So far I'm really pleased with my Block 4x4... So far its much more durable than the last original block I owned.

I got a Morrell's yellowjacket broadhead target. Had a problem with it and they replaced it fast and free. The second one is great. very, very good customer service from this company!

The Morrells is great for broadheads, and the block is great for field tips.. I have both. Be very careful with layered targets and broadheads, you will soon be flying through your tartet. With each broadhead shot in a layerd target it rips the layers.

I had a Morrell six shooter which I was getting pass throughs after about 100 shoots with broadheads. Below is still my favorite target which I made:

Bob, what kind of foam are you using... I have done that with old layers from the cube, the block ect... Looks like 3/4 inch foam used on home exteriors. Looks like it a good idea... I used ratchet straps for the binding.

The best I found is to use a bag target for fieldpoints and the Yellowjacket for broadheads. My Yellowjacket lasted a little longer then the block but more importanly it was alot cheaper!!!!
