If you want a two finger pull for field points make your own target. One burlap sack packed with shrink wrap, also will take alot of shots. burlap sack will wear out first.

The bag idea works well but I think that they may be talking about broadheads

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE BLOCK, BUT I HAD A BLACKHOLE, AND IT DID NOT HOLD UP AT ALL SHOT IT OUT IN ONE SUMMER, MAYBE WITH JUST FIELDTIPS, BUT BROADHEADS NO, AND I EVEN USE THE MUZZY PRACTICE BLADES.

The local range that I shoot at has the same material that the block uses. It is actually the same stuff, bought from the same company that sells it to the block company. Like many ranges, they used to use cardboard, but it didn't last long at all. They didn't have the man power to keep replacing it. Now that they have the block material, they haven't done anything with it for over a year. The only drawback is that it cost them $10,000 to buy it all. They expect it to last them for more than 10 years, so in the long run, it is much cheaper. And carbons pull hard without a lube.

Our 1st block lasted 3 years with 3 of us using it shooting thousands of shots. We also shoot a significant amount of broadheads too. Got the 2nd one for X-mas 2 years ago and it's still holding up fine. I don't know of another that would of held up the same.
