Favorite block target?

[PolarBear]

I had some left over from helping a friend build a boat.  I think that it is the same density that they use in taxidermy forms, but not sure.  It was 12 or so years ago.  I have been thinking about researching different foams and making a few but square.  I had a couple that were a little bigger than footballs for kicking then random shooting but they are all beaten up.  I got the idea from a guy at the old archery shop that was on Jackson Highway in Chehalis years ago.

I have the same target from George at the archery house but it has finally started to wear down.  He sold them for only 5 bucks and was the best field point/broadhead target ever.  Just threw the foam in a plastic bad and you had a target.  I have looked into the foam to make my own but It seems way too expensive.

Yep, that's the guy I got the idea from.

Do you know if was 2 3 or 4pound foam that works the best?

That is the foam that I use to repair holes but it would take a ton of it to make a target, plus It isn't quite the right density.
Fiberlay on Idaho st in Seattle has the stuff in different densities and on display.  I bought a bunch of fiberglass and gel coat materials from them a couple of years ago and they are good folks to deal with.  That is where I'm going for the foam to build some new targets later this summer.
