I would pass on it, I have a decent bag target that my 300FPS bow blasts right through.
Targets are one of those things you will save a lot of heartache over by spending a few more dollars.

Bottom line a bolt traveling between 290-350fps needs a layered crossbow block. Any of the cheap bags or foam will either ruin your bolts or they will pass through or worst stop somewhere dead center. Then you have to dig them out. Price? Figure $50-70. Morrel or The Block most common.

I've got a morrel bag target, stops both Phoenix and Emax at 20 and 30 for field tips. Chewed aBlock into nothing in short order, so now I have MCKenzie layered foam for b-heads. You can tighten them up via cables on corners, twice each.

I have "the block" target. Holding up pretty well so far. Few hundred shots and a couple broadheads. It was 80 bucks but worth every penny.

Ths $25 bag from Walmart (the one that seems to be filled with plastic bags) works great for field points. In fact it's my 20 yard target because it contains the bolts so well. Bolts never go to vanes and pull out very easily. I'm shooting two X bows well over 300 fps. Do NOT use it for broadheads, however.

I have the morrel bag target too,I have to pull half my arrows out through the back?? It is getting to the time of year that I will be using broadheads more often so it may be time to buy something new.


*edit* Just went out to do some shooting before heading to work, my bag target is a Delta, not a Morell...
