Default Which McKenzie target?

I've narrowed it down to 2 but I don't know which would be the better choice. I'm looking at the Tuff Buck and the Carbon Buck.

I like the TB because of the price and both sides being the same, but the CB says it's made from Superflex foam. Is this target specifically designed for carbon arrows? I don't want to spend as much time pulling arrows as I do shooting them.

TUFF BUCK

CARBON BUCK

Mike, I have a TuffBuck and it does stop the arrows very nicely. I've only shot Vapors into it so far. I see that your link said that you can shoot braodheads into it, and you can, but,........You can't get em out! I shot mine with a Rocket Ultimate Steel 75, I ended up having to remove the nock and gently tap on the arrow with a small wooden block to expose the BH. Then unscrew it and finally pull the arrow back out. Then I guess I had a mental block and must've thought it was a fluke, SO I DID IT AGAIN,.......same results. As for pulling fieldtipped arrows, I'd say it's pretty tough until the foam gets a little weaker where the arrows hits. Now that mines finally "broke in" I like it alot. I still am not willing to try another BH yet. I've been thinkin of getting a Carbon Buck mid-section to slip into my TuffBuck body and try this. I just hope that BH's can be removed easier. I have not heard ANY reviews on the CarbonBuck though. If you go with the Carbon, let me know what ya think.

Whichever McKenzie target you get, I'd suggest also getting an arrow puller and silicone to put on your tips.
