Archery Target Recs

Block.

For a recurve a bag should be plenty for field points. Shooting broad heads at a target look at a block, black hole, or similar.

Grew up shooting broadheads into milk jugs from elevation when I was a teenager though. Worked fine for the few times I practiced with broadheads before I got a block.

Almost anything will work with a recurve. Foam blocks are probably best if you're shooting broadheads. If you're not, bags filled with rags or fiber are an option. Some traditional shooters actually build a sort of opened-fronted sand box and shoot into the sand. They just rake it back up once in a while. It will polish your arrows a bit, but it's a target that will last forever. I've been thinking about making one for myself.

I bought a black hole 18" 4 weeks ago. It's done, only shot 6 broadheads in it.

I don't get the love for Block targets. I shot out a Block Black in less than a month. The only positive is that they offer easy arrow removal. Rineharts are only a little more expensive and they are far, far more durable.
