I got one of these recently and I'm happy with it.  And it's made in USA.

With hay bails I cut the twine then rety as tight as I can get them by hand...they are tight enough to stop my arrows but not so tight that I can't easily push the arrow through and not ruin the fletch.

I saw an interesting video the other day where a guy filled up a bucket with rubber mulch for BH practice. He cut a cardboard lid to shoot through and hold the mulch in, laid the bucket on its side and shot into it. Looked like it worked ok but I haven't tried it. I might when my foam target finally dies.

Look at grey wolf woolens, had mine for over decade, love it.

I really like my KUIU lightweight Boonie.

Following, my problem is I need a 2x-3x to fit my head

Love my boonie hats and I've lost a few, and worn a few out over many seasons... Looking to purchase another one, appreciate shorter brims and quality construction. It's been a loooong time since I've looked at em, what do those of you who wear em like?
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Absolutely! Some areas are 50:1 does to bucks!

I'm a big fan of reflective wraps on my aluminum arrows. I think they look good, are easy to install and fletch on.

I do like to turn them red as well.

I also like Onestringer's wraps and wrap aluminum and carbon.  I put 2 wraps on before bare shaft tuning to try to get closer to the spine of a wrapped & fletched arrow.
