BGfisher... isn't it amazing how fast those huge $400-600 blocks wear out when customers think they have to constantly practice w/ their broadheads?
Tell me about it. Any of the layered targets are not meant to be pounded with blades. It takes chunks out of them pretty fast. Then the guy pisses and moans about the target not lasting.

Tell ya what Kevin. I dug out my hunting bow this year and made a couple small changes (slight anchor point and peep change). Took it out and sighted it in out to 50 yards (moveable sight). Then dug out my GT Pro 22's with heads on them from last year. Fired r arrows from 20 yards, 6 from 30 yards, and 6 from 40 yards. Hva e the same results as last year. Both target points and broadheads are still grouping together almost too nicely. Then I put new blades in the heads and hung the whole bow up for a month. Dug out the target bow to help keep the muscles and feeble mind in shape.

There's just no need to pound broadheads to death for the one or two shots I might get during hunting season---if I'm lucky. The bow shoots where I aim it and I know what it can do and what I can do with it. There is just nothing like a well tuned set of equipment.
