It just cracks me up that the Black Hole ads like to point out that their layers run vertical so you don't shoot down through the layers when shooting from an elevated postition.

When I shoot my Block from a treestand or other elevated position, I simply turn it on its side and....what the....now it has vertical layers! It's like magic!

The Block & Black Hole are very similar IMO and both will withstand a lot of abuse. But the bottom line is that no target will last forever. And no target will withstand the repeated abuse from broadheads for very long. But I think that either of these two targets work better than most on the market. Although the face of my Block may be chewed up a little from broadheads, I still have yet to have an arrow come close to passing thru and it's going into its 3rd year of service.
