How long does your bow target last?

How long does your bow target last, compared to dozen arrows?

I will usually find that a dozen arrows will out last most targets.

I do have a good back stop so I don't lose many arrows.

I just started bow hunting. I made a homemade target and so far it has lasted me two months and by the looks of it it will last for a long time. The cardbord of the box will wear out first!

I have gone through 2 dozen arrows over the past 10 years and our target is still going strong. It is a homemade target that my dad and my brother made even before I could hunt. I am 24 now!

I've had my yellow-jacket broadhead target for over a year now. That's pretty good, since I shoot an average of 100 arrows a week with broadheads.

It is made of some 2x4's And a bunch of cardboard that was been compressed together by some metal rods. It is pretty heavy though and we only use it in the back yard. I am looking for a good target though for when we are out in the field though. I have been doing a lot of research and trying to find the best target out there for a "cheap" price. I know now a days "you get what you pay for" So any recommendations or suggestions would be helpful.
