Default Deer target

I thinking about getting a full size deer target whats a good one for the money that will stop a crossbow arrow,pull out easy, and hold up outdoors.

Thanks in advance

Martin, I just use real deer and the arrows ain't no problem coming out the other side. LOL Really though, I don't know of any deer target that arrows come out easily. Seems targets are designed to stop arrows but not to let them come back out too good. Ain't that a pisser?

If I had to buy one it would be the one that has the layered foam in it, I think it may be called the Glendale buck, or maybe I am thinking of something else. I had one a few years ago, it was the all solid foam kind with a replacement center. I was with my older Horton and that target sucked big time! The arrows were like glued in there. I could not imagine shooting my Vortex in it. I am pretty happy with the plain targets. I have thought about getting a deer style target for my dad to get a better feel for aiming from a tree, but have yet to do it.
