I was at a place that used a company called Pacific Bow Butts. ( www.pbbts.com) They have some nice targets from what I understand from others. Apparently not too expensive.........but I will admitt I have no idea what "not to expensive" means. Their # is 1-877-642-4989.

I used aircraft insulation it would come in blocks that were close in size to hay bales, but I can't remember were we got them.

Doesn't sound like your getting the advice you need. It's a business, different "rules". There's got to be a place that sells the stuff target manufactures use to make targets. It should come in large sheets. Medium and high density foam shouldn't be that hard to find.

Two places in Missour manufacture compressed polystyrene close to me... would probably work real well as a general backstop to catch stray arrows that missed your primary targets. They sell to OEM's and other companies and their stuff is used for boat dock flotation to pontoon boats and other things. It can be purchased in any size, any thickness.

Falcon Foam is in Perryville, MO., and there's a competitor in Fredericktown, MO.,ran by some guys who broke off and started their own business. It's called Versa-Tech. AGoogle search ought to turn up both of them.
