Welcome! I think the best thing you can get yourself is an S5 (the Excalibur string stopper).
Some people just like stepping on rakes

Welcome!!!!! :D
When you sight your bow in use crosshair for 20yds...then back off to 40 and use speed ring, dial up if high, down if low. Once on 30 / 50 should be on.
As for target I use x-bow block and a morrell yellow jacket for field pts.
You will LOVE your excal!!! Deadly accurate and damn reliable!!!!!
Good luck!!

Welcome to the forum!

Thick skin might be needed to protect from the darts thrown at you by a few anti-CB archers. :lol:

Welcome! A good cheap target to make is stuff rags in a box or bag, make sure to pack them in real tight, that's slot of power you got there! Make it about 16" deep. Works for my vortex, goes about 1/2 way through. Only field points! :D

Welcome
As far as making a target tons of ways to do it feed bags full of clothes,shrink wrap from around skids all great for field points

Making a broadhead target a little more thought into how are they going to come out is needed have not been successful in making an easy to use one.I found broadheads that shoot the same as my field points so I don't shoot them anymore.

Here's mine full of clothes in a mess bag and a little foam to give it a flat front
