Not sure if anyone has already asked this question, but does anyone here know how to make a homemade target that can withstand broadheads?

Take a look at my newspaper target...it can definly take a broadhead hundreds of times...but the only down side is, it is a bit hard to remove the arrows if using broadheads.

The best one I've found is a sandy creek bed / bank.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Im using the newspaper one but with a replacable butt. Thats because i like being able to move my target around but the bank of sand/dirt is certainly a good target. Also i had a ready supply of cardboard so that was easy for me.
Cheers, Toby
