I know the expense is prohibitive, but I have been shooting a glendale buck and feel that shooting at a life like deer target helps me more than shooting at block style targets. You can move the target to mimic the different angles a deer shows in real life. To me shooting at a block target does not give me that edge. When I shoot at the real thing it is just like what I do in practice. Just my honest opinion......
For Cossak, if you are shooting spitfires I highly recommend the Cabelas expandables as they are pretty much the same thing. I like the spitfires as well, but the Cabelas version is half the price. $19.99. And I have been using them for about three years and taken at least nine deer with them and have had no trouble finding the deer afterwards.

The best CB target for the money I've found is a burlap feed bag from the farm store stuffed full of old clothes or blankets. Just make sure you cut out all the snaps, buttons, zippers. I've made 2 of these for less than $5. I realize you are talking about store bought targets, but I'm just saying.... they do work well for F/P's. And when both sides wear out. Just buy a new bag for $2.....
