RE: homemade targets
I made a great field point target out of tons of feed sacks and grocery bags and anything else soft and stuffable. I just throw it all in a burlap sack or similar, tie the top,and use a marker to put a target on it. They last me for several months with no pass throughs and cost me NOTHING. That's the way to go.

I went to a landscape company and got some scrap pond liner, for those backyard garden pond's, and cut those in squares to fit perfect inthe box I had, it works similar to the block, but not as compressed. So the arrows come out easier.

RE: homemade targets
Our local club has made several carpet bales that work quite well for field points. Just find 150 each 16x32 carpet pieces and use all-thread and plywood to pinch them all together. The gives you a huge target that you can tighten down as your shooting wears it out. The arrows pull easily and will most likely never see a pass-through. As a design note, use 4 pieces of all-thread, instead of 2, located in each corner to achieve an even compression; this will give better stopping power and easier arrow removal. I'm planning on making one for my home shooting because it's cheap and works.
