Question... What is your favorite block target that can handle broadheads? Reason... This week I shredded a cheap layered target getting my bow sighted in. Thanks for your input!

Rhineharts are your best bet.
:yeah:
and dont shoot only broadheads. no target will last forever, but rineharts seem to handle abuse the best.

second not shooting broadheads all the time. broadheads and targets are very expensive. i wont shoot broadheads until august and then i will only shoot each one enough to confirm that it does what it needs to do. maybe 10 shots with each of the 5 broadheads in my quiver.

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.

Where do you get this foam?
If you are in the Seattle area you can get it at http://www.tapplastics.com/

Is this the foam you guys are using? http://greatstuff.dow.com/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.
