Old cotton pillows work great.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Get a feed sack burlap or synthetic, stuff it full of plastic grocery bags. Stops a target point very well and its easy to remove also. Won't work with BH's.

I prefer burlap feed bags over poly bags because they are not effected by UV rays but plastic grocery bags stuffed into a feed bag makes an excellent target. Most feed bags, if laid on side, is about the size of a deer. I hang them around the woods for a simple 3D range.      Pat

ps, For broadheads, I use a recycle rubberized foam block I bought at a 3D shoot.     Pat

I also use a big block of foam. Its 4 feet thick 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. Should last many years. I got it from a building project at work. They use it to build on top of.
Before that I used old couch cushions stuffed inside a box and wrapped with duct tape. Works good as long as you put it away every time but that didnt happen :)

in my area of saskatchewan theres a lot of oil wells which means alot of tanks, they coat these tanks with a spray on foam,when they replace a tank or replace the foam they roll the old stuff into giant balls that barely fit in the back of a halfton. works great for bh's and its free if you pick it up on site. can be trimmed to any shape rectangle or deer.

Hung an old peace of carpet (thicker is better), than hung a number of tennis balls with a string thru then in front of the carpet, use blunts, rubber or Tarantulas are better,Your target will last forever, and the good thing is that when you hit a ball you can practice on a moving target now ;D

you may not want to try my way because it took at least 2 hours to put it together.
The rolled Card board is behind the layered because my arrows kept going through the wood in the back, Dont' want holes in the wall.
