Deer, turkey and the odd sharp toothed critter are on the top of my list.
Here is one of my faviorite targets.

Are you looking for a field point target or a broadhead target?

Morrell makes a crossbow bag target which is really nice.

More specifically, the Merell Crossbow Target (bag). I made te mistake of leaving my two out in the weather (rain) all summer, made arrow removal harder but still stopped the 350 fps arrows at less than 1/2 their length at 30 yards.

I've had a BUNCH of targets. Tried to get by cheap w/ layered foam types, as they take both types of points. Bheads chew them up fast. I'm on my 2nd Morrell bag target for field points and will gladly get another when this one is shot up too much. The best bhead target I've seen is the Rinehart 18-1. It's hard to pull carbons from w/ field points or I'd use it full time for all.
