I am going to buy the "Black Hole" target block. It's awesome!
I was at Dick's Sporting Goods on Sunday goofing around (since it was raining as usual...) and checking out their new bows. I saw a brand new
Fred Bear TRX Real Tree Hardwoods camo'd bow on display, and it was a lefty model too! [8D] The salesman let me demo it in their indoor range (about 20 yards long). They had four "Black Holes" bolted to the wall and huge padding and insulation all around the walls as well. Anyway, long story short, I checked out the Fred Bear TRX at $399 on sale. It was a single cam bow, 70# draw, 29" draw length (I'm 30"), with an 80% letoff. At it's peak, it shoots 302fps! [&:] Let me say this.... I was shocked and started when I released the Beman carbon arrow w/field tip. The bow went off like a high powered rifle and, even though I was not use to the bow, and it didn't fit right, I did hit the "Black Hole" at 20 yards. It managed to stop a 302fps carbon arrow from 20 yards away. The Arrow went roughly 3/4 of the way though the Black Hole! Now,
THAT is a strong target block!

P.S. I put back the Fred Bear TRX.... It was way out of my league. I'll admit it.... I don't think I could comfortably handle a bow of that power and small size. I am happy and content with my old PSE Edge Series 1000C, 41" ATA dual cam round wheel bow.
