What targets do you guys use for Broadheads?
I've got a American whitetail block target. These 160 gr treeshark are tearing out huge holes..I'm only shooting one arrow, it won't last a week.
I use the Morell stinger broadhead target.
Works great for broadheads...but caution don't shoot a field tip into it, you'll play hell getting it back out!
I use the Reinhart 18-1. Works great on broadheads, and if you can successfully wear it out in a year, Reinhart will give you a new one.
I've had it almost 8 months, it's not going to happen from me.
I use a pile of sand. I've had it since I moved to my house 8 years ago. It was free, Takes no maintenance, and has some nice wildflowers growing out of the top that the deer like to eat.
Morell BH target here. They do "shoot out" though. But then you can get all the BH's you have had come off in it back! Curious as to how othere like the 18-1.
If I used sand where I live, I would have great opportunities on live game as the neighborhood felines would love the new litter box......
Walmart has a $25 broadhead target. I have used mine for 2 years. I only use it to test my broadheads. It will last me another couple years and if it doesn't, who cares.
We still have a pile of woodchips in my berry field. Works really well and is very cheap.

I will second Chris's answer! Seen it :thumbsup: first hand last weekend
Compressed newspaper or cardboard. It can be a little difficult to pull braodheads of at times and makes a bit of a mess but we usually have lots of newspaper and cardboard laying around to use.
Here's one I made out of a pack of folding insulation from Lowe's, a couple of boards, and some angle iron and threaded rods. I got the idea from another fella on a trad archery website. You end up with 4 separate sections of foam - when one section gets shot to pieces, you can just replace that section, not the whole target.
