Target for broadhead use????

[Rudy Cariello]

What are you folks using? I've yet to find one that holds up very well.

Blob target

I've taken a cardboard box and filled it with a can of expandable spray foam then taped it shut with great results. Cost about $3 and will last through an entire season of getting my bow set up.

like sheffler above except sprayed into a trash bag then tie and shape into something before it fully sets up.

I've tried many targets and the one Kirk is showing is the one I'm currently using. Awesome product. Holding up very well to my 300 grain single bevel bh

At home, I use the 18:1 Rinehart also.  The blob is great but more of a permanent type target.  There is no moving that thing around.        

I don't shoot a lot of broadheads at my target.  Only to tune bow.  I probably should shoot more BHs but I don't.

For around the camp with BHs I do a medium pizza box filled with the foam like the others were mentioning.  Weight it down with a heavy pan to prevent the box from becoming deformed while the foam is expanding.

I have a foam block like Bldtrailer has pictured. I'm on my second one and it is almost shot out but still works. Been using them for about 10 years I guess. I traded 4 osage seedlings for my first one at the Hickory shoot in NC and paid about $30 for the second one. I don't know what they cost now but I imagine more than that.
 I've shot commercial broadheads, trade points and stone points at it and it works well for them all.

straw bales banded together as tight as you can get them, are all i've used for years.  $12-15 dollars for 3 and they last for 2-4 years depending on usage and weather...  When they get shot up that the arrows fly through them, I reband them and they are like new again..  They are a bit harder on fletching, but that is no big deal to me.  I just refletch when needed.

I really like the looks of that blob target. I'm in desperate need of another target. I've got 5 different targets in the yard and they are all cut to pieces....I've got pieces of a 3D deer filling up holes in foam blocks. My bale and bag targets aren't in much better condition.

Seriously considering the blob. Looks like it'll run about $130 if I go pick it up in North Georgia. I'm headed down that way in a couple weeks anyways, so I may kill two birds with one stone.

Couple questions for you guys who have them...how hard is it to pull arrows out (do I risk inserts pulling out in the target)? And will big, vented 3 blade Snuffers pull it apart?

If you know someone in the foam spraying business, they can make one for you real quick.  The local guy sprays several different density foams.

I had the blob target and fell apart in about a year.

Free---Go to Big R or Rural King or Tractor Supply what ever is in your region.  In the trailer area they ship Foam Spacers that are about 18''x8''x8'' blocks.  Get 4 or more and make your own for free.  Get a few new blocks each yr.  I just ask the manager and take what I need.  Lot of foam blocks available in the spring trailer shipments.

My blob targets have sat outside for many years and the weather doesn't seem to affect them. Broadheads, trade points and stone points all pull out easily. I wouldn't use it for stone or trades if they didn't.

[Iowabowhunter]

I love my Rinehart 18-1 pictured at the top.

Going to get one of their deer targets before long

[Pryor]

I bought the Block last season, before elk, and exclusively shot broad heads in it.  For all the hype, and advertising what a P.O.S. Lasted maybe 3 months before It would not stop my compound arrows.  It Is still stopping my traditional stuff, but can only shoot at the corners, and no broad heads.  I have a friend who shoots the rinehart 18 in 1 and it has lasted him 2 years.  that is going to be my next investment.

[NY Yankee]

Styrofoam block from Wal-Mart. Works real well and 18 bucks lasts a couple seasons for me.

[don kauss]

If it will be outside, and moving it around isn't necessary, you can make a broadhead bunker...dig out the dirt and fill with sand...archery clubs have been doing it forever...works great...never have to replace it...if you are interested, I can send you some pics/measurements of the one I made...

[halfseminole]

Can someone link me on these blob targets?  I need something for the heavy bows and very heavy arrows from my Asian setups.
