Default new target

My wife just bought me a new target. It is a morrell yellowjacket block. It says on the target that it is for use with broadheads. Will I have a problem shooting field tips into it?

If it's like most targets, you should have no trouble at all with field tips.

If it is for broadheads, then don't shoot field tips into it. I have heard they are really hard to remove.

The fieldpoints wont hurt it,but they sure are a tough to get out. I like a bag for practice, makes for easy removal.

A buddy of mine has one of these and we shot field points and broadheads into it this weekend. Broadheads slid right out but the field points were a bear to get out.
