I've been punching arrows into my old Walmart target for a few years, losing enough by blowing through, (I never miss ), to pay for a better target several times over.
I'm slow to buy gear, not so much the money, as I don't have a bunch of time to research it all. That's what has been great about Rokslide and all the gear freaks on here.
Jared Bloomgren recommended the Hips targets and I decided to give them a try. I just ordered mine.
I'm gettting the X2 Series

in Muley of course.
that's just a pic from their website, but I'll take some field photos when I get mine and can test it out.
The target is advertised to take both broadheads and field points. I've heard that before from other manufacturers, but am usually disappointed when I try to pull my broadheads out.
These X2's seem more promising, though, as instead of layered foam, they have heat welded endurance foam, which is essentially a "solid", and will stop the arrows with less penetration, and should make it easier to pull the broadheads out as the layered foam's edges grab the blades. The foam is also advertised as self-healing.
I'll let you know.
Anyone else test these out?
