I have used various broadhead targets and pretty much been disappointed with all of them.  Any suggestion?

Dirt. Sand. A creek bank or bed.

Big red Simpson Desert sand dunes or sand drifts around small spinifex clumps are good, if you have any of them handy!

Get a BLOB, the best target I've ever owned. Will last for many years.

I use old foam boogie boards bought from thrift stores. The type of foam board that's like the self-sealing foam targets.

The most I've paid for one is $3

sand banks ...
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

I've never shot a blob but I tried a rhino block and it doesn't take broadheads very well. I agree with the sand comment, it's rough on broadheads but works amazingly well.

I always start practicing for the fall by leaving a ladder leaning against a tree and sooting every morning.  One or two of my arrows are tipped with BHs.  I shoot those at objects ont eh ground rather than the deer target.  Takes a couple of seconds to clean the dirt out of them, but the ground never gets worn out   :biglaugh:
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

yall must have different blobs than me, i got 8 of them when they delivered to tx 2 years ago and they are all shot to pieces!! This year i started shooting a new one with broadheads in july and it didnt last a month till it was in many pieces even shooting it on the narrow side, started on another and had the middle shot out in a week. I had better luck with the rhinehart 18n1. even a morrel six shooter has held up better for me(though it is shot on all 4 sides and has a huge hole through the middle).

An old pizza  box taped closed with the spray foam insulation sprayed into variously located holes in the box also works in a pinch. It just takes a day to dry. They don't last too long though.

18-1 reinheart works for me, but not as good price wise as dirt or sand banks.
