Boy this must be the season for us noobs. I bought a rineheart 18-1 which works great and will stand up to anything you can throw at it (guaranteed).

Check out the thread "exomax target" thread also discussing this issue.

I dont think you'll find a target that won't "dull" your BHs,they're going to get dull no matter what you shoot them into.I only use one BH for target shooting,just to make sure they fly the same as my FPs.

An old feed bag packed with rags works best on field points, and gives easy removal with 2 fingers. It'll last you many years. After a lot of shooting Kick it around to move the rags a little inside and your ready to shoot again. As I use mechanicals that come with a weighted practice point now I don't worry about testing them now.

x 2 on the feed bag with old clothes. Just make sure you cut off zippers and buttons. More old feed bags are good for stuffing too.
