I replaced it with a Black Hole in which they sank to the fletching the first time I used it. So I spent $100 on an 18" X 18" Block Classic which looks like it will last for many, many years. It is quite a bit thicker than my original Block so that should increase longevity. The only thing I don't like about it is the arrows are harder than &#%$ to pull out. No doubt it will get better after I put enough arrows into it and it starts loosening up.

Go to thrift store and get their throw away clothes and fill them yourself. The bag/skin is guaranteed to 1000 shots per mark, 18 on the bag, so 18,000 shots. I just picked up 2, filled them both and they stop my field points everytime. Cost is cheap to make, arrows go in about 6-8 inches and can pull out with two fingers. When I filled mine I put all the clothes in a trash bad inside the thirdhand bag to avoid moisture inside and also cover the bag with a can liner aftershooting. So far I have zero complaints. Will be buying skins soon and making a wood frame target to shoot into as well.

I have always lined mine with used carpet to help the burlap hold up. So i just take the carpet and shape a U with it and stuff with used plasitc bags and such. I think they run $15

Have had 2 Morrel yellow jackets. 1st was great, 2nd anything hits on the right side of the target is very tough to pull arrows out of.

I bought The Black Magnum by Delta McKenzie three months back. I love it. Stops my 521 grain arrows (tipped with Silver Flame broad heads) like a Pinto hitting a brick wall. Very safe and secure shooting, and easy to remove. It has held up well so far.
