are you looking for a broadhead or just a field point target.

I assume by saying "block" you mean rubber for broad heads. Try searching this site. It has allot of threads on this. Best I remember is rubber link-together mats at your hardware store.

That should keep you going.


If you want a field tip target - go to a coffee roaster and get some sacks. Stuff them with the plastic bags from grocery stores. Stuff them very full. Sew up the top of the sack and voila! You've got a target the will stop the fastest field tipped arrow - providing you stuffed it tight enough. Gotta love recycling.

Failing all of the above - and if you've got $100 burning a hole in your pocket - buy one of these http://www.bulldogtargets.com/

I did and it's a great target. Easy to transport and stops arrows like a brick.

Bulldog double dog is a great field point target and for shooting spot rounds by the 1000's for 2 people at the same time.

For broadheads the yellowjacket can sure take a beating and they pull straight back out the blade cuts

hardcore carries the double dogs and the vernon Outdoor store carries the yellowjackets

Both great for walk back tuning :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Thanks guys.
it just kills me to spend over $100 on a target block made of "just" foam.
I guess it beats shooting into a stump. I have tried a hay bail and it worked fine. So for $5 I can just leave it in the bush and not worry about it being taken.

I have the Rinehart 18-1 block and it is great. Good size for in the jeep and has taken 1000's of arrows and still not ratty. Hay works but is messy to move and use. I have made bag target and they work well but need set up time. The Rinehart you just drop on a stump and shoot until your arms hurt. I hate things that cost more than you need but found this to be a good use of money. Arrows and heads are pricey and this saves them both for repeated use. I got mine at chilliwack dart and tackle.
