I have 2 Trapper Nelson's. Bought them in BC. Work for me. Sure you find them here in Alberta somewhere.

Hunter 10 go down to jimbo's archery , jimmy's got some great targets at a good price, and if you want something else he can order it for you.............

If you go don't forget to look at his board of this years animals taken, there's some kool stuff on there.

I'm pretty lucky, as I have a huge pile of wood chips to shoot into from as far back as I want. Even at 15 yards, the arrows don't get buried and pull out easily.

What I really like about it too is that my field points are now retired and I can shoot strictly with my boadheads. Last year I was pretty surprised just how different the 'points of impact' actually were.

When theres time, I'll take you and your Dad out there.

I built a wood frame and layered tyvek across it about 8 times then filled in behind it with hay and tyvek bunched up. The amazing part is just the layers of tyvek with nothing behind it will stop an arrow at 10 yards!
