The first target I bought was too small, missed it and lost arrow(-$30). Next was bigger but foam(bolts went too deep, messed up fletching(-$25.) Looked at BPS -saw lots of bigger XBow targets(+100.!) I was passing a Rent-A-Center and saw a 55" TV box behind the store, got it and then went to Harbor Freight-their dumpster was chock full of cheap Chinese boxes. Filled up the TV Box with Chinese boxes folded flat. Got a BIG backstop that nothing passes thru(Free), bolts don't go too deep even on 360fps broadheads and if I miss that-Shame on me. I need to hunt with a shotgun! Can use original target. Grasp bolt firmly and tap box with rubber mallet-they come right out.

Same here... best $1 I have invested in. (I use 2 feedbacks since they will hold up forever.

....and yea... they only penetrate a few inches and can be pulled out with 2 fingers easily.

I shoot an Excalibur Vortex, Flemish String, and weight forward arrows/bolts. So the feed bags work super...
