It's called "The Blob". 
http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1206939 http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1206951 I ordered the 24"X24"X12" version, and the sucker supposedly weighs a little over 100 pounds!  Hopefully it will be the last target I need to buy.

You're gonna love that thing.
Local shop here has an entire wall made out of basically the same stuff. Carpet capital of the world is right up the road and they basically melt down the carpet padding and make the same thing in huge blocks. Yes, it's HEAVY, but man, arrow removal is so simple and it holds up like nothing I've ever seen. |

Quoted:
Will you be shooting broadheads into it? Probably a little bit of everything. I've been using Rage 2-blade broadheads, but may switch to Magnus Buzzcuts for the heck of it. If I do, I'll be shooting them into the new target, as they are fixed heads. Quoted:

| My peeve is when the target block shifts a little from the impact of the arrow, which causes the arrow in the target to sit angled in relation to the next fired arrows, so you end up hitting the arrow inside the target and cracking it or completely cutting it in two if shooting broadheads. |

The target arrived tonight –– all 120.5 pounds of it! It was heavier than I estimated earlier. My wife said the FEDEX guy just rolled it out of the back of the truck onto the driveway and drove off after telling her that he could not get it to the porch. Man, you are breaking all the arfcom rules. You can't mention wife, FEDEX delivery, and new target without posting a pic of least one of them.

The sides bowed out before it set up, so I need to find some way to trim it back to square. I'd build one of those hot-wire set-ups that people create to cut the foam in Pelican cases, but it would probably be an expensive endeavor. My wife shooting an M60 at a private shoot we attended recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qtU0A3EwxA Sorry, but I don't have any pictures of the obese FEDEX man.
