U Stuff It bag is my favorite cheap target. I have a U Stuff It deer that is the poor-man's 3-D.
Three $2 Straw bales are the best for your buck if you build a little roof over them.

I agree with stumpkiller. Hay bales last a long time if you keep them dry and don't use broadheads.

$100.00 those Rinehart octogon blocks (blk/grn
bullseyes) are tough and portable.

i use a Block it is a good target once ya shoot the middle of one side out just turn it around as ya have 17 more and it takes a long time to shoot one side out. as far as value for money it would be for you Guys. i payed $ 249 NZ for mine i think they cost you guys $90 usa so yup it would be a good buy.

i tried the block target,black hole and mackenzir shot blocker and they all died fast esp when broadheads come into play
i sucked it up and spent the cash and got a rhinehart rhinoblock. so far its holding up really good esp with all the broadheads i have fired into it. plus it has a replacable core and 2 sides of pop out deer vitals that look liek a 3d target. pricy but worth it. should be able to get over 2 years easy with this.

Larry, I bought this target back in the mid 90's. Hate to know how many arrows it has seen. I've never done a thing to it. Its great, arrows stay perfectly straight in it when they hit. Of course it is for field tips only. Arrow pull right out with ease.

I can say with absolute certainty that it is NOT the GlenDell targets. I have that and a Morrells bag target. That bag target is almost as good as new almost four years later.

Homemade bag target. I end up replacing them due to UV rot before they are shot out.
And replacing them just means popping another bag over the existing target.

That's pretty neat, Tom. Is it stuffed with cotton or something?
I have a large styrofoam block in the cellar I shoot at at least once daily (14 yards - not bad - 20 if I feel lucky shooting past the furnace and the fuel oil lines coming down from the ceiling). Yesterday I had a bullseye that blew through and killed a box full of packing we keep for shipping gifts. Glad it wasn't something valuable - but I guess it's time to replace the block. I like that upholstered box arrangement of yours.

I use the large Morrell Outdoor target. I have put several new replacement covers on it, but the inner stuff is holding up. I have had it about 4 years. I usually leave it out year round. It gets pretty heavy so I use a wheelbarrow when I do move it arround. This year I've been covering it with a tarp.
