RE: The Block
 

Got one for christmas. Kinda cold out so I've only put 20 or so arrows in it. Not the easiest to pull the arrows out but it is getting easier with every shot. Arrow only go in 10 in. or so. So far so good. I think it will last me quite a few years. I think Santa did a good job picking it out for me!

RE: The Block
 

You didn't mention if you will be shooting broadheads into your new target, so I will offer this for standard fieldpoints. I have an Eternity target from Morrell that is three years old, and I shoot everyday, weather permitting. This target has taken thousands of shots without a single pass-thru. I have replaced the outside cover once and in terms of maintenance, you simply lay it flat and jump on it to recompress material and alternate shooting between the front and back of the target. For 50 bucks, I simply cannot imagine a better more durable target. Good shopping.

I have the $80 and I love it. Just got it for x-mas and I've already put over 100 shots into with feild tips. Arrows aren't too easy to pull out but I'm sure it'll last me some time.

RE: The Block

I bought the $60 Block. Mine shot through pretty quickly but I was shooting at 10-12 yards in my garage.

RE: The Block
 

I bought the HOLE this season and like it; the HOLE is for elevated shots (the layers run vertical); i would think that if you are using the BLOCK for elevated shots you will definitely tear them up because you will be shooting thru the layers not directly into them; that being said, I do notice that the broadheads will cut and pull small poeces out but I'm not very worried; I think it will hold up well

RE: The Block
 

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.

RE: The Block
 

point taken
granted the larger square BLOCK/HOLE targets would sit both ways, but my portable HOLE wouldn't stand on end for more than one shot, so I really do need one with vertical layers because you shoot once and...what the... awe man the the thing tipped over

RE: The Block
 

I just bought The Block ($59.99 model) a couple of days ago and love it so far. The arrows are a little tough to pull out but that will change as I break in the target more. I would recommend buying one.
