I shoot into a 3D deer target right now & it looks like swiss cheese ...lol...
I also have an endless supply of straw, but, it's not good for broadheads...
Thanks for helping out.

Truthfully, the best broadhead targets I've ever used are the Large blocks of white styrofoam. A guy close by sells them for $20 each, and these things are literally 6' long and 3.5' thick. I've had the same one for 4 years and, even though its rough getting hte arrows out, it does what its supposed to do: stop the arrows.

sunset, Last year my son and I shot into our 3-D deer target so much it finally fell in 2 pieces. I went to Cabela's about 75 miles away and bought the smaller version of the BLOCK target and of course quite a few dollars worth of other archery supplies that I couldn't live without. We shoot at the BLOCK mostly with FPs as our BHs seem to tear it up. I know we have shot more arrows into the BLOCK now than the 3-D target before it was junk and it still stops our carbon arrows easily. When I first got the BLOCK the arrows pulled out a little tough, but now after maybe 600 shots into it the arrows pull out easier. Hope this helps. TerryE

I always suggest 2 seperate targets for field points and broadheads.......blades are just too destructive to a target to expect any real life with a lot of shooting.
I'd suggest a Morrell "Bionic Buck" or a good bag target for the bulk of your shooting and practice with field points......then pick up a cheaper expendable target (Or a replacement midsection for your 3D taget) for making sure your broadheads are flying true.

I'm with Matt/Pa with this one. I would get two target to shoot at. one for bh and one for fp. that is if you have the extera Money to buy two targets.

This is usually the type of post where folks come on and start blasting the Black Hole target. Though probably not the best layered target I have still found it more than adequate for repeated field point shooting. However, if you are going to be shooting both field points and broadheads of any configuration into it then I would probably suggest a replaceable cover style bag target. They stop arrows quite well, are highly portable and you can replace the cover whenever you shoot it up.

Don't get the Yellow Jacket if you plan to shoot field tips. It does do a good job of stopping broadheads, but trying to pull field tipped arrows from it can be a job in itself. Now it is a "broadhead only target"......so go figure........

getcha a 50 lb bag of corn that comes in a plastic weave bag, dump the corn out somewhere animals would appreciate it - after cutting the top open carefully - stuff it with old blankets - sew it up with some fake sinew or fishing line - put some dots on it - total cost - about $6. or go to a place that roasts coffe and buy one of the huge burlap bags their coffee beans come in for $2 - that's what they charge me - then follow above directions. i'm not buying anymore targets when i can make them. we buy rice in a 5 lb burlap bag from our local warehouse store (sam's club). i stuff it with a blanket and that's my replacement midsection for my 3d deer. stuff them tight. probably not good for broadheads, but my expandables shoot exactly like my field points.

I am with Matt on this one........2 separate targets, I use a bag target and its strictly for field points. You can shoot the hardest hitting bow and still pull arrows with finger and a thumb. Mine is so old I forgot the name of it, but I can still find bag covers for it.

I also shoot 2 targets. A Cabelas super C bag target for field points and a 3-d deer for broadheads and I had a block but never again. From my very first shots I was pulling out huge slivers of the target and now I can shoot right through the middle. I was thinking of buying a Yellowjacket target mainly for broadheads but I figured I would shoot some field points but an earlier post said they don't pull easy. Does anyone have more info on the Yellowjacket???
