Thanks TFOX, that also helps me, between you and bigcountry I've found exactly what I need, I appreciate it guys.
It's not the target, it's the same one you have, the Morrell outdoor bag, it's stopped ALL arrows through many bows except my Allegiance and these pointy points I have. It's the KE and the points. Like I said, I have ONE point that differs and the bag stops that one but not the others. I know when I change points, I'll be fine. Right now I have to put another target behind it to stop my arrows. I know I'll have even more of an issue when my 82nd comes (if I don't change points).
Thanks again guys.

I say ditto this, but maybe you need a better target as well. I have a Morrell Outdoor range, about $80, that I've never had an arrow even poke the back side of. If you're using something this durable, and poking all the way through, then the bults may help.

If I was you, I would start using bullet points. bowhunterssuperstore has em in all kinds of sizes.

You might look into getting a piece of rubber or coal mine belt to hang behind the target,that will stop anything.

RE: Field points for ACC's.
Man, I feel your pain Rob. I got a second Outdoor Range bag for my basement just last week, and I've been shooting down there every night. Each game, I've gotta move the target every 5 ends to prevent arrows from coming out the back. Tonight I ruined 2x brand new GoldTip 30x Pro's because they poked out the far side and smashed into the concrete block wall. [:'(]
I've gotta get this bag hung, they stop arrows MUCH better when hanging......I think the arrows lose more energy when the bag has some give to it as compared to just sitting on the ground leaning against something.

I have put the morrell bag in my garage for paper tuning setup. And it worked great until I had a few arrows go thru, and into the wall into the laundry room. But I couldn't find a bigger bag to use. I should have put some 3/4" ply behind.

I can't believe I have gone through 3 of those things in the past 8 or so years.I am also on my second cover on the 3rd one.

But, in morrells defense. They are still the most durable game going.

.You can get a 24" spyderweb as well for a LOT less, around $130 I hear.

RE: Field points for ACC's.
Morrel Outdoor Range is definately one of the best BAG targetsbut there are a few others that are good as well.
Like I said,I would go through some of the others in about a month,these last MUCH longer.

I don't know about that, they are pretty good compared to other bags, butthe new spyderweb targets are supposed to be amazing. I've heard of them at public ranges taking 150,000 arrows without pass throughs. They are pricey though, at nearly $700 for the large one. If my next house has a full 20 yards in the basement, I'll have one of these.......

700 dollars, they better come with a person to bring the arrows back to me.
