I use a cardboard box with scrap nylon screen in it (left over from window company's) all I ever do is replace the box. If you pack it , it will stop anything. I have been using the same screen for 15 years and saving money.:cool:

Thongg, it works great with target points but do not shoot broadheads you will have a heck of a time getting them out. When I shoot broadheads I put a paper plate on a sand bank. Good luck:)

I had access to old saran wrap material which was used to protect furniture. Wadded up put into large box also stop any arrow plus pulls out easy.

For broadheads I use the Crossbow King by American Whitetail Targets. It will outlast the Block by 4 to 1 and it is less than half the price.

You can order direct or available thrugh a bunch of stores.

For field points any good, heavy bag target will work..

I saw someone using green fibre insulation blocks found at Home Depot or Lowes on another forum with great results. Just used boat shrink wrap to seal it all together. I think the blocks were $9/ea.
