targets? bails, blocks, or 3D's?

Straw bails. Spray paint a target on the front with some 99 cent spray paint. Compound bows give the human too much of an edge and are unethical  Might as well ban those or make them go with the modern season because they shoot better than most pistols.

Shoot a Black Hole target, but it is getting pass throughs after a couple month with field tips, my Wac 'ems really tear it up!  Have two hay bales that I sometimes tack a target to, recently got a Delta Burly Bag, and I have a foam turkey decoy that I stuffed with bubble wrap as tight as possible and a little electrical tape to keep it snug.  That has been my daily target for the last month or so and is holding up surprisingly well.  Not bad for $10 and ingenuity.

Trying to convince the wife I really need to have a Glen-Del Buck or an Elk target!

I have been shooting a block for 4 years now and it is still holding up strong, also have a Mckenzie 3-d mule deer and bear set up in the yard to spice things up a bit.

 To those who shoot bails (hay/straw). Don't you rip your fletchings? I don't fletch my own sticks, so it gets expensive to have arrows refletched (is that a real word?). Just a question, but $100 some odd dollars for a good target or replace fletching everyday you shoot?

The only times when this happens to me is when I miss and then it hits something else besides the target... or when it goes between bales too deep once in a while. I think it goes with the territory of the compound bows though and I think that's what you were really talking about. Everything in that world costs more. You need all kinds of gadgets for this and that... Sights, rangefinders, tune ups, limb dealy bobs, whatever.... However I would imagine it could be a problem for some people and in both aspects of archery. If you get a used fletching jig it might not be too much of an investment with good returns.

Hey ROBO- we need to get some gunny sacks (burlap bags) and fill them with plastic bags to shoot at like at richards. just remember to put some mill felt or rubber or something behind them.
