I just run a bag target in the back yard, some bumblebee thing. For broadheads I just go to the F&W area bow range and use the sand pits. My buddy had a broadhead block target we shot for a few years. It lasted longer than I expected.

Foam layered block for most of the time, and whatever brand of foam block is on sale when I need to replace one.
If I know I'm going to shoot a bunch of field broadheads (Slick-Trick, Montecs, etc) for practice, I'll use a Reinhart blemished Rhino-block when the local archery dealer has one in stock.

This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHnxWuRXgO8Costs nothing but a few dollars for allrod and hardware. It can be made as large as you want for longer distance shooting.

For field points, a big bag full of packed rags. I tried wadded up shrink wrap but it sticks to the arrows too much. They're hard to clean off. I've used the same rags through several new covers. I cut a 6" hole in some cardboard for a template and use spray paint to make bulls.

The Block Black. I bought it because it was on sale. The first time I shot it I didn't like it. Now, I realize that this thing will last me years and years. It is the best target I have used. Block Black

Block black for me too. Best feature is easy arrow removal. It's gonna last a long time too, years!
The Reinhardt block is very tough to get the arrows out. Annoyingly so! Everything else I have is 3D. I guess I have 7-8 now. the Glendel Buck is the only game in town! I painted it with high UV resistant paint and it's been outside for 8 years now still going strong. Just bought a new 4 side Insert last year.

Morell bag for FP. Old dock foam when I actually do shoot broadheads.

Gotcha, thanks. Years ago (about 20 yrs)we had some given to us, but we ran out a couple of years ago and haven`t been able to find any more.

The Blue foam is the very best if/when you find some.

Anyone else at the point of preferring to wear out a target and replace it then to have to struggle to get arrows out?
I hate the targets that grab your arrows like they are gorilla glued in. I'm done with them. I will shoot a block or cube type target and replace them avery 12-18 months if needed.
I like the bag targets too, but I have had them pull the points and inserts right out of the shafts on a couple occasions. The threads or fibers of the stuffing will entangle with the points at times and require you to cut them out or struggle to extract them as well.
This certainly has to do with the old crap you stuff them with. I just seem to hit them in a way that caused this problem a few times. They are also not at all UV resistant. They will begin to fall apart after one summer. As well as get totally saturated with water when it's raining.

I like bag targets for field points and a chunk of foam from the local foam factory for broadheads. I just picked up McKenzie speed bag from Scheels for $20 the other day, prior to that I got a Duck Commander one from Walmart for $25. They are good for about a year, then I toss them and get another.

Is the Block Vault the same as the Block Black target? They look the same, maybe they changed the name from Black to Vault.

Rinehart Rhino Bag, no comparison to the other bag targets I have used as far as arrow removal. My 7 year old niece has no problem pulling out our arrows out.

No love for the Rinehart 18-1??
Everything else I use is homemade bag target shaped like deer body or various 3D targets.
