Gah! What're y'all using for archery targets?

After finishing housework and projects yesterday, I finally got out to do some archery practice. Which was great until I finished the session with some "shoot quickly on the move" play, and had a couple near misses whisper past the top of the haybale into the hayfield.

... and there went more coin than I want to think about in arrows lost.

Because (aging) haybales are such a pain to move, I'd been just using some stacked on the edge of the hayfield.
As I've learned, that's just obviously not going to work well if I'm going to have any misses at all.

I think my options are to find some kind of moveable (fabric?) backstop, or break down and buy/build a proper moveable target that I can place well back in the short grass so I'm more likely to find any misses.

What sort of solutions to the losing-arrows-problem have y'all been using? I'd like to figure this out while I'm still only (mostly) losing commercial arrows, and not nice handmade recreations.

The local ranges, including the 'walking-path-hunting' trails all use stacks of carpet strips (12-36") bound with steel straps.
I hate pulling my shafts from these so I cruise craigslist for used foam targets.... cheap.

I hang those over the range target or stick it on a plastic barrel in my yard.

I also try to hang a heavy blanket or comforter behind my target in my yard to catch arrows that miss target. Since I get the blanket from a yard sale, cheap, it is no loss to damage them.
Pity I cannot do that at a range<g>.

I use a Wal-Mart dog food bag, stuffed full of Wal-Mart and other plastic grocery sacks. Just keep packing them in there until you reach the desired density, leave enough room at the top to tie the big bag shut and tie it off to a stake.. Very cheap, recycled materials, holds up very well.

I bought a target today, cheap I thought, then I brought it home and discovered that it's all closed cell foam!
At work, we throw away more big chunks of closed cell foam than I am comfortable admitting to. So when I get back to work, you bet I am going to bet hunting for scrap!
