I have a heavy duty cardboard box filled with crumpled up shrink wrap. It works great for field points. Arrows come out pretty easy. Lasts forever. Just change out the box when it wears out. I have mine under a cover to protect it from the rain. I have a separate target for broadheads.

You cant get much cheaper than most bag targets. Got one over at my brothers that i put some used carpet inside to line the sides with then filled with all manner of used plastic and hung between 2 fence posts. The carpet helped keep the burlap from getting too shot out too quick and it also helps keep the plastic in.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

It helps to have the homemade bag targets so they can swing which absorbs some of the energy and helps reduce pass-throughs.

To the OP, I've been very happy with my Rhinehart, though I don't shoot as much as I should.

Rinoblock with the removable core. It's not the cheapest up front but if you just save your broadheads for the core you'll never be able to destroy the rest of the target with your field points. I replace the core on mine every 2-3 years.

X2.  I've had my Rinhart Target for 3 or 4 years and have replaced the core once.  If you throw a wooden frame together, you can elevate the target a bit.  Additionally, by attaching some scrap carpet pieces (two deep) you can create a bit of a safety net for errant arrows (not that I ever miss, lol).

That's a good idea!

If you do the carpet, only attach it at the top.  If it is pulled tight, the arrow can go through it much more easily than if it is floppy. I watched a show where a billowing silk cape stopped arrows from old timey Chinese bows.
