HUNT,

I don't know if it's the best or not but I use a Morrel Carbon Six Shooter for warm up.  Reason is I can use my broadheads on it out of my Oneida Black Eagle bow even though I don't use carbon arrows.  It will stop ALL arrows from even the highest speed bows.  Lawdog

I use a bag target for target points and a dense foam target for broadheads. The broadheads are REALLY tough to pull out though! Both are stocked by the local archery shop. I shoot 80 grain tipped carbons from a 50 lb Matthews but they've both stopped 100grain tipped carbon arrows from a 65lbs Matthews.

I shoot Gold Tips and use a Morrell's Range Target.  Stops 'em all and has lasted me three years now...and I bought it used from a local 3-D range.

:D I use a bag target for target points. I shoot around 60# . My buddy came over with a big block and his new bow. We both shot carbon target pts and it worked well. He said he used in to practice with in Wyoming while elk hunting. His new carbon arrows have the inserts inside the shaft.He used to have the inserts that slide over the small diameter carbons and lost some of those in his target.

Me and my dad shoot at bag targets.  We both pull between 70 and 80 pounds his from a matthews with Gold tips and mine from a martin with Beman ics hunters.  Be carful when byig a bag though you get what you pay for.

I have had a bag for about two years now and it is torn to peices.  I wouldn't waste my money on another one.   Next thing i am going to try is a block.

Yep, The Block is the way to go.  We have had one for several years.  Even shooting the occasional broadhead these things hold up fantastic. :D
