The portable goes for $59.95 plus shipping at Cabela's. You may be able to find it a little cheaper if you shop around.

Don't shoot broadheads into it if you want it to last.

I agree with the comment about not shooting broadheads if you want it to last.  They claim they will take thousands of broadhead hits without any major damage, what a load of crap.  I have shot about 20 broadheads into mine.  If you stick a fieldpoint where a broadhead hit it will dang near bury up to the fletching, plus all the pieces of foam coming out the front of the target.

Quite honestly, I do not see how any target would ever hold up to broadheads.  I just wish companies would not make such wild claims if it is not true.

I have one of the larger Blocks and you should not shoot broadheads into it. I did a little and quit.  I have torn the center up since March/April even with field points.

I finally took 2 - 2x6's, drilled holes in them and using 3/8" threaded rod, compressed it some more.  It is better but it will proobably have to be replaced after next season.  

Still the best backstop I have ever used!
