Oh is stops them just fine, its just trying to get them out that is the problem. My buddy has one and we have shot it with both, but dang is it hard to pull fieldpoints out of it. When it takes 1 minute to shoot 5 arrows and 5 minutes to pull them out its no fun.AlsoI like to be resting between shots, not so when you are pulling with all your might to get the dang arrows out of the target.
