My rag filled garbage can. Have replace the cardboard target face with a Dart Board mat from these guys http://www.arrowmat.com/. The target mat keeps you from having to replace the cardboard. When I'm done shooting the last arrow, I just flip it up and put the lid on. No need to carry inside out of the weather.

Field point target is a gunny sack stuffed with old rags with 1 end sewed shut. Tie paracord to each of 2 corners and hang between 2 trees so it swings when it is shot.

Third Hand Archery 'Rag Bag Target' for field points (although I must tell you Brian's garbage can target impressed the heck out of me at Boofest) and the Rhinehart Rhinoblock or 18-in-1 for broadheads.

I use a Delta McKenzie Speedbag 20/20 for field tips it's around $30.00 USD.

For broadheads I'm using a 18-1 rinehart and I like it a lot.

I have the same as ThackMan a Delta McKenzie Speed Bag. I bought it at Dicks for around $50.00. It's roughly 24x24x10. I've only used it for about 1/2 a dozen shots but so far it's worked great.

I'm really happy with this set up, I had gold tip laser 2's fletched straight with 4" vanes and 110gr brass inserts and they were flying all over with fixed heads. Switched to 20" zombies, 80gr brass inserts, 2" Blazers fletched with a helical and now it's flatter and dead on accurate. I have switched back and fourth between 100gr fixed broadheads and 125gr fixed and haven't noticed a big difference in poi out to 40yrds. I wouldn't change a thing

The Pro Elites have 68 gr brass inserts from the factory 466 gr total weight with a 125 gr tip.
Didnt want the arrows that came with it cause I wanted Lumenoks my pro shop suggested them.
But now they come with 3" shield cut vanes & are changing them again soon I'm told.
Bohning 4" vanes have wrinkled on me in the past so if I need to re-fletch kinda thinkin Blazers have them on my arrows for my Mathews have been good shootin a biscuit rest.
