2, located in each corner to achieve an even compression; this will give better stopping power and easier arrow removal. I'm planning on making one for my home shooting because it's cheap and works.
