What's good backing for BR 100/200 yd competition targets that prevents bullet hole blow-out?

[Cassidy]

I use firm paper targets from Orville that are 8x16" with 40 bullseyes on them (Jim Casey 5x 8 bulls -100 yards practice targets. I staple them with 8 staples to the target backing stands at our range so they are as close to the backing as feasible. However, I am getting blown-out bullet holes on the target. Any thoughts about easily available backing paper that can prevents these blow-outs other than cardboard (which is too thick for stapling) or post board which is rather expensive for this use. Maybe something I can order from Amazon or a shooting supplies company online. All thoughts are welcome.

Fresh cardboard makes the cleanest hole. Use longer staples or pins.

Old political signs or buy it by the sheet form Lowe’s or Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Corop...2R7uEUdaLvnCxq093GcNkAZw-uemBZBRoC9T0QAvD_BwE

I spray glue new targets over old targets.
I made my own stands out of 1x2's & use big binder clips to hold targets on .

heavy cardboard backing behind your target, normally I just use a magic marker and draw my “dots” on the Cardboard and don’t use store board targets p. Works for me

1/2 inch pink construction foam....self healing.

Staples pull out with the target...no torn paper.

Political signs are what I use - 18"x24". If you want bigger than that, there are plenty of vendors (Hobby Lobby?) that sell it. I think it's called something like coro-board.

Broke open soda cartons, Coke cases, Staple paper to it or stick shoot'n see to it. These staple nicely to our ranges backer boards. Also recycles garbage.
