back in another life I used to pick up polystyrene sheets from factory in CHCH.....it came in big blocks and was cut into sheets with hot wire.....now one of them big blocks would be just the ducks nuts....

Avoid polystyrene - even if it is a thick enough piece to stop a broad head, the arrow speeds generated by compound bows are fast enough that arrows generate enough heat from friction as they enter the polystyrene to melt it. It sticks to the shaft and can be a right bastard to yank back out... And then you have to clean the melted stuff off. You're better off getting an EVA foam backstop.

I use rolled up carpet seems to work well cheap and easy

Broad heads are always a problem. The cheapest option I have found is to sacrifice one BH, and shoot it into a clay bank. Sacrifice as in it gets blunt quick but the clay stops the well and they are easy to recover.
