Crossbow targets

I know we've talked about this before, but I sure couldn't find it back in the archives. What's a good target for stopping these bolts? The styrofoam ones don't get it done. Also, I'd like to keep it affordable if possible.
Thanks,
Greg

The block whether it is a crossbow one or standard one works well. I have the standard.

The yellow hammer mini slammer for field points only $50 Can. Pull your bolts out with 3 fingers.

Gary, he is hi and right with both those bolts, give him points for consistency. You might say consistency "costs" you.

HI to you

you could use some old clothing and/or blanckets and put them in a
burlap bag (compress them in the bag) fill it up and it is great

very easy to pull out (2 finger not forcing)

We use a Dead End bag.

It stands up nice to many shots and is around $60.

This site is a review for broadhead targets. The site requires you register to become a member first before being allowed to read the results I guess. http://www.broadheadtests.com/NEWHEADS.html I checked flying ace's site but didnt find anything yet. If your looking for a field tip target then I would suggest you make your own to save money. Mine is made from the cotton like fiber material like they use as a sound insulator in the door of Saturn cars. Its very similar to the stuff they use to put in some couch's and sofa's, and other bedding material. Something else that I havnt tryed that I think would work good is carpet padding. There is several different types. Just roll it up tight and start to tie it up a little section at a time with twine or something to hold it and keep it compressed.
