Default broadhead target

Are there any good targets for shooting broadheads that allow for easy removal. My old styrofoam sheets are cheap but it is difficult to remove arrows and at times it worries me that I might actually bend an arrow while pulling it.

bag targets work very well.

It would appear to me that the covers would destroy in a very short period of time. What about the block? They advertise them as being for use with broadheads.

I have always shot my broadheads into a 6" high density foam target. The b-heads penetrate all the way thru and I remove them from the arrow before I pull my arrows out. It's a bit of a pain but it eliminates the chance of damageing the arrow or broadhead.

I have a block and I do not like it at all. From the very beginning when shooting broadheads I was pulling out large slivers of foam and within a few months I was shooting all the way through it. I am going to try either the Morrel Yellowjacket target for $35 at Bass Pro or the Morrel Six Shooter for $40. They both cost a lot less than the block and you can shoot into all the sides.

Morrell Humungo is a great broadhead target. Bag targets tear up easy, and sometiems its VERY hard to get a broadhead out of them. Blocks are also great, but theyre expensive.

I agree w/ hunter 9022 - Bag targets are not good for broadheads. Tears up the bag and arrow removal can be very difficult. I did once to see - not again.
