The Block or The Black Hole are great for shooting onlyfield tips. Sure, they say you can shoot broadheads into them and they will handle it - that is true. But the broadheads willtear into the compressed foam layered fibersand will slowly destroy the darn thing - trust me.... [&o]

Well another target ?.. I have been shooting the crap out of Morrels Yellow Jacket targets. The only real down side is that you have to buy two targets. One for field points and one for BH's.. However the price is great and they have been holding up really well and both targets have easy arrow removal! Hope this will help you out!

For shooting field tips any quality bag target is the way to go.

For shooting broadheads get the cheap broadhead target at Walmart. They all get cut up to the point of being unusable so why spend a hundred bucks on a block.

Yep. For field points a bag is the only way to go. They stop em dead, and literally fall out. Besides, they can take thousands, if not tens of thousands of shots.
