RE: Broadhead Target???
I thought about making one similar to the neverwear. Buy one or two of those foam squares with the removable center circles. Buy some modeling clay in bulk from a craft store. Knock out the foam centers and fill with the clay. Probably a lot of work, but might be interesting. Still like using shot up midsecions though.

RE: Broadhead Target???
Here is mine. It cost me about $80 to build starting with nothing. Everything was bought from Home Depot. It cost around $15 to replace worn sections. The arrow sticking in it is 33", 4 blade Muzzy 145 grain shot from a 70 pound parker 32 inch draw.

Forkedhorn, due you use a certain type of clay, specially formulated to never dry out and not stick to broadehads and arrows, like neverwear says they use?
If not, do you have any problems with the drying out, sticking to arrows concerns?
Bob-co, that's the pink insulation foam board, right? Any problems with residue on arrows or pulling shafts/heads out?

Rangeball, yess it is. It comes prefolded. I think the whole sheet is around $33. You need one sheet for the entire target. Then just replace layers as needed.
As far as residue, and pulling shafts out - no problems here. But note that I only shoot aluminun arrows.

RE: Broadhead Target???
Rangeball,
I use no special type of clay and since I set it up in Sept I've had no problems with it drying out or sticking to my arrows. I was worried about it freezing, but even during a week in the 20's, it worked fine. The clay does sick a little to the broadheads, depending on how many holes and crevices the head has, but it comes right out because it sticks to itself more than it does to metal.
I actually have my bucket in a large plastic tub that I have filled with old rags and then covered with a piece of burlap. If I happen to miss the bucket, the arrow hits the clothes. It takes a little cutting to get the broadhead out, but not too much.. Also, I like to shoot field points into the clothing target since it is so easy to remove them.
