I've purchased this target foam twice now. The first time the foam was grey and as described 1/16" thick. This time the foam I received was black and 1/4" thick. I don't why it is different but I think the thinner foam lets the arrows slide between layers extending the life of the target. If my second order had been the 1/16" foam I would have given an excellent rating. I'll have to see how this 1/4' foam holds up before I can rate it excellent. Still, it makes a better target than a block or bag target.Shipping was fast and reasonable.
